Evillusion Supersonic August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 There is crocodile in the river too. Hope he is alright This one i concur...everytime we do river-crossing one of the controller on the assault boat will be carrying a rifle. So to when we were in the RPL from Bandar Seri Begawan to Lakiun and vice-versa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yewheng Twincharged August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 (edited) if they blow it up if wear for show never inflate also no use Inflatable lifejacket beside using blowing function, there is also CO2 canister at both left and right side of the pouch and also 2 strings that can pull from both left and right side of lifejacket. http://www.sailingproshop.com/lifejacket.aspx So in the event of lifejacket touches sea water, the sea water will come in contact with the salt bobbin, it dissolved and produce a spring that puncture the CO2 canister and inflate the lifejacket. In the event that the salt bobbin fails, there is also the manual pulling method which is to pull the string and puncture the CO2 canister and activate the lifejacket. So all these not for show.. For practical usage, lifejacket will not be blow up as it hinder personnel doing work. So when a person accidently drop into seawater, there the lifejacket will still be activated with the above 2 methods, so still ok la..

So all these not for show.. this one i not sure...especially the salt-bobbin one cos we are talking about saf issued equipments. I only know they was a string for a fast inflation and a whistle...and we had to blow the bugger up and do a buoyancy test everytime we are issued the vest!
