12 facts you need to know to survive in any situation

Whenever people hear about some emergency, it turns out that they definitely would not allow this, and if I allowed, so he knew exactly what to do. One may ask — everyone knows how to pump out drowned, put out fires, ground wires and to distinguish poisonous mushrooms from edible. Apparently, regular reports of drowned, burned and poisoned — the work of the devil, not otherwise.

The website is in any case not questioning your competence in matters of survival, but just in case, we've decided to highlight some useful tips. Who knows, maybe you forgot something?

Frostbite If a person is frozen to death, do not try to stick it in a hot bath!

With colds too rapid heating will cause a sharp inflow of blood to the dilated vessels in the extremities — and outflow from the brain and other vital organs.

And at the first opportunity, show it to your doctor!

Once the poison enters the body, it instantly spreads throughout the body. To suck it is not only pointless, but dangerous: it will damage the skin in the affected area and speed up the spread of venom.

In such cases only emergency medical care.

Dehydration, you Can drink dew!

Take a piece of fabric that absorbs moisture (such as towels or cotton t-shirts) and get her on the grass and non-poisonous plants in the early morning. Then squeeze over some capacity.

Do not forget to boil or filter water before drinking it.

The roads



Put it in the trunk a package of filler for the cat tray.

If the machine gets stuck in mud or snow, sprinkle it under the wheels to improve traction.

An accident witness or party to an accident? No need to shout, "somebody call an ambulance!"

This one will not react.

Specifically: "Hey, you! Blue pants! Call an ambulance!"

If nothing helps, switch to a lower gear (but not at once, but by turns). Then press (or pull) the hand brake — not dramatically, to brought.

Aquaplaning Aquaplaning is the loss of coupling caused by the presence of a water layer between the tire and the road surface.

If the machine glides through the water, not tap the brake. Keep your foot on the gas pedal. Steer in the direction you want as soon as grip is restored.

When you feel under wheels dry asphalt — gently press on the brake.

Drowning

If you want to save a drowning man, do not try to jump into the water to pull him ashore!

It is deadly dangerous, as a drowning man clung to you with a death grip and fell from the top, from which you can drown.

Instead, find some netonomy the subject and take it with you. Stay at a safe distance and drop the subject of drowning.

The crowd was in the middle of a panicked crowd?

Do not be afraid that you will crush; far more people in the crowd die from suffocation!
