Question 2907Deck General70% to pass
If you have to jump in the water when abandoning a MODU, what position should you maintain your legs?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) extended straight down and crossed at the ankles.
When abandoning a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) and jumping into the water, keeping your legs extended straight down and crossed at the ankles helps minimize the impact and reduces the risk of injury upon entering the water. This position allows you to enter the water feet-first, which is the recommended safe entry technique, rather than landing on your body or head. The other options, such as kneeling or spreading your legs, would not provide the same level of protection and could lead to a harder, more dangerous entry into the water.
