The Science Behind Inflatable Rescue Boats

Inflatable rescue boats utilize multi-chambered rubber tubes filled with pressurized air surrounding a solid fiberglass hull. If one air chamber suffers a puncture during a rocky shore operation, the remaining sealed compartments keep the boat completely afloat.
