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.




Yeparipa got me...lol

11. If you were bitten by a viper/any venomous snake, do not run(the venom will spread faster). -Take a picture of the snake if possible or remember its features (pattern/head shape).
-Within the first 2 minutes, more than 95% of the venom will still be around the wound.
- Tie your shoelace 3 inches above the wound to slow down the spreading of the venom and loosen the tie for 30 seconds every 10 minutes to avoid necrosis.
-Call for help. When I mean help, I do not mean Lalasticlala.

While waiting, rinse the wound with water (ideally 5‰ potassium permanganate with 2L water if you have a First Aid kit) or any -liquid (ex. urine).

what about sucking the snake poison out?

20. If you are in a foreign country, stay out of political discussions unless you know all of the parties VERY WELL. If pressed for an opinion, then simply state ,truthfully, that you don't know enough to comment. You will stay alive minding your business.

21. There is a little, clever device that can prevent death, headache, bleeding, backpain, neckpain, bone fractures, head trauma, brain damage, organ damage, bruises and emergency hospital admittance.

It’s called a seat belt, use it always.



22. Wait a second or two after the light turns green before hitting the accelerator. There's always that one asshole at the other end that tries to outsmart the red light and they're never going slowly either. angry









Number 22 is very useful because of those Lagos Danfo drivers very reckless drivers they are.

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 becausea) the car is damaged andb) you've drawn enough attention by crashing thecar.Sure, you'll damage your car but you'll save your life. Ensure your seat belt is on and your car has airbag.

Agree with all your points except this. If the stranger is armed with a lethal weapon, DON'T try this. Please don't try to be a hero In Hollywood movies or James Bond. You will be killed if you try to play smart.
Obey all instructions and you might live see another day.

You can only use the above tip if you are SURE the stranger is unharmed.

LastMumu:

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.




Ethiopian airline flight 961 from Addis Ababa to Nairobi was hijacked while in Ethiopian airspace by a group of men who demanded that the plane be flown to Australia. The pilot explained to them that he had only enough fuel to land and will not be able to make the trip. The agitated men insisted. The plane ran out of fuel and crashed off the Comoros Island. Some tourists in the vicinity took pictures as the plane crash-landed into the Indian Ocean. Most of those who died in this crash inflated their lifejackets before the ditching.

Lesson: do not inflate your lifejacket before a crashland into water.

To buttress my point, LastMumu

This is a perfect answer from a Professor of Criminal Justice on Quora and this should apply in all situations.

"Complying with the robber’s demands is usually the best thing to do unless you’re Chuck Norris, and even then you still might be injured ot killed. You don’t know what’s in his mind so it’s best not to aggravate him"

Don't try to play smart!

Just got to see this.

Brother, crashing the car is still the best in this scenario.
If it's another scenario, the advice of that professor can apply, but the stranger must not have even used seat belt, so it's the best as LastMumu says, in this case..

Taking pictures of military personnel? Jesus!!

I witnessed a guy being flogged and asked to frog jump just for taking pictures of soldiers patrolling. His dear smartphone was smashed and stamped with military boots.

I can't even make that mistake even if I'm sleepwalking, no village people can follow my matter up to that extent grin

What if the ground is wet and the hot wires ar in the car?
LastMumu:
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.
