Self-Righting explained

A Life Raft is most vulnerable to turn over when being inflated and the ballast pockets have not yet filled. It can also  be accidently inflated upside down or worse still rolled over in high seas.

This is the most dangerous time for the occupants as they can lose a lot of their body heat whilst trying to right the life raft.

SOS Marine has introduced the ISO 9650-1 approved Life Raft which is self-righting to help reduce their exposure time and ease of operation.
