Question 1155 Deck Safety
70% to passA safety feature provided on all inflatable liferafts is _______________.
A
water stabilizing pockets
B
internal releasing hooks
C
overhead safety straps
D
built in seats
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) water stabilizing pockets. Inflatable liferafts are required to have water stabilizing pockets as a safety feature. These pockets are designed to help keep the liferaft stable in the water by filling with water, which provides ballast and prevents the liferaft from overturning. This is an important safety measure to ensure the liferaft remains upright and stable, allowing those aboard to safely board and remain in the liferaft. The other options, while potentially safety features on some liferafts, are not universally required on all inflatable liferafts as the water stabilizing pockets are.
