How can one reduce the risk of death when immersed in cold water?

  1. By wearing waterproof clothing

  2. By staying in the water longer to acclimate

  3. By wearing a life jacket

  4. By immediately getting out of the water

The correct answer is: By wearing a life jacket

Wearing waterproof clothing (A) may keep the person dry, but it does not prevent the risk of death when immersed in cold water. Staying in the water longer to acclimate (B) may actually increase the risk of death as the body loses heat faster in cold water. Immediately getting out of the water (D) is important, but it does not reduce the risk of death. Wearing a life jacket (C) is the best way to reduce the risk of death as it helps the person float and conserves body heat in cold water.
