You fall and are hanging in your harness. Why is it urgent to get help or relieve pressure on your legs?
- The harness straps will slowly loosen and let you slip out of them completely

Hanging without moving can become life-threatening (suspension trauma). Use a relief strap to stand, move your legs and call for help.

Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. It blocks part of the firing mechanism, but it can fail

Pergunta 11 de 25
Why can a hunter wear blaze orange and still hunt deer?
- Deer see colours differently, so orange does not stand out to them as it does to us
- Orange clothing is only worn after the animal has been shot

- Deer are fully colour-blind, so they cannot see any bright colours at all in daylight
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. Deer see colours differently, so orange does not stand out to them as it does to us
Blaze orange is very visible to people but does not stand out the same way to deer. Movement is more likely to alert them.
