Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1195 (Set 37)

You are in the process of righting an inflatable liferaft that has inflated in an upside down position. Which statement is TRUE?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Swim out from under the raft in a face up position to keep your life preservers clear of the raft.

When righting an overturned liferaft, personnel must swim out face-up to prevent life preserver straps or gear from snagging underneath the canopy. Following SOLAS survival techniques ensures mariners avoid entanglement hazards while utilizing body weight and the righting strap.
