- Survival Suits.
Why did people die despite wearing life jackets after the Titanic sank? The answer is hypothermia.
Well, that’s where the survival suits become increasingly important. They are also called immersion suits and are used as protection overalls.
Their main function is to reduce the body heat loss of a person in cold water and hence prevent death due to hypothermia.
Typical designs allow the body temperature to prevent falling below 35 degree Celsius for six hours for a person in the water at 0 degrees Celsius.
