Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #3193 (Set 90)

Handholds or straps on the underside of an inflatable life raft are provided __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — to right the raft if it capsizes

Righting straps are located on the underside of the raft to provide leverage for survivors if the raft inflates in an inverted position. By standing on the side with the gas cylinder and pulling on these straps, the weight of the survivor flips the raft into its proper upright orientation.
