What's that Lassie? Timmy fell down a well!?

Holy smoke

I just tried and it works. Police said they are fine. Or fining me. On of these.

It might be moving directly away from you, but better not take the 50/50 chances.

Unless you have outstanding warrants for your arrest 😂 in which case you can a) pull over and be arrested or b) drive it like you stole it and escape 😀

mental note: stop biting my nails...just in case...

For any given value of "simply".

If you smell gas and electrical devices are *on* do not turn them off - the same logic applies. The current is already flowing and there are no additional sparks to worry about.

One can only hope.

Except parrots

Never leave you drink unintended...ever!

my godchild had Retinoblastoma and had his right eye removed with just a few months old. The Doctors first didn't believed that there's something wrong with him, just a little crossed eyed, but after the diagnosis and looking at pictures of that time, you could see the Retina not reflecting red with the flash light on, but a white milky appearance. So when you feel like there's something wrong with your child, I can advice to take a few pictures with the flash on and take a closer look. My godchild lost his eye, but the fast diagnosis saved his other eye and could be treated with radiation. he is living a happy life :-)

And then you will be a popsicle for the bear...how nice of you!!

Note: Apply pressure AROUND the wound -- ideally, above and below it. Do not apply pressure to the knife.

If I ever saw square waves in the ocean I would wonder who the hell dosed me with acid.

Unless you wandered into her territory (aka there may be cubs around), don't back up at all. Yell. Be loud. Put your arms up to appear larger than you are. If you're at home, grab a pot and a spoon or anything loud and bang them together. Absolutely positively, do not run. (Source: I used to live near mountain lion country, and sometimes they'd wander down the mountain and into yards in the winter.)

Show 'em who's boss

I worked as a technician at a bowling alley, I can confirm that the deck that holds / picks up the pins will indeed crush you, it’s extremely heavy, it’s controlled by a computer that doesn’t care if you are in the way and it will drop towards the lane without warning. I’ve no idea why you would think it was a good idea to slide underneath the deck, the sweep and the deck are both clearly very tough bits of kit, you aren’t! We had double safety locking systems on the power supply and physical stops inside them on our pinsetters so that when were working on them there was zero chance of them operating, They will chew you up and spit you out. Your coffin will be wide and flat.

This works for cats too. I saw it on a pet rescue where they thought (or knew) a cat had been poisoned with antifreeze. They lived through the worse hang over ever!

Any electrical engineers care to chime in on the voracity of this statement? This would be life saving information to have if true.

If you survive the car crash you mean...

No it isn't, you should lay on top of a fat person.

Or there’s a child with a balloon above you, it’s up to you to judge which is more likely….

Unless it’s projectile vomit, in which case this does not work. It does make the others in the house curious about what’s happening in the bathroom though

Then punch the shark it was planning to share you with in the nose and casually swim back to shore giving the "what's up?" shrug to any other thug beasts thinking about joining in. I got it now: Alligator = finger in nose. Shark = punch nose.

Good to know, but that will go against every instinct in my body.

Especially after drinking! /s

And never, ever, ever put de lime in da coconut.

Brain freeze...brain freeze....

Apparently, there are some people unfamiliar with driving where there are frequent deer. No one wants to hit the deer. It is horrible for deer and your car and possibly your life. Sometimes deer dart into the highway from places on the side of the highway you simply couldn't have seen them before and anticipated. They can jump in front far faster than you can reasonably stop a car. Generally, when this happens, you're also going fast enough (highway speed) that swerving as suddenly as you would have to avoid the deer will land you over the side of the highway or rolling your vehicle. It has long been recommended that after a certain speed, it is just safer to hit the deer. Not only for you, but the people behind you in traffic. No one wants to hit the deer, but sometimes it is the best option in a bad situation, so it is considered best practice since the situation happens fast enough you likely won't have time to analyze the situation.

Alligators can NOT run up to 35 miles per hour at all. They’re not land animals (well, they are, but designed to be much more effective in water). The average, healthy human could outrun an alligator on land whether running in a straight line or zig zagging.

If there is signal on any network.

Just tried and it worked very well. Good to know!

Cops have time to pull you over for this?

Huh? Parents?

I can't see me being able to do that. Note to self: do not put yourself into a position that you need to jump from a moving vehicle.

Difficult. The way I see it is stepping instead of jumping would make sort of a high momentum making your head become the end of a lever movement. Just like a door bang. Jumping may be also dangerous but it could give you the chance to roll instead of a heavy impact. But yes: situation is very peculiar.

Wouldn’t that break your leg though . 🤔

But it greatly increases the chance of you breaking your leg and not being able to get up or run after the fall. Either way, get the heck out of the car however you can, especially if you're in mortal danger if you stay in the car.

not very easy, police car can only open from outside

I survived exactly this situation by tucking my head in, covering it with my arms, and trying to land on the top of my back. That way, the momentum puts you into a natural roll, protects your head, and disperses most of the energy. You are practically diving as low as possible as you leave the vehicle but make sure you protect your head! If you go feet first, there is always a very real possibility of breaking a leg or ankle. We were travelling at around 30mph - so not very fast - but I didn't even get a scratch. The worst I suffered was a split pair of suit trousers. Which was disappointing but at least I was alive and out of the car. Also, make sure there is no traffic approaching or overtaking that might run you over before you jump.

I've actually have to escape from a moving vehicle before. And have used the 1 food down step method, it actually does work without injury, I landed on both my feet, but because of the momentum, I ended up in a crouching position, thus I think scraping my knees barely, and got right back up. I was also carrying a huge duffle bag and like 3 or 4 backpacks on both arms. Yeah... I was escaping from my crazy dad.

But..you'll lose your damn leg. No...tuck head in roll up and jump

Fall? That's a human crash wrecking ball!

If you are ever getting into the rear door of a vehicle, & the driver is rushing to take off, yell at the driver that you aren't in yet, so he will hit the brake. Your foot on the ground is only seconds away from being crushed by the rear wheel as it starts to roll forward.

Nope, you shouldn't do that especially if you're moving at high speeds. The better option is to wait for them to turn a corner or hit a bump, because then they'll slow down, and then crouch down so your body's close to the ground, because then when you leap out, the impact from gravitational height will be less. Cover your head and neck above all else in case you have to tuck and roll.

Won't you break your foot when you put it down on the road from a moving car....

It's good to know, for some girls !!!

Break an ankle ?

I find putting one foot down on the brake is a better solution.

tuck and roll too

This will just make the open door slam into you at speed.

which people?

Or maybe just step out of the car and away from the railroad. Car can be replaced.
