    Pokaż odpowiedź

    • AYour body temperature drops to zero in seconds
    • BYour lifejacket stops working in cold water

    Cold shock triggers a gasp reflex and fast breathing. Without a lifejacket, you can inhale water and drown.

24. Pytanie 24 z 25

    You are alone in cold water, wearing a lifejacket, and cannot get out. What should you do?

    • ATake off your heavy clothes so you float better
    • BSplash and wave for as long as you possibly can

    • DSwim hard in circles so your body stays warm
    Pokaż odpowiedź
