If a life raft should capsize __________.
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — right the raft using the righting straps
Inflatable liferafts are equipped with righting straps specifically designed to allow a person in the water to leverage their body weight to flip the raft back over. This is the standard procedure for recovering from a capsize, as attempting to climb onto the bottom is ineffective and dangerous.
