Another one of the those oh-well-it-was-a-good-life situations, this one is actually survivable assuming you are out of the blast radius. Of course it goes without saying, but if you have warning, take cover, preferably underground. If you are in an exposed area, hit the ground and cover your head as soon as you see the blast (don’t run!!) as it could take up to 30 seconds for the shockwave to reach you. Speaking of the flash, don’t look at it! It will blind you guaranteed. Once the initial blast has occurred, flee at your own risk. Remember, there will be gridlock and depending on the direction of the wind that radiation is coming for you. If you have a good hiding spot (underground) your best bet could be to wait for a rescue.
Because there will probably be little for you to grab onto you will have to use your forearms to pull yourself up. If you make it out don’t stand up! Crawl to a sturdy area or back to shore.

If you plan on escaping, do it quickly. Your first couple minutes are critical. There may still be people around, but be smart. If there is no chance, you could make your situation worse so it may be a good idea to stay compliant. Observe everything and try to figure out why your were abducted. This will likely help you to determine what your captors plan to do with you. Although most hostages survive, it can take years for rescue to occur. No matter what, don’t lose hope and stay mentally active. Try to constantly reassess the risks/benefits of attempting an escape.
Try to find a low lying spot and squat down. You want to be as low as possible to ground with as little of your body touching as you can get away with. Now cover your ears. If you are really in the middle of a lightning storm, the thunder can rupture your eardrums.

Remember Hansel and Gretel? You want to leave breadcrumbs. Break off branches and leave them on the ground so you can retrace your steps. Get to high ground first to see if you can orient yourself. Next, move downhill until you find a river or other moving body of water. Follow it downstream, they will usually lead you to a town or village. If you can’t find one then keep walking straight and use the sun to orient yourself.

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
