You never know what tomorrow might bring. It might start like a perfectly ordinary day but then you go out for a hike and get lost in the wilderness. Or get back to your apartment building and take the elevator to your floor just for it to start falling.

Of course, it's very improbable that you'll end up in a similar situation. But if, God forbid, you do, internet personality Adorian Deck, aka The Facts Guy, wants you to be prepared. So he is working on an interesting video series where he shares information on how to identify and escape emergencies.

Meet Adorian Deck, aka The Facts Guy, who has over 3 million followers on TikTok

@adoriandeck

One of his most successful video series is dedicated to explaining how to survive potentially fatal situations

40 Life-Saving Tips You Might Not Have Known But Definitely Should When crying for help, try and call some specific people like "hey, you in the red shirt, help, I'm being mugged!" A lot of people will ignore a help call so if you call someone specifically they'll look at you. If people are really ignoring your help call you can just try and yell "fire!" because people are going to come running to see stuff burning.

It's an instinct in felines and other predatorts too. Turning your back is what will trigger prowling/attack behavior. So whatever you do, don't turn your back.

If somebody is ever trying to take you or points a gun at you to get you away in a public place, you just have to start screaming and fighting. Even if you're shot, medical attention can get to you relatively fast, but if they do end up taking you to a private place, your chances of being rescued are much lower

If someone grabs you by the arm, don't just pull away. Twist your arm instead, your arm goes in nearly all directions, but their wrist won't.

Sigh. You swim ACROSS a rip tide, parallel to the beach (you can't swim around it). When you feel the pull is less or gone then you can swim to the beach.

Really depends on what kind of crash you are in. There is a slight statistical advantage in some places of the plane across all types of accident, but that does not mean the seat you have chosen will have "the highest chance of survival". For your flight that may well be the reverse. Actual useful advice is to know where your exits are, how far away you are from them, wear proper shoes, not flip flops, and pay attention during the safety briefing.
