ABSTRACT:
A liferaft having a seat chamber which serves as a cushion between occupants of the raft and a deck in a "dry evacuation" situation, to avoid occupants, in a partially filled raft, from totally compressing the seat chamber and suffering injury due to impacting the deck. The seat chamber is internally divided by dividers into a plurality of sub-compartments each divider being in the form of a wall which allows gas to pass for inflation but resists rapid expulsion of gas from any one subcompartment upon impact.
