Brother you are so right. It's like , hey it's a tornado let's get in the pick up and go chase it. Then you have 500 vehicles chase a storm all trying to get the best angle to film from. Son what do you want to be when you grow up? Dad I want to be a crazy storm chaser, so I can pee in my pants when I see a tornado and get a rush. Shalom
Playing dead actually works with predators. Let's say for example you are swimming with your best buddy. A shark joins you guys. You knock out your friend with perfectly aimed punch. You swim away while your friend is "playing" dead to shark. Classical win-win situation - a shark will get lunch and you will get your best friends widow. I have tried many times and have always worked like charm.
While attempting to collect on a life insurance policy with very specific clauses a guy once rubbed himself down in fish chum and jumped overboard to simulate an accidental drawning at sea, and being eaten by shark. Sharks took one bump at him and swam off in disgust . The claim was never filed as he returned to shore smelling of fish and disappointment.
@@carloscortes9378 no it's because of your hard bones. Lol taste, yeah because the mindless eating machine of the deep cares about taste when they eat bumper plates and cans.
So if I get attacked by a shark, the best tactic is to play dead and become a ragdoll? Sounds legit. Considering sharks usually go for injured or dead animals to begin with.
EXACTLY what I was just thinking! They eat license plates, for fricks sake. I haven't seen any of those swimming frantically or punching shark noses recently. 🦈 They're high speed living garbage disposals of the sea.
@@icebearhikes luckily sharks aren't very fond of people so a lot of the times they won't attack because they can't even digest you probably. If a sharks chews your leg off he people won't eat and throw it away. Also how can you play dead on the water? Just drown like wt.
@@icebearhikes I'm pretty sure best thing you can do is try to swim back to shore or something. Im pretty sure nobody is ever going to pretend to be dead under a high stress situation like that
Playing dead while your leg is being ripped off require some self control. I think I would rather scream, inhale water, move frantically and drown after a few seconds. Or punch the shark, that would be more badass, but I don't trust myself on this one. I'd probably go for the screaming-dying thing, unless I'm in shallow water 😕
You can know a relative direction to nearest settlement (e.g. if you went for a walk to the south of the settlement, and somehow got lost, then your best bet is probably to go north.
@@noobFPV it is; going north you may remember something or got a road that goes to the settlement. Also you know that it is safe. Going any direction may lead to wild predators.
@@cristofervidre8378 It really is not. Interpreting landmarks you are not familiar with is problematic, as your mind will play tricks on you. While you may think you are following what you think is north, you are probably going off course ( as you are already lost, trusting your ability to navigate will get you killed ). You should seek help, but relaying on skills that got you in trouble in the first place, is not smart.
Another tip: if someone wearing a Halloween costume or a hockey mask with a machete is powerwalking behind you, stop looking back and actually pick up your feet when you run. This will help keep you from tripping over flat surfaces. No promises if you're running through the woods though. Or, and this is the preferable option: shoot them
I live in Vermont, which is a heavily wooded area, and I knew from the first time I heard it that the "Moss grows facing North" thing was nonsense. It's moss. Moss does not care in which direction it grows. Hell, most of the time, the moss carpets the forest floor, so it is just facing up.
I live in Sweden and here moss tends to take over most lawns unless you kill it. I mean we have a lot of rain here and its usually not sunny for more than a week at a time, but moss doesn't seem to care about sun that much - its resilient.
Soo about that "Don't go to sleep" thing... I learned to talk with them about something, like their pet, so one can hear easily when the situation gets worse. As examle if they talk they breathe, one thing less to check. If they stop suddenly, check on them, thats not normal.
there are issues with keeping them awake for longer than necesary the best action would be to ask them for details and relay that to the paramedics when they arrive. Depending on the injury talking could exacerbate it so if they describe an injury like that keep them calm but not talking.
Playing dead is a really bad idea, sharks tend to target defenseless prey to conserve energy so playing dead isn't really a good idea, espically if a shark wanted to attack you it won't give you a warning sign. Punching it's nose isn't much better they only gave that advice in navy seal training because they where strong enough but they recommend you to stand your ground first and show no fear.
that is correct but hitting them in the nose does show you are not going down without a fight it does not need to be hard but hard enough to tell them oi fuck of i aint dying without a fight and anyway sharks hate the taste of human
Screaming underwater creates bubbles that will scare the shark away, flipping a shark over using the dorsal fin will put it in a paralysis of sorts and scratching its eyes could anger if or scare it away depending on the species.
Looking like you're not an easy meal is probably your safest if confrontation is impossible to avoid. Sharks aren't territorial and hate getting hurt while hunting. If it isn't starving, just looking like you're more trouble than you're worth is your safest option.
Actually punching a shark in the nose works because it’s really sensitive. In WWII a pilot named Louis Zamperini was stranded in the ocean along with two others and punched a shark in the nose and it worked.
Sharks don't have hands. So they use their mouths to poke things they're curious about. Most shark 'attacks' are just a curious shark wondering what a person is, and they will usually bite once, & then swim off because people are boring.
only scavengers eat already dead prey, because most other predators assume that a corpse that's been left uneaten out in the wilderness died of a disease or poison and so isn't safe to eat.
then it wouldn't have survived long enough to get to the age where it would be dangerous. It would have eaten something poisonous by the time it was older.
+Cracked But oddly enough, not as good as the band name "Die with some F**king Dignity". I don't even like Metal but i'd think about going to that show.
It’s not the they can collapse the overpass. Due to the nature of the structure, the overpass acts as an air pocket, increasing the speed of the winds in that one area significantly and making it much more likely you’ll be impaled by debris.
There are four reasons a shark will ever attack a human; if it's being territorial, if it's mistaking a human for its natural prey, if it's taste-testing an unfamiliar object, or if it's starving to death. Playing dead won't stop a shark acting on reason number 3.
Keznen staying still will help avoid it noticing you though. It sees you moving and swimming it’ll think you’re running cause you’re it’s natural prey.
Sugar Spice Humans aren’t sharks natural prey. Sure, many larger sharks feed on mammals, for instance the Great White, but humans are too bony. Sharks prefer blubbery animals, as they offer more meat and protein. Often, sharks will either attack because of territory. For instance, if a female great white is giving birth in the area, males are known to defend them. They are also often curious animals. Many shark bites are from test bites, and after the shark realized we’re not the food it was looking for, swim off.
Yeah, was going to say the same thing. Sharks are deconstructions, they're basically big garbage disposals, which is why blood attracts them. If something is dead or dying, they want a piece of it. Playing dead will just let the shark know they have a free meal.
Uh, that Seizure one... Back in like... grade 3 or 4, we had to do presentations on... stuff, i forget, and some kid did it on Seizures, and his presentation included gems like "put something in their mouth so they don't swallow their tongue" and "Restrain them, hold them so they don't move". and as a Grade 4 Year Old, i knew those were bull, my mom was at the time in college to be a PSW, so she went over this stuff with me, for shits and giggles, i suppose. After the kids presentation i brought up that you SHOULDN'T do that, and just got in trouble from the teacher. And that always stuck with me, not because i was right, and the other person was wrong, but because what the other person was passing off as the truth was dangerous, and if at least ONE person believed him, it could result in someone dying because someone thought it was a good idea to put ANYTHING in a seizing persons mouth... I may have only been 10 or so years old, but i knew death was bad.
I've had experience with seizures and the best thing to do is to be calm, call 911 and get them away from the furniture and stairs away from them, also don't go towards the person. And yes, toy ate cutest those things that kids said were VERY incorrect
@Powered by Stupid Then you can enjoy your AIDS or Hepatitis C or whatever blood-borne illness the guy who stabbed you and you stabbed back before reintroducing the now-contaminated blade into your own body had
That is actually very true. Keeping the weapon in prevents you from bleeding out. Also, try to bandage yourself around the weapon to stop any other bleeding. Leave the rest to the professionals.
@@jeremybailey262 I mean It really wouldn't matter I your underwater punches were strong or not, cause you would probably be distracted by half your body inside of a living paper shreder
That bullet removal one. So, so annoying. So, so pervasive. And in the movies, not only does bullet removal get the gunshot victim on the road to recovery... it blitzes them straight to recovery so that by the next scene everyone has forgotten about that bullet wound.
Yeah that and when people instantly die in movies from a gunshot/stab in the stomach. There are no vital organs or major arteries in that area, you can survive for a couple of days. You can even survive for hours after being eviscerated (that’s when you have your entrails hanging out of your body)
@@TreyBattles of course you can die from being shot in the belly area. If your stomach is ruptured, the stomach acid will poison you. Same with the liquid in your pancreas, kidneys, and any other organ in that region that houses liquids. Lets not forget that the bullet can travel to other areas of your body once inside, you could get shot in the belly and it hits your heart. Without medical attention, no way you survive 2 days.
squalltheonly I didn’t say that you wouldn’t die, I just said you wouldn’t die instantaneously. It’s also pretty rare for a bullet to hit your abdomen and then your heart. It’s nothing but soft organs in that area, so bullets usually go right through. Knives or swords are just bullshit in movies, someone is stab and then die minutes later after some long drawn out death speech. That’s just not how it works.
My dad buckled up, then pulled over. When the tornado passed he looked like pasta sauce on a pile of sticks. So, yeah. The order matters. But what if I was already buckled in? We need some slo-mo, crash test dummy science NOW!
Popular survival tips that will get you killed... Play dead. Yeah, don't do that. Unless you're into Vore, in which case play dead. You're dreams are about to come true.
NarnianMudkip i heard 20 or 30 species of em think we as they prey and other is curious about us , and when they curious , they bite , so maybe the best way is never get to any shark teritories unless u want to try all those tricks 0.o
Doorways ARE a good place to stand during an earthquake. But they have to be the European brick load-bearing ones. American doorways are paper wafers attached to sticks with kid's glue
Let’s say you’re standing in a doorway during an earthquake, as soon as the door starts shaking your fingers are gone. Can confirm, my teacher lived in Japan for 11 years and has experienced the 2011 earthquake in Japan.
All those ppl who don't know anything about seizures boggle my mind.. You still mustn't interact with a person who has a seizure. While the attack happens, put away sharp objects like tables or chairs. Take care that the person is not in danger getting on a road. Also call an ambulance WHILE he has a seizure. When the seizure ends its your time to take action. It is simply to dangerous interact with a person who has a seizure.
Stefan Huber you should actually avoid touching a seizure victim as much as possible. The nerve stimulation can worsen/prolong the seizure. Once you make sure the environment is safe for them, stay away unless instructed otherwise by 911.
Epilepsy fail lmao The concern about swallowing our tongues stems from the event of some of us clamping down while we seize and then letting go, in which case there is a small possibility that we'll bite off and choke on a tongue fragment. True, never stick anything in a seizing person's mouth, however, some advice to roll us onto our sides if possible.
As someone who was an EMT for a time diaphibulator paddles are definitely NOT just for those with a still beating erratic heartbeat. And it's frankly irresponsible and dangerous to instruct people against using them in a CPR life or death situation. If you ever find yourself in a cardiac emergency type situation first call or have someone call 911 then proceed with proper CPR protical while someone else retrieves the diaphibulator (assuming you are some place that has one) then follow the instructions included and continue CPR until EMTs fire and or paramedics arrive.
I think I get the point that they were trying to make, that defibrillation is for people who do still have a cardiac rhythm i.e. ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation as opposed to those who are in asystole/flatline with no electrical activity in the heart at all. However, I agree that this was not explained properly at all to the lay people who are the vast, vast majority who are viewing this, and who are most not past the idea of no pulse = no heart rhythm. Patients without a pulse are the only ones who (may) need defibrillation in the field like this, and people should never be discouraged from applying a defibrillator to them if available! Defibrillators available in public places are all automated and will not shock a patient who does not have a rhythm that could benefit from it. So folks, if someone hits the ground and there's an AED around, hook 'em the hell up and do what it tells you!
The longer it passes before a person received first aid the less chance they have of surviving. I think it is one minute-ten percent stuff. But from what I heard, it is illegal in America, people can sue you if you, for an example, break their ribs during crp. Which is stupid because that is a pretty common thing to happen. But when you are doing cpr (heart massages, mouth to mouth breathing) and there is no one to call the ambulance for you, dial the number, hook your phone between your shoulder and ear or put it on speakerphone and set it aside and give cpr while you wait- cpr can go for a long while and sometimes it takes a bit until someone answers your call.
I have heard that, and I believe it to be true. In Canada we have laws that protect people who are genuinely trying to help, even if they break a rib or cause other damage. Because some aid is better than no aid in the vast majority of situations. But ya, like stefan said, call first and if you're able do it while doing CPR. CPR usually won't save somebodies life on its own, they'll need that rescue team, so call first then work on CPR. If you do CPR first, you're just wasting time because no professional is on their way to actual revive the person.
*Better Than The Moss Survival Tip:* _The Sun will always appear over the horizon in East, and sets in the West. Work your way from there, and you'll know what's North and what's South._
THANK YOU FOR THE SEIZURE INFO i have seizures and im tired of waking up from a seizure to strangers trying to stick things like wallets into my mouth; im not kidding thanks again :)
I've been an epileptic for 9 years and when ever someone claims you can bite your tongue off they can go fuck themselves because they know nothing epilepsy. All because you've watched a few bullshit movie doesn't make you a specialist in epilepsy. What the true danger of having a seizure is your brain hitting the floor causing brain damage. If you see someone having a seizure you place the on the side and lift his head up and call 911.
A mu more reliable rule of thumb is that the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. As long as the sun is visible and it's morning or afternoon, you're set.
Except it's only truly accurate if you happen to be lost on one of two specific days of the year, it can vary by quite a large margin (there's a 90 degree difference between June and December!). Better off waiting for Orion's belt to rise (the first star of the belt over the horizon is always within 1 degree of east) though that means waiting until the stars are out when you may as well follow Polaris (from which you can also calculate your latitude so you know how much further north you need to go).
Lord Cottington The best advice is stay where you are. Search parties, i. e. the guys who didn't get lost because of trees, have a much easier time finding a non-moving target. Building a fire, playing loud music (or singing, the more off-key the better), and generally turning your problem into an impromptu camping chill session is a surefire way to get saved. For bonus points, try to get caught skinny dipping when your found.
Lord Cottington Generally sure. But I hope you & everyone else realizes the sun doesn't rise in the true east or set at true west. In fact where it rises on the horizon changes minutely every day. That's related to why we have seasons. Also at some times of the year depending on if you are far enough north or south it won't set or rise at all for months out of the year.
i have a lot of experience with epileptic seizures. please do not put amything in the mouth if a person having a seizure. they will bite it. i have seen a man bite clean through a leather wallet and almost choke to death during a seizure. if you put you fingers in their mouth they will bite you hard enough to break skin if not take a digit off.
Visiting California I was shocked to see my friend dive under keyboard of upright piano when earthquake tremors rumbled. I was lost. Piano was moving any bigger tremors shed be crushed. Me i stood middle of room with mouth hanging open wondering what was going on.
Dudes! Dudes, dudes.. Ya play dead because there's nothing else you can fuckin do. I mean, unless you can swim faster than a fucken shark. So yeah, you play dead. And if the thing chomps you, then you go for the eyes and hope for the best. Generally, I think it mostly depends on the shark at that point. xD
7:44 actually if you found someone dying(assuming you didn't witness the event) it would be in your best interest to make sure he/she stays conscious so that the peramedics can find out what happened
or you know, ask them and relay that to the paramedics. I came across a bicycler who had been nicked by a car and fell on her wrist, shoulder and then a slight bonk on the head. I know because I stopped a bunch of idiots from moving her and asked her. when the medics arrived they said I did what everyone should do when I told them what she said.
7:53 Clarification: defibrillators STOP the heart. They may allow the heart to resume its natural rhythm, but it doesn't just magically take an erratic heartbeat and replace it with a normal one without the flatline.
Thank you for including seizures some caveats if aTonic Clonic (formerly called Grand Mal) seizure has started the jaw is shut sticking hard things in the mouth will break teeth and probably the jaw. Best first aid, roll them on their side, make sure they aren't near anything dangerous, and place a jacket under their head.
you fall at the same speed because you both have the same acceleration, basic physics man. the main hindrance to this is trying to lie down in time before it hits the ground. their point is still valid spread your mass over as much surface area as possible.
Also: the surface area isn't the only thing that affects the damage on impact. Time taken to apply the force matters too. So, while lying flat the bone-crunching force will be applied directly to your skull sitting right on the floor, and if standing, some of that force is spread out over both time and to less vital parts of your body.
Yup, and noone has ever died from massive shock like that of having half their body crushed because all of the force of the fall is concentrated on a single point. If your spread out its only the weight of your head hitting the ground since its a separate point on the body with no weight around it. They actually got that one right. And heck if you're trying to avoid the head damage, lay on your stomach with your arms covering your face to cushion it, but for god sake don't stand up.
some kinda guy those were 2 different & separate bits of advice. One was that punching a sharks nose during an attack works. The 2nd, separate one is playing dead in an animal attack works. He wasn’t saying to play dead in a shark attack. That would never work because sharks can detect the electromagnetic field that everyone’s body generates & they use that to find their prey. So if you did play dead, the shark would know you were faking it.
@@cristofervidre8378 T-pose to assert your dominance, dislocate your jaw to increase mouth size, then use your snake skills to strangle them and eat them whole
From a medical standpoint and education in combat medicine, we try to keep trauma patients awake to prevent them from going unconscious and succumbing to shock. It's also easier to measure their mental status and whether or not it deteriorates if you can keep them with it and talking to you as long as possible. Theres also a lot of extra factors you have to worry about if they do become unconscious like aspiration for example.
Tahv Mason well there is a difference, there are poisonous animals, if you eat it then you will die, venomous animals will kill you only if it bites you or stinged etc. But venomous animals can be eaten
no the video is right, u can suck out venom, * highly not recommended* because it has to get into your blood to do harm, sucking out poison on the other hand, and your both dead now probably.
You have some skin underneath that thing that keeps it attached you your lower jaw. Also, how do they not just pull it out? It's not like it's three feet long and automatically lands in your stomach IF you were to swallow it. Also also, that thing is thick as fuck, basically touching all of your throat so your vagus nerve would be activated which would lead you to gag. So yeah, still bullshit
People say to do that so they don't bite their tongue off... Possible, no arguments on that, but it's still better to put everything around away from them, less dangerous for you and they can't break a bone if they can't hit it.
People may call it that, and I've seen people who fish around the mouth with their fingers for the tongue, but the fact is that the whole tongue (not just the tentacle-y part most people think of as the tongue), the root/base of the tongue, when a person is knocked unconscious, simply relaxes and "falls" back, contacting the back of the pharynx, blocking the air way. The proper thing to do is either to turn the person on their side, making the gravity do the job of removing the tongue, or to tilt their head backwards, changing the geometry of the pharynx, usually opening the air way. In some cases where a person has a "weak chin", it is also suggested that their jaw is protruded, by pushing on the angles of the jaw.
Might not work in really dry places, such as deserts. If you're stuck in the middle of a hot desert, try not to travel during the day as it can get really hot. Also, KEEP ALL YOUR CLOTHING ON. That reduces the amount of sweating you do.
The moss thing isn't that stupid, you just have to be aware, that those are tendencies... also you can see the impact on trees on the weather heavy side.
The reason why people say stay awake is because is a lot harder to help them when their passed out.. I don’t know all the reasons but do not sleep if your shot and or heavily wounded
ToyTube TVT Eh you can just walk in one direction and you'll come across something soon enough. Just be careful to account for your legs not being the same length. If you don't and you walk in a straight line you'll be walking in a giant circle.
I had lightning strike nearby me when I was getting out of a car. It hit a Transformer 70 feet away from me. The sound and boom was noticeable and you involuntarily react to... yet in movies they just stand there like nothing happened. I actually felt the sonic wave hit me and I was mostly in my car and only had one foot on the ground.
I could be wrong but, if someone is having a seizure put them on their side so their head is tilted down so any fluids fucking with their breathing doesn’t suffocate them like the foam in their mouth. This lets all that stuff leak out, clearing their air ways enough for them to breath.
Honestly, I don't think lying flat on the elevator floor would help ease the impact to your body once it comes into contact with the ground. Being vertical might cause debilitating injuries to your legs and spine but will prolly give your head and heart a better chance to not get the full force of the impact. (I'm not a medical expert though)
Elevators don’t fall down they “fall” up when they fail. Most elevators uses 6 metal cords each of which is strong enough to support a full elevator car. All six failing is almost impossible. Elevators us counterweights to bring you back up. Unfortunately if the bakes fail the elevator shoots straight up and will collapse like a soda can. Enjoy
No because due to the relative velocity you will not be able to stay on the ground and also Friction is directly proportional to the surface area and pressure is inversely so chose what you want to increase.
At 2:57, the halfway point between sun and twelve is due SOUTH - unless you are in the "southern hemisphere" (like the equator in January). Test advice before you need it.
dont go to sleep does have a function, its mostly to monitor. cant tell if someone has a concussion, or is about to bleed out, how much time they have left, etc after they passed out, keeping someone awake and (as much as possible) alert does increase their chances at full recovery
Playing dead is even _worse_ . It'll still eat you, no matter what. It gives the predator an advantage so it can eat you easily without struggle. And, note that maybe you can just go into a shelter whenever lightning strikes, and not be out in the open..? Unless, of course, there is no shelter near. I'm writing this while watching, and I thing that why people put cloth or a towel in someone's mouth during a seizure is to keep them from possibly severing their tongue because of their teeth clenching down at such force. Actually, just don't touch them at all, please. It can hurt you and the person having a seizure.
Screaming underwater creates bubbles that will scare the shark away, flipping a shark over using the dorsal fin will put it in a paralysis of sorts and scratching its eyes could anger if or scare it away depending on the species.Great whites are extremely dangerous and it is best to either get somewhere safe or have some way to fight back like something sharp. Also remember they are extremely fast and are used to jumping out of the water to eat seals, so make sure to stand away from any edges after an encounter. If you are already in its grip, go for the eyes, not the nose. Sharks eyes get covered when the attack for protection and getting the eye will scare them and possibly blind and confuse them, giving you time to get away, or covering or clawing at their gills stops them or effects their breathing, whereas punching them in the nose do have an effect but its hardly enough to stun them like other sharks. There was a video I saw about it I will find it :) www.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/videos/how-to-turn-a-shark-into-a-zombie I cant seem to find the great white clip but In the same show he trys to stimulate the nose by punching ina d rubbing it but it does not work.
No you don't put anything in their mouth. You keep them from falling or banging into anything that could hurt them, and ride it out. "Swallowing their tongue" is in reference to when a TBI has rendered a patient unconscious to the point their subconscious is unable to keep their tongue from blocking their throat. For this you would simply do a "head tilt chin lift" or if spinal injury is suspected, a "jaw thrust" is used.
never force body parts in a seizure they will easyly overpower you unless your really muscular if you force the body to do things it will only make it worse best thing is to put a soft object under their head
There were some real safety tips that would've been pretty relevant to add, like during a tornado if you aren't near a shelter, laying flat out in a field is actually pretty much the safest place to be. Also, when someone is having a seizure, lean them over on their side so they don't choke on their spit.
You still mustn't interact with a person who has a seizure. While the attack happens, put away sharp objects like tables or chairs. Take care that the person is not in danger getting on a road. Also call an ambulance WHILE he has a seizure. When the seizure ends its your time to take action. It is simply to dangerous interact with a person who has a seizure.
You can certainly "interact" with them, just don't fight against their spasms or go anywhere near their mouth. If you need to, move them to safety like Stefan said, but otherwise just stick a pillow under their neck if their thrashing their head around a lot and wait for it to ride out. Also, you only really need to call an ambulance if its their first time having a seizure(if thats unknown assume it is), if it last longer than a few minutes, or if they have more than 1 seizure in a short span. Many people live day to day having an occasional seizure and then going back to their normal routine. Oh, and after the seizure, they're going to be really tired so expect that and don't be afraid to let them rest.(unless the seizure was brought on by some sort of brain trauma.... because they should have been in the hospital twenty minutes ago if thats the case)
I went into the local furniture store and starting jumping on tables... yeah I’m not allowed in there anymore especially after being told we don’t have earthquakes here 🤔😔
No one says "open your windows" the say "get to the stormcellar!" I believe these are cellars, separated from the house, that are specifically built to withstand tornadoes.
Check your infos. Yes, tongue can't be really swallowed, BUT what people actually mean by that is that they can unvolontarely turn it backwards in their mouth and block the air passage. And that's why you SHOULD use a spoon to help them, but only if they do suffocate.

One more tip for you: At our public pool, the lifeguards tell everyone to get out of the pool the moment they hear thunder, or something that sounds like thunder - for all they know, it could be someone shaking a tin sheet as a prank. We are then forced to spend the next 30 to 60 minutes wasting time on the pool deck, which has metal beach umbrellas and light towers at each corner, all of which is surrounded by a chain link fence. If lightning actually does strike the pool area, I would submit the most dangerous place is next to all that metal outside the pool. The water should be comparatively safe, effectively a Faraday cage insulating you from the objects the lighning is sure to strike.
For earthquakes, its safer to lie NEXT to a sturdy furniture. If you hide under it, and the building collapes, then you will probably be crushed under the furniture - but if its sturdy enough and you lie next to it then you have a small pocket of space that will be formed next to it and that should hopefully save you. Look into it, its sound advice. Many people have been crushed under beds and tables. Might save your life
Why is this not the top comment.. A video debunking myths and they don't even know that venom needs to enter the blood stream to effect you. Lost all credibility after that point.
CD 2409 If it's saltwater it will kill you quicker. Your body won't be able to filter out all the salt. Also, the other things is what saved him here. At best the pee drinking was a waste of his body's energy, at worst it was forcing his salt levels to stay dangerously high.
as someone who was shot in the abdomen I can tell you that my pain resistance didn't even let me blackout... and being conscious didn't get me to a doctor faster but probably made me move around more in crippling agony... so probably made it worse.
Comfortable Fetus not that it matters, you would never be able to suck the venom out of a bite, blood travels fast through your body, and if you put your mouth even near an open wound, you probably will get an infection, the best thing to do is just call 911
Ivan Lugo Actually pee is really pure, mostly water with excess vitamins and salts, totally safe to drink in emergency situations and can give you extra time to live. It isn't like shit, it gets filtered.
Ya, I commented calling him out for that one. You only have 3 days without water, if you can increase that duration by any amount by drinking your own piss and recycling what you have then fucking do it. Speaking as a mariner trained in offshore survival, good on ya bud.
The issue with the overpass is not that it is likely to collapse. Concrete overpasses rarely collapse. It is the fact that most people don't realize in order to maximize your protection from the wind and debris, you have to crawl all the way up the ramp and wedge yourself under the overpass with your feet pointing in the direction the wind is blowing from. You'll be far safer in this position than you would be if you stayed in your car or just jumped in a ditch.
No. Putting ANYTHING in the mouth of someone having a seizure is very dangerous because it could make them choke. You can ask any doctor, talk to an epilepsy awareness program they will all tell you that you should not put anything in their mouth.
Do. fucking. not. touch a persons mouth during a seizure. You can straight up break or dislocate a persons jaw by doing that, a persons tongue can heal if they bite it and they're very unlikely to bite it clean off or anything crazy like that. And on top of that, where do you get off telling an epileptic how seizure support works? lol.
I've been an epileptic for 9 years and when ever someone claims you can bite your tongue off they can go fuck themselves because they know nothing about epilepsy. All because you've watched a few bullshit movie doesn't make you a specialist in epilepsy. What the true danger of having a seizure is your brain hitting the floor causing brain damage. If you see someone having a seizure you place him/her on the side and lift his head up and call 911.
Or just fly away in an aircraft. Unfortunately for me, I've never been adjacent to an open field, or had access to a flying vehicle during the earthquakes I've lived through.
- "don't sleep" is a very good advice if the issue is cold. - I've been told that asphyxia is one of the ways to die if electrocuted (tongue blocks the airways)
reason for tornado 'overpass sheltering being bad: they don't 'collapse', but the air velocity get multiplied by the air moving in a confined space of the underpass (like spitballs in a straw)
You forgot to add that if you are in the crouching position is that you NEED to put your feet together. If you don't you will be shocked by the Lightning being sent through your heart and back down into the ground. Most shoes are made with some rubber pads on the bottom and they can help you while your heart will NOT be shocked by a lightning bolt.
The lightning one, if you are on an open field the best thing is to lay down. The electricity tends to reach the highest point on the surface, and if you are standing or crouching (like he said) on something like a football camp, you have more chance to be hit. With that i say, depending where you are ground level is the way to go on a storm.
Having grown up in Tornado Alley, I can tell you that everyone there knows what to do: go outside and film the tornado on their phone.
True
lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂 Ah yeah, most important advice for everything: get close to film it properly
Brother you are so right. It's like , hey it's a tornado let's get in the pick up and go chase it. Then you have 500 vehicles chase a storm all trying to get the best angle to film from. Son what do you want to be when you grow up? Dad I want to be a crazy storm chaser, so I can pee in my pants when I see a tornado and get a rush. Shalom
I remember when I was a kid before phones everybody would go outside and shine flashlights at the sky LOL nothing much has changed it seems
Playing dead actually works with predators. Let's say for example you are swimming with your best buddy. A shark joins you guys. You knock out your friend with perfectly aimed punch. You swim away while your friend is "playing" dead to shark.
Classical win-win situation - a shark will get lunch and you will get your best friends widow. I have tried many times and have always worked like charm.
Just how many people have you killed 🤨
NinjaKED12 all of them
Ari Sardar sharks actually don’t like the taste of human flesh that’s why sharks don’t actually keep attacking you after the first bite
While attempting to collect on a life insurance policy with very specific clauses a guy once rubbed himself down in fish chum and jumped overboard to simulate an accidental drawning at sea, and being eaten by shark. Sharks took one bump at him and swam off in disgust . The claim was never filed as he returned to shore smelling of fish and disappointment.
@@carloscortes9378 no it's because of your hard bones.
Lol taste, yeah because the mindless eating machine of the deep cares about taste when they eat bumper plates and cans.
So if I get attacked by a shark, the best tactic is to play dead and become a ragdoll? Sounds legit. Considering sharks usually go for injured or dead animals to begin with.
EXACTLY what I was just thinking! They eat license plates, for fricks sake. I haven't seen any of those swimming frantically or punching shark noses recently. 🦈 They're high speed living garbage disposals of the sea.
@@icebearhikes luckily sharks aren't very fond of people so a lot of the times they won't attack because they can't even digest you probably. If a sharks chews your leg off he people won't eat and throw it away. Also how can you play dead on the water? Just drown like wt.
@@icebearhikes I'm pretty sure best thing you can do is try to swim back to shore or something. Im pretty sure nobody is ever going to pretend to be dead under a high stress situation like that
Playing dead to a shark was a sarcastic comment while going on to the second topic.
Playing dead while your leg is being ripped off require some self control.
I think I would rather scream, inhale water, move frantically and drown after a few seconds. Or punch the shark, that would be more badass, but I don't trust myself on this one. I'd probably go for the screaming-dying thing, unless I'm in shallow water 😕
Fun fact: knowing where north is when you are lost, is useless. North of "I don't know where I am" is "I am totally lost".
You can know a relative direction to nearest settlement (e.g. if you went for a walk to the south of the settlement, and somehow got lost, then your best bet is probably to go north.
@@Derael No, it is not.
@@noobFPV it is
@@noobFPV it is; going north you may remember something or got a road that goes to the settlement. Also you know that it is safe. Going any direction may lead to wild predators.
@@cristofervidre8378 It really is not. Interpreting landmarks you are not familiar with is problematic, as your mind will play tricks on you. While you may think you are following what you think is north, you are probably going off course ( as you are already lost, trusting your ability to navigate will get you killed ). You should seek help, but relaying on skills that got you in trouble in the first place, is not smart.

Another tip: if someone wearing a Halloween costume or a hockey mask with a machete is powerwalking behind you, stop looking back and actually pick up your feet when you run. This will help keep you from tripping over flat surfaces. No promises if you're running through the woods though.
Or, and this is the preferable option: shoot them
I live in Vermont, which is a heavily wooded area, and I knew from the first time I heard it that the "Moss grows facing North" thing was nonsense.
It's moss. Moss does not care in which direction it grows.
Hell, most of the time, the moss carpets the forest floor, so it is just facing up.
I live in Sweden and here moss tends to take over most lawns unless you kill it. I mean we have a lot of rain here and its usually not sunny for more than a week at a time, but moss doesn't seem to care about sun that much - its resilient.
Soo about that "Don't go to sleep" thing... I learned to talk with them about something, like their pet, so one can hear easily when the situation gets worse. As examle if they talk they breathe, one thing less to check. If they stop suddenly, check on them, thats not normal.
Exactly, many misfacts for jokes I guess.
there are issues with keeping them awake for longer than necesary the best action would be to ask them for details and relay that to the paramedics when they arrive. Depending on the injury talking could exacerbate it so if they describe an injury like that keep them calm but not talking.
Playing dead is a really bad idea, sharks tend to target defenseless prey to conserve energy so playing dead isn't really a good idea, espically if a shark wanted to attack you it won't give you a warning sign. Punching it's nose isn't much better they only gave that advice in navy seal training because they where strong enough but they recommend you to stand your ground first and show no fear.
that is correct but hitting them in the nose does show you are not going down without a fight it does not need to be hard but hard enough to tell them oi fuck of i aint dying without a fight and anyway sharks hate the taste of human
Screaming underwater creates bubbles that will scare the shark away, flipping a shark over using the dorsal fin will put it in a paralysis of sorts and scratching its eyes could anger if or scare it away depending on the species.
Looking like you're not an easy meal is probably your safest if confrontation is impossible to avoid. Sharks aren't territorial and hate getting hurt while hunting. If it isn't starving, just looking like you're more trouble than you're worth is your safest option.
Go for the gills like shove your hands in there and rip what you can
Always go for the eyes and gills if possible

Actually punching a shark in the nose works because it’s really sensitive. In WWII a pilot named Louis Zamperini was stranded in the ocean along with two others and punched a shark in the nose and it worked.
@@ninjaked1265 Actually, it doesn't. But I would love to see you try :)
But wait, if I play dead in front of a shark, then won't the shark just eat me anyways?
Sharks prefer injured prey and thrive more off movement than other things.
Pepsi's #1 Communist Fan Yes, yes it will
Sharks don't have hands. So they use their mouths to poke things they're curious about. Most shark 'attacks' are just a curious shark wondering what a person is, and they will usually bite once, & then swim off because people are boring.
only scavengers eat already dead prey, because most other predators assume that a corpse that's been left uneaten out in the wilderness died of a disease or poison and so isn't safe to eat.
then it wouldn't have survived long enough to get to the age where it would be dangerous. It would have eaten something poisonous by the time it was older.
Lightning scars are fucking awesome.
"Lightning Scars" is also a great name for a Heavy Metal band.

It’s not the they can collapse the overpass. Due to the nature of the structure, the overpass acts as an air pocket, increasing the speed of the winds in that one area significantly and making it much more likely you’ll be impaled by debris.
Robin Laurence you should run for the ditch and lay down in it, the wind goes over the ditches
@@ianbonnar1801 Yeah, staying in your car is not a good plan for a tornado. Get in the ditch or any other low area nearby.
That's right.
Where I live trees have moss on all sides so I always knew it was a conspiracy
First time i saw that i instantly knew all my theories where right, the earth must be flat.
Well, it's also not moss you're looking for, it's lichen, completely different.
There are four reasons a shark will ever attack a human; if it's being territorial, if it's mistaking a human for its natural prey, if it's taste-testing an unfamiliar object, or if it's starving to death. Playing dead won't stop a shark acting on reason number 3.
I don't think sharks know what territorial is. the rest is more or less true
Keznen staying still will help avoid it noticing you though. It sees you moving and swimming it’ll think you’re running cause you’re it’s natural prey.
Sugar Spice Humans aren’t sharks natural prey. Sure, many larger sharks feed on mammals, for instance the Great White, but humans are too bony. Sharks prefer blubbery animals, as they offer more meat and protein. Often, sharks will either attack because of territory. For instance, if a female great white is giving birth in the area, males are known to defend them. They are also often curious animals. Many shark bites are from test bites, and after the shark realized we’re not the food it was looking for, swim off.
Yeah, was going to say the same thing. Sharks are deconstructions, they're basically big garbage disposals, which is why blood attracts them. If something is dead or dying, they want a piece of it. Playing dead will just let the shark know they have a free meal.
Sharks eat dead animals though.
Uh, that Seizure one... Back in like... grade 3 or 4, we had to do presentations on... stuff, i forget, and some kid did it on Seizures, and his presentation included gems like "put something in their mouth so they don't swallow their tongue" and "Restrain them, hold them so they don't move". and as a Grade 4 Year Old, i knew those were bull, my mom was at the time in college to be a PSW, so she went over this stuff with me, for shits and giggles, i suppose. After the kids presentation i brought up that you SHOULDN'T do that, and just got in trouble from the teacher.
And that always stuck with me, not because i was right, and the other person was wrong, but because what the other person was passing off as the truth was dangerous, and if at least ONE person believed him, it could result in someone dying because someone thought it was a good idea to put ANYTHING in a seizing persons mouth... I may have only been 10 or so years old, but i knew death was bad.
I've had experience with seizures and the best thing to do is to be calm, call 911 and get them away from the furniture and stairs away from them, also don't go towards the person. And yes, toy ate cutest those things that kids said were VERY incorrect
if you're considering offing yourself, i don't think dumb teachers are your primary problem

How did you survive your death
Sameee
That bullet removal one. So, so annoying. So, so pervasive. And in the movies, not only does bullet removal get the gunshot victim on the road to recovery... it blitzes them straight to recovery so that by the next scene everyone has forgotten about that bullet wound.
Yeah that and when people instantly die in movies from a gunshot/stab in the stomach. There are no vital organs or major arteries in that area, you can survive for a couple of days. You can even survive for hours after being eviscerated (that’s when you have your entrails hanging out of your body)
Not to mention the bullet is always dropped in the same stupid metal pan...
@@TreyBattles of course you can die from being shot in the belly area. If your stomach is ruptured, the stomach acid will poison you. Same with the liquid in your pancreas, kidneys, and any other organ in that region that houses liquids. Lets not forget that the bullet can travel to other areas of your body once inside, you could get shot in the belly and it hits your heart.
Without medical attention, no way you survive 2 days.
squalltheonly I didn’t say that you wouldn’t die, I just said you wouldn’t die instantaneously. It’s also pretty rare for a bullet to hit your abdomen and then your heart. It’s nothing but soft organs in that area, so bullets usually go right through. Knives or swords are just bullshit in movies, someone is stab and then die minutes later after some long drawn out death speech. That’s just not how it works.
squalltheonly I mean, if you have some experience or knowledge that surpasses my own, then I’ll concede. I doubt it though.
So I pull over THEN buckle my seat belt? Ok.
Lmao
My dad buckled up, then pulled over. When the tornado passed he looked like pasta sauce on a pile of sticks. So, yeah. The order matters. But what if I was already buckled in? We need some slo-mo, crash test dummy science NOW!
safety belts are for sissies, fuckem.
get out of the car and show this tornado, who's real natural disaster here.
Pavel Taranov How did that work out for you?

Popular survival tips that will get you killed... Play dead. Yeah, don't do that. Unless you're into Vore, in which case play dead. You're dreams are about to come true.
Blue Dragon yep especially with sharks they dont like a challenge so the easier you make it the more likely they are to kill you.
In the case of sharks, don't you just need to not panic so you don't seem like prey, anyway? Just slowly leave like it's a bad party.
NarnianMudkip i heard 20 or 30 species of em think we as they prey and other is curious about us , and when they curious , they bite , so maybe the best way is never get to any shark teritories unless u want to try all those tricks 0.o
NarnianMudkip Yea, no. Shark will still eat you since sharks can sense your heart beating.
Play dead...with a SHARK...that has no problem eating things that are already dead...

True
All those ppl who don't know anything about seizures boggle my mind..
You still mustn't interact with a person who has a seizure. While the attack happens, put away sharp objects like tables or chairs. Take care that the person is not in danger getting on a road. Also call an ambulance WHILE he has a seizure. When the seizure ends its your time to take action. It is simply to dangerous interact with a person who has a seizure.
you right but a thing you should do is put your hand under their head or something soft so that it does not cause them damage to the brain or spine
Stefan Huber finally someone else who has basic medical knowledge
Flexy Boi you're telling me you've never accidentally smashed you're foot on the corners of tables or chairs?
Stefan Huber you should actually avoid touching a seizure victim as much as possible. The nerve stimulation can worsen/prolong the seizure. Once you make sure the environment is safe for them, stay away unless instructed otherwise by 911.
@Tina Yael Severinovna M. was this meant for Cynthia Price?
On the subject of seizures, you should try to turn them on their side if possible so they do not choke on their vomit.
Epilepsy fail lmao The concern about swallowing our tongues stems from the event of some of us clamping down while we seize and then letting go, in which case there is a small possibility that we'll bite off and choke on a tongue fragment. True, never stick anything in a seizing person's mouth, however, some advice to roll us onto our sides if possible.
As someone who was an EMT for a time diaphibulator paddles are definitely NOT just for those with a still beating erratic heartbeat. And it's frankly irresponsible and dangerous to instruct people against using them in a CPR life or death situation. If you ever find yourself in a cardiac emergency type situation first call or have someone call 911 then proceed with proper CPR protical while someone else retrieves the diaphibulator (assuming you are some place that has one) then follow the instructions included and continue CPR until EMTs fire and or paramedics arrive.
I think I get the point that they were trying to make, that defibrillation is for people who do still have a cardiac rhythm i.e. ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation as opposed to those who are in asystole/flatline with no electrical activity in the heart at all. However, I agree that this was not explained properly at all to the lay people who are the vast, vast majority who are viewing this, and who are most not past the idea of no pulse = no heart rhythm. Patients without a pulse are the only ones who (may) need defibrillation in the field like this, and people should never be discouraged from applying a defibrillator to them if available! Defibrillators available in public places are all automated and will not shock a patient who does not have a rhythm that could benefit from it. So folks, if someone hits the ground and there's an AED around, hook 'em the hell up and do what it tells you!
Wait isn't it cpr first and then ask someone to call 911 or call yourself? Earlier you start cpr the higher changes of survival right?
The longer it passes before a person received first aid the less chance they have of surviving. I think it is one minute-ten percent stuff. But from what I heard, it is illegal in America, people can sue you if you, for an example, break their ribs during crp. Which is stupid because that is a pretty common thing to happen. But when you are doing cpr (heart massages, mouth to mouth breathing) and there is no one to call the ambulance for you, dial the number, hook your phone between your shoulder and ear or put it on speakerphone and set it aside and give cpr while you wait- cpr can go for a long while and sometimes it takes a bit until someone answers your call.
I have heard that, and I believe it to be true. In Canada we have laws that protect people who are genuinely trying to help, even if they break a rib or cause other damage. Because some aid is better than no aid in the vast majority of situations.
But ya, like stefan said, call first and if you're able do it while doing CPR. CPR usually won't save somebodies life on its own, they'll need that rescue team, so call first then work on CPR. If you do CPR first, you're just wasting time because no professional is on their way to actual revive the person.
Is there no written test for EMTs?

THANK YOU FOR THE SEIZURE INFO i have seizures and im tired of waking up from a seizure to strangers trying to stick things like wallets into my mouth; im not kidding thanks again :)
Next time bite the wallet and keep it
Actually if you don't want to lose your tongue you better like wallets being stuffed to your mouth.
Jude's Crafted Mind , I have epilepsy too. I almost bit a guy's fingers off, because he was trying to stop my jaw from closing.
Samantha Peters He was trying to stop you from biting your tongue off.
I've been an epileptic for 9 years and when ever someone claims you can bite your tongue off they can go fuck themselves because they know nothing epilepsy.

If you see someone having a seizure you place the on the side and lift his head up and call 911.
A mu more reliable rule of thumb is that the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. As long as the sun is visible and it's morning or afternoon, you're set.
Except it's only truly accurate if you happen to be lost on one of two specific days of the year, it can vary by quite a large margin (there's a 90 degree difference between June and December!). Better off waiting for Orion's belt to rise (the first star of the belt over the horizon is always within 1 degree of east) though that means waiting until the stars are out when you may as well follow Polaris (from which you can also calculate your latitude so you know how much further north you need to go).
Lord Cottington
The best advice is stay where you are. Search parties, i. e. the guys who didn't get lost because of trees, have a much easier time finding a non-moving target. Building a fire, playing loud music (or singing, the more off-key the better), and generally turning your problem into an impromptu camping chill session is a surefire way to get saved. For bonus points, try to get caught skinny dipping when your found.
Lord Cottington Generally sure. But I hope you & everyone else realizes the sun doesn't rise in the true east or set at true west. In fact where it rises on the horizon changes minutely every day. That's related to why we have seasons. Also at some times of the year depending on if you are far enough north or south it won't set or rise at all for months out of the year.
Actually, the best is using a whistle.
**Blows whistle for dayyss**
*stares at sun* Oh great now I'm lost and blind!
i have a lot of experience with epileptic seizures. please do not put amything in the mouth if a person having a seizure. they will bite it.
i have seen a man bite clean through a leather wallet and almost choke to death during a seizure.
if you put you fingers in their mouth they will bite you hard enough to break skin if not take a digit off.
Visiting California I was shocked to see my friend dive under keyboard of upright piano when earthquake tremors rumbled. I was lost. Piano was moving any bigger tremors shed be crushed. Me i stood middle of room with mouth hanging open wondering what was going on.

playing dead with a shark makes you look like an easy meal, bad bad very bad advise
Chef Boyardee If you ser a shark nearby you are better off playing Dead than swimming with all vivacity.
Dudes! Dudes, dudes.. Ya play dead because there's nothing else you can fuckin do. I mean, unless you can swim faster than a fucken shark. So yeah, you play dead. And if the thing chomps you, then you go for the eyes and hope for the best. Generally, I think it mostly depends on the shark at that point. xD
"keep your pulse low while walking to the ER" Em, how? When Im walking to the ER for ANY reason my pulse is gonna be as high as it can.
And most likely an ER will be close by...
7:44 actually if you found someone dying(assuming you didn't witness the event) it would be in your best interest to make sure he/she stays conscious so that the peramedics can find out what happened
or you know, ask them and relay that to the paramedics. I came across a bicycler who had been nicked by a car and fell on her wrist, shoulder and then a slight bonk on the head. I know because I stopped a bunch of idiots from moving her and asked her. when the medics arrived they said I did what everyone should do when I told them what she said.
7:53
Clarification: defibrillators STOP the heart. They may allow the heart to resume its natural rhythm, but it doesn't just magically take an erratic heartbeat and replace it with a normal one without the flatline.
Thank you for including seizures some caveats if aTonic Clonic (formerly called Grand Mal) seizure has started the jaw is shut sticking hard things in the mouth will break teeth and probably the jaw. Best first aid, roll them on their side, make sure they aren't near anything dangerous, and place a jacket under their head.
Have fun lying down in a plummeting elevator. the weightlessness of freefall won't get in the way one bit.
hahaha i don't think they even realized that point,,, good one
you fall at the same speed because you both have the same acceleration, basic physics man. the main hindrance to this is trying to lie down in time before it hits the ground. their point is still valid spread your mass over as much surface area as possible.
The elevator will be braked somewhat by cables unwinding, hitting the walls, etc.
Also: the surface area isn't the only thing that affects the damage on impact. Time taken to apply the force matters too. So, while lying flat the bone-crunching force will be applied directly to your skull sitting right on the floor, and if standing, some of that force is spread out over both time and to less vital parts of your body.
Yup, and noone has ever died from massive shock like that of having half their body crushed because all of the force of the fall is concentrated on a single point.
If your spread out its only the weight of your head hitting the ground since its a separate point on the body with no weight around it. They actually got that one right. And heck if you're trying to avoid the head damage, lay on your stomach with your arms covering your face to cushion it, but for god sake don't stand up.
Cracked fail. You debunked several survival tips but reinforced several other incorrect survival tips

In the northern hemisphere the wristwatch trick gives you due South! FFS.
some kinda guy those were 2 different & separate bits of advice. One was that punching a sharks nose during an attack works. The 2nd, separate one is playing dead in an animal attack works. He wasn’t saying to play dead in a shark attack. That would never work because sharks can detect the electromagnetic field that everyone’s body generates & they use that to find their prey. So if you did play dead, the shark would know you were faking it.
@some kinda guy against a large alpha predator like white shark, White Bear or pack of wolf there is only one advice: goodnight!
@@cristofervidre8378 T-pose to assert your dominance, dislocate your jaw to increase mouth size, then use your snake skills to strangle them and eat them whole
From a medical standpoint and education in combat medicine, we try to keep trauma patients awake to prevent them from going unconscious and succumbing to shock. It's also easier to measure their mental status and whether or not it deteriorates if you can keep them with it and talking to you as long as possible. Theres also a lot of extra factors you have to worry about if they do become unconscious like aspiration for example.

Venom, not poison
Casey P venom is poison but it was a great try !!!
Tahv Mason well there is a difference, there are poisonous animals, if you eat it then you will die, venomous animals will kill you only if it bites you or stinged etc. But venomous animals can be eaten
You can drink venom (as long as you don't have any internal wounds) and it won't affect you
no the video is right, u can suck out venom, * highly not recommended* because it has to get into your blood to do harm, sucking out poison on the other hand, and your both dead now probably.
How's that?
@8:45 Swallowing your tongue is definitely possible. People die every year swallowing their tongue playing football (soccer).
You have some skin underneath that thing that keeps it attached you your lower jaw. Also, how do they not just pull it out? It's not like it's three feet long and automatically lands in your stomach IF you were to swallow it.
Also also, that thing is thick as fuck, basically touching all of your throat so your vagus nerve would be activated which would lead you to gag.
So yeah, still bullshit
Aqua Li it’s a term for your airways getting blocked :)
People say to do that so they don't bite their tongue off...
Possible, no arguments on that, but it's still better to put everything around away from them, less dangerous for you and they can't break a bone if they can't hit it.
People may call it that, and I've seen people who fish around the mouth with their fingers for the tongue, but the fact is that the whole tongue (not just the tentacle-y part most people think of as the tongue), the root/base of the tongue, when a person is knocked unconscious, simply relaxes and "falls" back, contacting the back of the pharynx, blocking the air way. The proper thing to do is either to turn the person on their side, making the gravity do the job of removing the tongue, or to tilt their head backwards, changing the geometry of the pharynx, usually opening the air way. In some cases where a person has a "weak chin", it is also suggested that their jaw is protruded, by pushing on the angles of the jaw.
When someone is having a seizure you lay them on their side.

America really does build shitty houses. Under the door is the way to go in case you can't go to stay at a staircase

snakes have venom not poison. so consuming it wouldn't harm you. that's the difference between poison and venom
Robb Wallace if you bite it and it kills you, it's poisonous. if it bites you and you die, it's venomous
What if I bite it and it comes back to life?
Then you're into BDSM.
Robb Wallace that's incorrect.
Yeah but nearly everyone will have some sort of wound in the mouth like a cut in your cheeks or gums
For the last one, create condensation in a bucket or something. That will create drinkable water.
From the air ? A few drops a day maybe ...
Won't work in a desert: the whole point of a desert (in most cases) is that it's really freaking dry.
Condensation won't give enough to live.
It's a good thing I remembered my lucky bucket before I got lost in the desert.
Might not work in really dry places, such as deserts. If you're stuck in the middle of a hot desert, try not to travel during the day as it can get really hot. Also, KEEP ALL YOUR CLOTHING ON. That reduces the amount of sweating you do.
Youri Khan you purify the sea water by using condensation
The moss thing isn't that stupid, you just have to be aware, that those are tendencies... also you can see the impact on trees on the weather heavy side.
only hope you have with a shark is to hop on its back. and hold on til that bronco is busted. now you have a pet shark.
The reason why people say stay awake is because is a lot harder to help them when their passed out.. I don’t know all the reasons but do not sleep if your shot and or heavily wounded
I wear a digital watch.😐 but I'm pretty sure that knowing which direction I'm heading in while lost, is the least of my worries!🐢

Eh you can just walk in one direction and you'll come across something soon enough. Just be careful to account for your legs not being the same length. If you don't and you walk in a straight line you'll be walking in a giant circle.
Theres moss on the other side of this thang!
Saw that coming.
Also, don't fucking pee on jellyfish stings. It does nothing good, it's awkward for both parties, and it's plain gross. (tip courtesy of Hank Green)
I had lightning strike nearby me when I was getting out of a car. It hit a Transformer 70 feet away from me. The sound and boom was noticeable and you involuntarily react to... yet in movies they just stand there like nothing happened. I actually felt the sonic wave hit me and I was mostly in my car and only had one foot on the ground.
I could be wrong but, if someone is having a seizure put them on their side so their head is tilted down so any fluids fucking with their breathing doesn’t suffocate them like the foam in their mouth. This lets all that stuff leak out, clearing their air ways enough for them to breath.
Honestly, I don't think lying flat on the elevator floor would help ease the impact to your body once it comes into contact with the ground. Being vertical might cause debilitating injuries to your legs and spine but will prolly give your head and heart a better chance to not get the full force of the impact. (I'm not a medical expert though)
Curious Private yeah but put your hands on the back of your head
Elevators don’t fall down they “fall” up when they fail. Most elevators uses 6 metal cords each of which is strong enough to support a full elevator car. All six failing is almost impossible. Elevators us counterweights to bring you back up. Unfortunately if the bakes fail the elevator shoots straight up and will collapse like a soda can. Enjoy
I did not know this. Thank you.
No because due to the relative velocity you will not be able to stay on the ground and also Friction is directly proportional to the surface area and pressure is inversely so chose what you want to increase.
I agree, if you fall down you should land on your feet and maybe your hands too, not flat on your face
At 2:57, the halfway point between sun and twelve is due SOUTH - unless you are in the "southern hemisphere" (like the equator in January).
Test advice before you need it.
if these will get me killed I'm doing all of them

G'bye.
Grunge Gopher 67+ And all it took was a Cracked vid? Bruh.. xD
Staying alive just became so much easier, thanks Cracked 👍
dont go to sleep does have a function, its mostly to monitor. cant tell if someone has a concussion, or is about to bleed out, how much time they have left, etc after they passed out, keeping someone awake and (as much as possible) alert does increase their chances at full recovery
You seem to be confusing venom and poison Cracked writers.
Playing dead is even _worse_ . It'll still eat you, no matter what. It gives the predator an advantage so it can eat you easily without struggle. And, note that maybe you can just go into a shelter whenever lightning strikes, and not be out in the open..? Unless, of course, there is no shelter near. I'm writing this while watching, and I thing that why people put cloth or a towel in someone's mouth during a seizure is to keep them from possibly severing their tongue because of their teeth clenching down at such force. Actually, just don't touch them at all, please. It can hurt you and the person having a seizure.
Thrashing around and swimming erratically would be more likely to get the sharks attention
Screaming underwater creates bubbles that will scare the shark away, flipping a shark over using the dorsal fin will put it in a paralysis of sorts and scratching its eyes could anger if or scare it away depending on the species.Great whites are extremely dangerous and it is best to either get somewhere safe or have some way to fight back like something sharp. Also remember they are extremely fast and are used to jumping out of the water to eat seals, so make sure to stand away from any edges after an encounter. If you are already in its grip, go for the eyes, not the nose. Sharks eyes get covered when the attack for protection and getting the eye will scare them and possibly blind and confuse them, giving you time to get away, or covering or clawing at their gills stops them or effects their breathing, whereas punching them in the nose do have an effect but its hardly enough to stun them like other sharks. There was a video I saw about it I will find it :)
www.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/videos/how-to-turn-a-shark-into-a-zombie
I cant seem to find the great white clip but In the same show he trys to stimulate the nose by punching ina d rubbing it but it does not work.
Yeh I'd challenge this idiot to try playing dead with an Australian crocodile
No you don't put anything in their mouth. You keep them from falling or banging into anything that could hurt them, and ride it out.
"Swallowing their tongue" is in reference to when a TBI has rendered a patient unconscious to the point their subconscious is unable to keep their tongue from blocking their throat. For this you would simply do a "head tilt chin lift" or if spinal injury is suspected, a "jaw thrust" is used.
never force body parts in a seizure they will easyly overpower you unless your really muscular if you force the body to do things it will only make it worse best thing is to put a soft object under their head
DocFeelGood4 doing either of your choices would also probably result in a broken jaw or neck injury
Moss will only grow on the north side of rocks in a wide open field with no shadows
There were some real safety tips that would've been pretty relevant to add, like during a tornado if you aren't near a shelter, laying flat out in a field is actually pretty much the safest place to be. Also, when someone is having a seizure, lean them over on their side so they don't choke on their spit.
I thought putting something in a seizure victim's mouth was to prevent them from biting their tongue off, not to keep them from swallowing it.
You still mustn't interact with a person who has a seizure. While the attack happens, put away sharp objects like tables or chairs. Take care that the person is not in danger getting on a road. Also call an ambulance WHILE he has a seizure. When the seizure ends its your time to take action. It is simply to dangerous interact with a person who has a seizure.
You can certainly "interact" with them, just don't fight against their spasms or go anywhere near their mouth. If you need to, move them to safety like Stefan said, but otherwise just stick a pillow under their neck if their thrashing their head around a lot and wait for it to ride out. Also, you only really need to call an ambulance if its their first time having a seizure(if thats unknown assume it is), if it last longer than a few minutes, or if they have more than 1 seizure in a short span. Many people live day to day having an occasional seizure and then going back to their normal routine.
Oh, and after the seizure, they're going to be really tired so expect that and don't be afraid to let them rest.(unless the seizure was brought on by some sort of brain trauma.... because they should have been in the hospital twenty minutes ago if thats the case)
SCREAMEDDDDD when you showed Bill Cosby 💀😩😂🤣😭 NOOOO!
“I’m having a seizure! Put a wallet in my mouth!”
And put the contents in my pocket, too :D
I went into the local furniture store and starting jumping on tables... yeah I’m not allowed in there anymore especially after being told we don’t have earthquakes here 🤔😔
No one says "open your windows" the say "get to the stormcellar!" I believe these are cellars, separated from the house, that are specifically built to withstand tornadoes.
Check your infos. Yes, tongue can't be really swallowed, BUT what people actually mean by that is that they can unvolontarely turn it backwards in their mouth and block the air passage. And that's why you SHOULD use a spoon to help them, but only if they do suffocate.

So you're saying that Slavs are lightning proof?
One more tip for you:
At our public pool, the lifeguards tell everyone to get out of the pool the moment they hear thunder, or something that sounds like thunder - for all they know, it could be someone shaking a tin sheet as a prank. We are then forced to spend the next 30 to 60 minutes wasting time on the pool deck, which has metal beach umbrellas and light towers at each corner, all of which is surrounded by a chain link fence. If lightning actually does strike the pool area, I would submit the most dangerous place is next to all that metal outside the pool. The water should be comparatively safe, effectively a Faraday cage insulating you from the objects the lighning is sure to strike.
For earthquakes, its safer to lie NEXT to a sturdy furniture. If you hide under it, and the building collapes, then you will probably be crushed under the furniture - but if its sturdy enough and you lie next to it then you have a small pocket of space that will be formed next to it and that should hopefully save you.
Look into it, its sound advice. Many people have been crushed under beds and tables. Might save your life
Coke head? Yes.
Shame filled? No.
Aggressive Banana get help
VENOM not POISON...
Why is this not the top comment.. A video debunking myths and they don't even know that venom needs to enter the blood stream to effect you. Lost all credibility after that point.
Lol about the last one, except that mexican dude did survive for 440 something days in his boat by drinking his own pee as well as other things.
Maybe he could have survived with some fucking dignity.
The Hungry Orphan if you're at sea drink the water
CD 2409
If it's saltwater it will kill you quicker. Your body won't be able to filter out all the salt.
Also, the other things is what saved him here. At best the pee drinking was a waste of his body's energy, at worst it was forcing his salt levels to stay dangerously high.
HertzyandEunice chicken soup has a higher sodium content than your average litre of sea water
try only drinking chicken soup or sea water, see how long you last
as someone who was shot in the abdomen I can tell you that my pain resistance didn't even let me blackout... and being conscious didn't get me to a doctor faster but probably made me move around more in crippling agony... so probably made it worse.
The earthquake advice I heard was go down stairs as low as you can go, preferably the basement, or failing that go into a bathroom with no windows.
You can totally choke on your own tounge, thats why we position uncounscious people on their sides. basic first aid dude.
Your friend wont ooison themselves sucking out venom
That's the whole point of the distinction
You're not smart
Comfortable Fetus not that it matters, you would never be able to suck the venom out of a bite, blood travels fast through your body, and if you put your mouth even near an open wound, you probably will get an infection, the best thing to do is just call 911
Drinking my own urine saved both me and my son's life when my truck broke down in Arizona.
The Tremendous yes sir
That was a long 45 minutes wasn't it
Yeah this video does more harm than good.
Ivan Lugo Actually pee is really pure, mostly water with excess vitamins and salts, totally safe to drink in emergency situations and can give you extra time to live. It isn't like shit, it gets filtered.
Ya, I commented calling him out for that one. You only have 3 days without water, if you can increase that duration by any amount by drinking your own piss and recycling what you have then fucking do it.
Speaking as a mariner trained in offshore survival, good on ya bud.
The issue with the overpass is not that it is likely to collapse. Concrete overpasses rarely collapse. It is the fact that most people don't realize in order to maximize your protection from the wind and debris, you have to crawl all the way up the ramp and wedge yourself under the overpass with your feet pointing in the direction the wind is blowing from. You'll be far safer in this position than you would be if you stayed in your car or just jumped in a ditch.
"Easy peasy, Harry f*cked a Weasly". Wtf. I died.
last time I was this early...
America still had a hope of surving the next presidential term D:
As an epileptic thank you for the seizure fact.
belfasterd the Wallet in the mouth is meant to stop the person from biting off their own tongue, and is actually an important thing to do
No. Putting ANYTHING in the mouth of someone having a seizure is very dangerous because it could make them choke. You can ask any doctor, talk to an epilepsy awareness program they will all tell you that you should not put anything in their mouth.
Do. fucking. not. touch a persons mouth during a seizure. You can straight up break or dislocate a persons jaw by doing that, a persons tongue can heal if they bite it and they're very unlikely to bite it clean off or anything crazy like that.
And on top of that, where do you get off telling an epileptic how seizure support works? lol.
I've been an epileptic for 9 years and when ever someone claims you can bite your tongue off they can go fuck themselves because they know nothing about epilepsy. All because you've watched a few bullshit movie doesn't make you a specialist in epilepsy. What the true danger of having a seizure is your brain hitting the floor causing brain damage. If you see someone having a seizure you place him/her on the side and lift his head up and call 911.
You can just go into an open field in a earthquake nothing will fall on you
Or just fly away in an aircraft. Unfortunately for me, I've never been adjacent to an open field, or had access to a flying vehicle during the earthquakes I've lived through.
- "don't sleep" is a very good advice if the issue is cold.
- I've been told that asphyxia is one of the ways to die if electrocuted (tongue blocks the airways)
I’ve been laughing my ass off throughout this whole video
reason for tornado 'overpass sheltering being bad: they don't 'collapse', but the air velocity get multiplied by the air moving in a confined space of the underpass (like spitballs in a straw)
You forgot to add that if you are in the crouching position is that you NEED to put your feet together. If you don't you will be shocked by the Lightning being sent through your heart and back down into the ground. Most shoes are made with some rubber pads on the bottom and they can help you while your heart will NOT be shocked by a lightning bolt.
9:14 That quote just earned you a new subscriber
The lightning one, if you are on an open field the best thing is to lay down. The electricity tends to reach the highest point on the surface, and if you are standing or crouching (like he said) on something like a football camp, you have more chance to be hit. With that i say, depending where you are ground level is the way to go on a storm.
