All this theorizing about life rafts presumes that there is a 100% success rate of their deployment and continued and sustained inflation.

Other than anecdotal evidence, I have not been able to find statistics of failure rates of life rafts. With confidence however, I accept that the failure rate is some number greater than 0%. I'll leave it for others on this forum to provide that number.

Perhaps, we should be looking at a less failure prone Plan B. Or even a Plan C.
