How to save yourself from falling overboard in a boat
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a ship in distress and fall overboard, you should stay calm and try to grab the floating objects in the water, such as lifebuoys, wooden boards, foam boards, etc., and use their floats to survive.
When you are not wearing a life jacket, you can use the correct floating action to save yourself, and at the same time, you must also look for floating objects around you to buy rescue time.
Back drift
When the water surface is relatively calm, you should adopt a back-up floating position.
Expose your mouth and nose to the surface of the water, dip your head into the water as much as possible to increase buoyancy, stretch your limbs, and increase the area of water.
Drift down
If there is a strong tidal current at the place where you fall into the water, you should adopt a prodigal position.
The head looms in the water, and the arms are naturally vertical downwards. When you need to breathe, hold your breath for a few seconds, relax your body, hang your limbs naturally, press the water downwards and outwards with both hands, and push your legs hard at the same time, lift your head up and exhale and inhale, then lower your head and hold your breath, and return to the floating position.
Hold body temperature in the water
When a person is immersed in cold water, the body surface temperature is lost quickly, and he will die due to hypothermia. In order to maintain body temperature, you should shrink your body in the water and cross your feet to reduce the contact area with the water.
If more than one person falls into the water, you can huddle together to keep warm and encourage each other.
