15 Simple Hacks That Can Save Your Life One Day
#11. When caught in a fire, stay close to the ground as possible.
With any fire comes dangerous carbon monoxide fumes that cause more deaths compared to burning. Avoid inhaling the poisonous smoke by crawling as low as possible until you are far away from danger.
#12. If you become ill in a public place, ask only one person for help.
If you get into an accident or suddenly feel unwell in public, ask for assistance from one person instead of from a crowd of people. This is because of a well-documented psychological phenomenon called “diffusion of responsibility,” where there will be more chances of receiving help from a single person instead of a crowd of people who will assume that the other persons will render assistance instead.
#13. Carry a powerful flashlight with you at all times.
A flashlight is a very effective weapon, personal safety experts say. If you fear you are being stalked and are in danger of an ambush from a suspicious person, simply shine your flashlight into their face to disorient them so you can make your escape. Plus, a flashlight is so useful during a power outage. Just don’t forget to change your batteries regularly.
#14. Memorize safety measures in case of fire.
During fire emergencies, most people would freeze and not know how to save themselves. Survival specialists recommend memorizing emergency exits in any building you enter and knowing what to do in case a fire breaks out.
#15. Always have identification documents and medical information on your person.
In case of a fire, flood, earthquake, or other natural disasters, having your IDs and medical information (like blood type, allergic reactions, etc.) on your person will help other people be able to assist you faster.
