70% to passWhich statement is TRUE concerning life jackets which are severely damaged?
AThey can be repaired by a reliable seamstress.
BThey should be replaced.
CThey can be used for children.
DThey must be tested for buoyancy before being continued in use.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) They should be replaced. Life jackets that are severely damaged should be replaced, not repaired, as per the regulations set by the US Coast Guard. Damaged life jackets may not provide the necessary buoyancy and safety features required to properly protect the wearer in an emergency situation. Attempting to repair a severely damaged life jacket is not recommended, as this could compromise its effectiveness. The other options are incorrect - life jackets should not be used for children if severely damaged, and they should not be tested for buoyancy if the damage is significant, as they should simply be replaced.
