If you have to jump in the water when abandoning a MODU, what position should you maintain your legs?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — extended straight down and crossed at the ankles
Standard water entry survival procedures require jumping with legs extended straight down and crossed at the ankles. This posture minimizes the impact force on the groin, prevents the legs from spreading apart violently, and protects against underwater hazards.
