DESCRIZIONE
An inflatable life-raft (10) comprises a plurality of inflatable sections (50,60,70), a gas supply (80) for inflating the life-raft, and a valve arrangement (110) linked to the gas supply. The valve arrangement is sensitive to the orientation of the life-raft for directing gas from the gas supply (80) into at least a first inflatable section in a first orientation and into at least a second inflatable section in a second orientation. Such an arrangement can help to ensure that the life-raft inflates properly irrespective of the orientation in which it is launched. [Image Omitted]
