Against all odds

Would you survive?
  • You are driving your car along a road by a river. Suddenly your brakes fail on a bend and you can’t stop your car going into the water. What would you do?
ANSWER As soon as you hit the water, open the window. This allows water to come in and equalize the pressure so that you can open the door. If you can’t open the window or break it, wait until the water reaches your head and hold your breath. When the pressure is equal inside and outside the car you’ll be able to open the door. Would you survive?
  • You are skiing on your own “ off piste” when you suddenly hear a very loud noise behind you. It’s an avalanche! What would you do?
Answer You only hope is to try to stay on top of the snow by using a swimming action. Avalanches tend to occur in areas with new snow on sunny afternoons. Would you survive?
  • You are camping in a forest, and decide to go for a walk. Suddenly, you come face to face with a black bear. It looks ready to attack you! What would you do?
Answer
  • Lie still and quit. An attack by a mother bear often ends when the person stops fighting . Don’t run or climb a tree as a bear can run much faster than you, and is an expert at climbing trees. If you lie still and the bear still attacks you, try to scare it away by hitting it with anything you can find. Try to aim for the eyes or nose if possible.
Would you survive?
  • You are in a city street and suddenly shooting starts between two rival gangs. What would you do?
Answer
  • Get down on the ground and stay there. Lie flat on your stomach. If there are cars, lie down behind one of the wheels. If there are no cars, lie in the road right next to the pavement. Don’t run away because that will only draw attention to you and could be shot by mistake.
