1. Never take out an object you’ve been stabbed with. It’s actually preventing you from a hemorrhage. Let a doctor or other medical person remove it.

2. If you need urgent help in a public place, do not scream for help. People will think someone else will help you. Instead, call out for help to one specific person.
The bystander effect, is a social psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help.

3.If the plane you’re in has to perform a water landing, you should never inflate your life jacket while you’re in the plane, as it will make you stuck on the ceiling. Get off the plane first, then inflate the jacket.



4.If you’re cooking with oil and gas and it catches fire, never try to extinguish it with water. Because of the oil, you’ll instead make the fire bigger. Simply turn off the gas and use something non-flammable to cover the flames. A pot lid, wet cloth or a wool blanket are useful.





5.Stay close to the ground if any building catches fire. Smoke is the first cause of death during a fire & smoke rises. Clearer air for breathing is found close to the ground.



6. If you find yourself in the ocean, for example, and want to surface, your first instinct will be to paddle as fast as you can. It will exhaust you, and eventually cause you to drown. Instead, just float, like in this video.

7.Wherever you go, be it a church, a party, or even a school, make sure you see 3 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.

Why? If something bad happens, it’ll be too late to look for an exit. If you’ve found and memorized them in advance, you’ll be able to move toward one of them almost without thinking.

Nice one.


Lalasticlala come and see this

Educative

8. If a dog is going to attack you in open place then,

do not run, dog can catch you in no time( since it is open place).
do not look into its eyes( animals can sense fear).
do not show your back( showing back is a sign of fear).
grab a stick if possible. Stand straight and be in attack mode. Walk backwards slowly until you are out of attack zone(200 meters is dog’s attack zone).




9. If you notice you are being followed, Raise your head, and go slowly.

People tend to instinctively lower their head and increase their pace when they sense danger. However, you should do just the contrary: confidently raise your chin, and slow down.

Why? 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.



10. Suppose you rammed your car into an electric-pole and live current wires on your car then,

Do not panic. Your car tyres are made up of rubber and will work as an insulator. The metal surface of the car acts as a Faraday cage due to which the electric field inside the car is zero.
Do not step out of the vehicle,if you do so you will complete the circuit between wires and earth and you’ll be fried in no time.
Pick up the floor mats in you car and throw them on the ground where you could reach by jumping
Make sure you cover maximum area with mats
Open car door widely( roof top is preferable) then jump onto the mats which you placed earlier.
Make sure you remove two legs at once( keeping one leg inside may complete circuit).



Or you can just watch this demonstration video here on what to do if you find yourself in such situation.

Very educative!

Lalasticlala, seun, mynd44, we need this type of threads on front page.

I5. If a stranger gets in your car forcefully and orders you to take them somewhere, you can drive straight into a pole or a lamp post. This way you’ll render yourself useless to them because
a) the car is damaged and
b) you've drawn enough attention by crashing the car.
Sure, you'll damage your car but you'll save your life. Ensure your seat belt is on and your car has airbag.



I know I run the risk of sounding like a religious bigot but we are sharing life-saving tips here, and what I'm about to share has proven time and time again to be a major life saver.

16. Memorize at least two popular verses in the Quran, common Islamic greetings and prayers . With the recent upsurge of terrorist attacks at malls, parks and on the road, you might not know when and where this knowledge might be of grave importance. At least, this dude lived to tell his story.
http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38459996


An example of a common Islamic greeting is:
Islamist : As Salaam Alaykum
You : Wa Alaykum Salaam

LastMumu:

how did you post images through links?

Nice one
I love this

Educative

He that keeps me does not slumber. Behold he that keeps Israel does not slumber nor sleep. The Lord is my keeper The Lord is my shade at my right hand. The sun shall not strike me by d day nor moon by night


..
Nevertheless op this piece is great

17. Don't walk on/by the road when you talk, instead stop and finish your phone call before walking.

You will experience Inattention Blindness (you may be looking at an object but you'll fail to register it or process what it is).
The human brain cannot multitask. Walking and talking on a cell phone are two thinking tasks that involve many areas of the brain. Instead of processing both simultaneously, the brain rapidly switches between two cognitive activities.
Cell phone use reduces pedestrian safety. It shuts the world around, makes you blind to danger and is one of the leading causes of death for pedestrians.







18. When involved in an accident and a medical rescue team is on site, don't go about screaming your lungs out "help me! Help me! Yeparipa!"..... Make little or no sound as it is a well known fact that the less injured are usually the most vocal in an accident. The silent ones are most times attended to first as it is assumed they are CRITICALLY injured.

This is nice...especially the collision talk...Physics is sweet with a good teacher.

hmm...precausive measures from a last mumu...should not be toyed with

Nice one, saving this thread for future reference

But I don't think I need to learn any Quran verse because of terrorist, bomb doesn't separate Muslims and non Muslims.

Life-saving tips indeed
