Statistics say we live in the calmest of times in the history of humanity. However, the world is still a dangerous place. For instance, do you know how to escape from a sinking car?

SUMMARY

  • Your phone may become a means of saving other people’s lives: you’ll be able to call the rescue service in an emergency. Always keep your phone charged.
  • Even if you’re sure you’re not to blame for bumping into someone on the street, say "sorry" and keep going. You don’t know who you ran into. A person you’ve touched may be carrying a weapon or be drunk or high.
  • Wherever you go, be it a concert, a railway station, or even a school, make sure you see three exits. It can be both easy and hard. Scan the space with your eyes so that even if there’s only one door, you’ll find at least three ways out.
  • Our intuition is rarely mistaken. If someone appears dangerous to you, then they probably are. Try to keep away from them.
  • If there’s smoke, the emergency lighting can be too dim to guide you. When you know for sure the number of rows between your seat and the exit, you can move toward it counting the headrests.
  • There are many potential emergency situations where you may need to hold on to a narrow ledge. A strong grip and trained wrist muscles will allow you to stay safe for as long as it might be needed.
  • When you follow your first instinct, you become prey. Who or whatever is threatening you, slow down, raise your head, and look sideways to see the danger with your peripheral vision.
  • To get out of a sinking car, you should first unbuckle your seat belt. Instead of opening the door, roll the window down. If you don’t have your window open, break the glass.
  • However, don’t even try breaking the windshield — it is made of extra-strong, crash-resistant triplex safety glass. Many online shops offer special car window-breaking tools at affordable prices.
