Do not try to outrun it! The avalanche is faster than you by a long shot, even on your skis. You stand a much better chance if you try to move horizontally away from it. If this is not possible then close your mouth and put your hand and arms in front of your face to create an air pocket. You’ll need it when it when the snow falls. Also, make sure you don’t scream because it will waste your oxygen. Lastly, try urinating, seriously. It will make it easier for search dogs to find you.
Stay on your feet. Period. This is the key to survival. As soon as you get knocked down your chances decrease significantly. If this is the case, however, and you can’t get up immediately, assume a protective posture with your feet tucked up and your hands covering your head. Try to position your face in the direction the crowd is moving so you don’t get kicked and try to get back on your feet ASAP.
Go for the nose. If you can’t get to the nose then kick and kick hard. The dog is almost certainly faster than you so your best bet is to fight it out.

Whatever you do, don’t struggle against it. As you can seen in the diagram most riptides lose strength eventually. As soon as you get to that point swim parallel to shore until you get away from the riptide zone (most often its only a few feet wide anyway)
Try not to steer to much. You want to ease the car onto the shoulder as carefully as possible. This is why its best to drive with two hands on the wheel and stay alert. The worst thing that can happen is to be taken by surprise and then jerk the wheel.

pff Nuclear explosion İ got a quick solution for that go in a country that has nothing to do whit Korea…. trust me it will work
What about a vampire trying 2 eat you..that could happen and here are some tips for that Grab some sharp wood and stab the dang vampire ….IN YO FACE
A lot of these are NOT good to listen to. NEVER attempt to escape from a hostage situation. The first few moments when they say you should try are always the MOST DANGEROUS! And don’t even get me started on the zombie apocalypse one…
In situation number five, “attacked in an elevator” they left out the most important part of why you want to be by the control panel… press as many floor buttons as possible so that the elevator will stop and the doors will open! You have a better chance of escaping as well as potential for witnesses/help… also, hit the fire alarm button! People are more interested in saving their own butts rather than get involved in an assualt situation!!!
Good survival tips. I really, really, really hope I never have to used any of them.
At falls over 5,000 feet it is better to hit concrete than water. Water absorbs all the shock directly as you hit the surface, you will bounce off of concrete, having a shorter moment of force
this is false. Mythbusters proved that hitting concrete is 27x worse than hitting watter from any high or distance.
you dont know shit kev. just cuz mythbusters said it’s busted doesnt mean they’re right. my friend committed suicide off a bridge and hit the concrete just before the water. his head hit tthe curb and the video showed him bouncing 6 times before laying to rest. he fell for 70 feet. 1st bounce he was up 15 fucking feet. damn you
um….that was a little rude Ray. We are all entitled to our opinions. I’m not saying you are wrong, but i’m not saying you are right either.
I may be wrong, but if you’re close enough to see a nuclear explosion, covering your head and hitting the floor will do absolutely nothing.
lol Just get under your desks, kids! Desks generate magical force fields that will protect you, we promise.
hahaha ok then
The best way to survive is don’t be near the place it came from, lol
