Question 2947Deck General70% to pass
In an emergency, if you must jump from a MODU, what is the best procedure to follow?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) holding down the life preserver against the chest with one arm crossing the other, covering the mouth and nose with a hand, and feet together.
This is the correct procedure because it helps protect the head and airway when entering the water from a height. Keeping the life preserver pressed against the chest and covering the mouth/nose helps prevent water entry and potential injury during the impact. The feet-together entry also minimizes the risk of limb injuries. The other options, while potentially acceptable for normal water entries, do not provide the same level of protection in an emergency jump from a MODU (mobile offshore drilling unit).
