Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1400 (Set 43)

How is the external flotation bladder of an immersion suit inflated?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — It is inflated by blowing through an inflation tube.

Operational guidelines for USCG-approved immersion suits specify that the removable or external head support bladder is inflated orally via an attached inflation tube rather than a mechanical CO2 cylinder.
