now when you need help in public don't ask a group of people instead approach individuals because of something called the bystanders effect the group of people may not help you this social psychology theory states that people are less likely to help you when others are around them they assume someone else from the group will run to your rescue if you're driving in the city or in another area with a grid-like design and think you're being followed turn right or left four times you'll end up at the same place you were before and if the car
behind you does too you're probably being followed don't go home and try to lose them if you're Outdoors while a storm is approaching and your hair stands up find shelter immediately static in your hair means positive charges are rising through your body reaching toward the storm's negative charges you're likely to be struck by lightning if a shelter isn't available squat low on the ground on the balls of your feet put your hands on your knees and your head between them making yourself as small as possible will minimize the contact with the ground and the damage
from the light always carry a small mirror with you while traveling in isolated areas it'll come in handy if you get lost if you're stranded in the desert and a plane flies overhead point the mirror toward it to reflect the light if you don't have a mirror signal planes overhead by waving both your arms up and down if you're stranded somewhere in your car don't abandon it it's more challenging for Rescuers to spot you without your vehicle unlike what's shown on TV when someone's about to drown they won't wave or cry out they'll have their
head tilted back submerged in water they'll attempt to keep their mouth above the Surface by using their arms when you see someone looking like they're floating or Bing trying to get their head out of the water by trying to climb onto the surface of the water they need help if you can't swim and you've fallen in deep water Don't Panic hold your breath and let yourself Bob up to the surface keep your back and legs straight try performing little kicks to bring your body back to the surface if you're trying to save someone who can't
swim never approach them directly they'll likely bring you down in their Panic sneak up on them from behind slip your arm across their chest and make sure their hands aren't facing you if they grab you they can pull you under try to swim below them come back a bit further away and try to help them again if you come across a grizzly bear it's not your day now don't run and don't make eye contact slowly walk away if it isn't close to you but if it's charging stand still you can't outrun it speak in a
clear monotone voice and don't scream now prior to this you might want to research to see if there are grizzly bears where you're traveling and take Pepper or bear spray with you if a bear is within 25 ft of you then use the spray if it attacks you curl up in a ball and lie on the ground stay quiet don't move or Panic till it goes away now if a polar bear is chasing but it's far away start dropping clothing items a hat scarf or a shirt and run away pull Bears have short attention spans
and they may stop to sniff your clothing this will give you time to head to safety by the way if both of these bare encounters happen to you then please remind me not to go on vacation with you moving on if someone is choking but they're coughing don't intervene coughing means air can get both in and out and they've got a partial obstruction in their Airway by helping you could cause a back flow of air which could either Force out the hazard or dislodge the blockage and cause a full block just let them cough it
out only help when they can't breathe or cough when caught in a strong rip current never swim against it you'll Tire yourself and it won't end well swim parallel to the shore fast but stay calm and comfortable even if you get further out you'll eventually escape the current and can head back to shore thumbs are the weakest part of someone's grip if someone pulls you by the wrist don't twist your arms in their hand try to push away starting right where their thumbs are notify your state department if you're going abroad in the US and
some other Western countries you can tell the Department of State that you're going overseas in the event of a natural disaster or a political conflict they'll know that you need to be evacuated they'll also update you on things that happen in the country you're visiting to protect you from trouble if you find yourself in a stampede of people you're in trouble as soon as you fall don't curl up in a ball and wait for it to be over this can cause more damage try to grab someone's leg as they run past you to help yourself
up and keep going sometimes camping trips end with people lost if you're in such a situation and trying to walk out of the camping site take burned coal or wood sticks with you use them to draw messages on trees rocks or logs the markings will stay there for weeks and it'll be easier for the rescue party to trace you always carry a needle in your first aid kit if you're lost you can make a compass with one you first need to magnetize the needle by rubbing the eye against hair fur or silk around 100 times
fill a container with water place a leaf on the water surface and rest your Needle on the leaf it should start pointing North to South when calling emergency services first tell them your exact location and then the problem even if you get cut off they'll know where to send the police or an ambulance if you have a fishy smell in your home call a licensed electrician immediately it can come from overheated plastic in electrical components that can cause an electrical fire it might be from an outlet a switch an electrical breaker or something else like
the fish you're baking in the oven if a snake bites you there are a few ways to tell if it was venomous you can ask it probably won't tell you venomous snakes usually have multiple colors and cat-like pup look at the bite area if there are two deep puncture wounds you were most likely attacked by a venomous snake if the bite mark has tiny sharp teeth in a u-shape it was probably nonvenomous whatever the case call emergency services and snap a picture of the snake if you can using your mouth to pull the venom out
is even more dangerous you've got more chances of getting poison than removing the toxin from your body okay you're falling off a cliff you somehow didn't know about her boyfriend dang you're in a tight spot time to break the way down into several parts try grabbing anything you see as you plummet shrubs trees or rocks this way you divide a long fall into several short ones with each new fall the impact will decrease if enough of the impact is absorbed it means means you've got a better chance of survival and another chance at love but
not with her same for if you drop out of window try to cling to anything on your way it probably won't hold you but at least you'll have several falling intervals to help decrease your speed a canopy to stop you can be a real Lifesaver no matter if it's plastic or glass it'll hurt either way but you'll survive maybe you also need to bend your knees a little if bent your legs will touch the ground simultaneously and the consequences will be less severe another tip is that whenever you land try to do so on the
tips of your toes and never on straight and locked legs don't forget to cover your head with your arms they will help protect your Noggin no matter if you land on concrete or in a puddle of Mud now quicksand is not as dangerous as shown in movies if you get stuck in quicksand dang you're in a tight spot first off stay calm then you're not likely to sink more than up to your waist toss away anything that makes you heavier shoes bags even clothing wiggle your legs to create room for water it'll help you get
away your arms should always be up try floating but not on your stomach move backward with small steps big steps are harder to take so it'll take longer to get out when you reach solid surface roll out of that quick sand surviving a wild an animal attack may be challenging but a crowd of people is not any less dangerous the crowd may move like a fluid not letting you escape if you're trapped between hundreds of people dang you're in a tight spot rule number one is not to stop stopping is the fastest way to fall
if you actually do fall make an air pocket your arm should be placed above your face and chest embracing them if you manage to stay upright as soon as you feel the surge coming move with it and sideways at the same time if you're lost in the wilderness and need to go fishing you can use a can tab shape it in the form of a hook cut it at a slant and trim off the metal to make it look like an actual hook the main thing is to create a sharp point a can can also
become a makeshift cooker take a can and cut out a hole from the side put some kindling inside and set it on fire you can fry an egg on top of it dental floss can be super handy for surviving in the wilderness first use it as a fishing line together with a can tab hook it can also serve as a clothesline stretched between two trees it's thin yet a single strand can hold up to 5 lb you can make a spear by binding a long stick and a knife together with dental floss it's also quite
flammable so if you don't have any kindling to set larger pieces of wood on fire try burning it dental floss can can also be great makeshift shoelaces a simple plastic bottle can make a very strong rope if you have a good knife first you need to find a small stump it should have a diameter about the same as your bottle make a slit across the middle of the stump then cut a notch out of the stump large enough for your knife blade to fit inside cut off the bottleneck and make a small notch on its
Edge its width depends on the Rope width you want place the edges the bottle inside the center slit and put the knife in the notch in the stump with the blade towards the slit start slowly dragging the bottle through the slit you'll see the bottle spin as it spins the blade will cut out the Rope you can use it to build a Hut because it can secure logs really well now a human can go several days without food but there's no way we can survive without water water in the wild can be delicious sometimes but
if you feel like it's not safe to drink you may need a makeshift water filter start with a fire boiling water may not be enough so as soon as the fire ashes are cold grind them to a powdery consistency don't use charcoal you randomly found in the forest you never know what's in there then you need a plastic bottle cut off the bottom and make a hole in the C turn it upside down put in some charcoal 3 in are enough and pour the water over it the dripping water is ready to drink to catch
any excess charcoal wrap the cap with a piece of clean cloth for extra filtration okay you're you're getting hungry and you probably need to start a fire dang you just don't have any matches or a lighter empty your pockets to see if you can make a makeshift Fire Starter if you have a battery probably the one from your flashlight and a gum wrapper that's enough you need to cut a thin strip of the foil wrapper yet long long enough to connect the two ends of the battery the middle of the strip should be Slimmer than
the ends get closer to the pile of dry grass small logs or even some paper whatever you're going to use to start your fire the foil strip will ignite in seconds setting the kindling on fire well you finally made it after all that training you're ready for your first Skydive full of confidence you reach the door of the plane as it gets to 12,000 ft you step off into the air but at the last second you hear the instructor screaming something sorry I didn't check your shoot well you can't hear them as you drop away
from the plane seeing only his concerned expression well feels like something has gone wrong you pull the handle to release the parachute but it hasn't deployed correctly opening into a big wad and you're now spinning faster and faster you're getting dizzy but you need to pull yourself together each second is crucial and from this altitude you have less than a minute to act you throw yourself into the Bowman formation spreading your body out with your arms and legs forming a big ax this creates a little more drag allowing you to stabilize a bit hey this
whole thing is a drag now you have more time to get to your emergency Reserve shoot still dizzy from spinning you try to remember where it is you grab what you think is the right strap and pull it hard oh no that's a leg strap you've loosened the container on your back and now you're slipping out this is not your lucky day you hold on and tighten up the leg strap oh yeah the safety procedure is coming back to you now H step one cut away from the main parachute with a red handle done now
you're in freef Fall Again step two now find the silver rip cord handle to pop the reserve shoot got to hurry the ground is rushing up at you where's that handle whoops there it is sitting on your chest on the left You Yank It hard C thump the shoot flies out and deploys and slams the brake on your descent now you're relieved breathtaking heart pounding oh yeah finally you can enjoy the view for about 10 seconds before you land on the ground softly feet first hey looks like fun sign me up on another day as
always instead of taking the stairs you use the elevator now the odds of it falling are 1 in 10 million you're 10 times more likely to be hit by lightning but today you're in that unlucky elevator As you move move down from the fifth floor the pulley system fails a cable snaps and the elevator starts falling quickly you lie down on your back placing one arm around your head to protect it from the impact and the other arm over your face to save it from possible falling objects you spread your legs out evenly in just
a couple of seconds you brace for impact it crashes down and debris from above Falls around you fantastic job you've avoided injury but could it be possible to alter the impact by jumping well let's think this through if you jump too early your impact would be more severe as your speed would increase in The Descent and if you jump too late the velocity of your jump upwards would cause you to bump your head as the elevator would have stopped you need to jump at the precise moment to be effective in velocity and without the ability
to see through steel it would be down to sheer luck so it's better to use the lie down method yeah good luck with that you casually drive to work passing over the same Bridge as any other day today there's more traffic than normal and you're stuck in a jam the bridge starts to Creek unfortunately it's possible for structurally faulty Bridges to collapse under excess weight and there you are as the bridge falls into the river your car floats on top the water is slowly Rising around you as it starts to sink you're trying to remain
calm and take a deep breath you have up to 2 minutes before the car completely sinks you need to act fast and roll down the window as you take off your seat belt you notice the water has risen above the windows you try to roll them down but they're stuck in place from the pressure you've missed your opportunity you're sinking further down and thinking about opening the door H better not this will make your vehicle sink even faster plus it'll be more dangerous to exit the car hits bottom and the water is slowly entering it
you try to open the door but the pressure is so intense that it won't budge you think about the water coming in maybe if you wait it until there's enough water inside it could regulate the pressure allowing the doors to open but with the limited air that would remain and if the do still don't work that's too much of a risk your only choice is to smash the window you can do it easily due to the water pressure and it spills in quickly you take your last deep breath while holding on to the window frame
the car Fs in quickly and the suction suddenly stops you pull yourself through the window and place your feet on the car push upwards and swim to the surface yeah remind me not to carpool with you next you're out hiking in a forest and find the perfect place to view the sunset you take a photo and it looks great but wait which way is it back to Camp it's getting dark and you have no idea how you got here you check your phone it has a map so you'll be fine right well you've taken way
too many nature picks and the battery has run out you can survive up to 3 hours without shelter in harsh weather you can go without water for 3 days and up to 3 weeks without food you need to address your next actions in order of importance so your first task is to build a shelter you lean a large stick onto a tree for the roof support then you build two walls on the sides making a sturdy frame there are plenty of leaves in the forest and you cover the roof with heaps of them for insulation
and protection on the inside you build a nice leafy mattress you enter and wait until morning hoping to have a relaxing sleep well you've slept horribly but there's no time to leave a review on your booking app the next task is finding water you follow a clear decline in the land eventually finding a stream clean water check you continue to walk with the streams flow hoping it leads you to a river you are more likely to find people and signs of civilization along large collections of water hours pass and your belly grumbles you look around
for tasty snacks there are berries and mushrooms but you don't recognize them so it's better not to eat something if you're unsure whether it's poisonous that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends or if you want more just click on these videos and stay on the bright side
