Very well explained, and also very simple to understand. Today we activated a old one, expired in 2019, but it did work! We are teaching in a nautical school so now we can show to our students how does it look after the activation. We got it from our former student.
Excellent, very clearly shown

More plastic in the sea....
Completely useless. In a storm (storm and the sinking of a ship often are combined) these rafts simply sail away fast, sea-anchor or no sea-anchor. People in cold water suffer an acute loss of strength. If they are not directly next to the raft, they have zero chance getting to it. It's a very nice idea, but simply doesn't work under these circumstances.
Good point, but I think exaggerated. Vessel sinkings aren't always caused by high winds - think collisions, groundings, swampings (by other vessels), loss-of-hull integrity, misballastings and more. Also, there are plenty of examples of folks making it into independently released liferafts even in stormy conditions.
