Safety experts estimate that half of all drowning victims die from the fatal effects of cold water, or hypothermia, and not from water filled lungs. Having a life raft aboard your vessel can help you avoid direct contact with the elements that can cause hypothermia, as well as provide you with the supplies you might need in order to sustain life should anything ever happen to your vessel.
