True or False: Survivors wearing buoyant suits will increase the self-righting feature when using a litter.

The statement is false because buoyant suits are designed to provide additional buoyancy and thermal protection for the wearer, but they do not inherently enhance the self-righting feature of a litter. A litter is a device used for transporting individuals, often in rescue situations, and its ability to self-right depends primarily on its design, weight distribution, and how it is loaded rather than the buoyancy of the survivor wearing a suit.

Even in various conditions or with trained teams, the buoyant suit does not impact the mechanics of the litter's self-righting feature. There are numerous factors that can contribute to the effectiveness of rescue equipment, such as water conditions, the construction of the litter, and the technique of the rescuers, rather than relying on the buoyant suit alone. Thus, while buoyant suits provide important benefits for survivors, they do not play a direct role in improving the self-righting capability of a litter.
