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.

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.

Gen X here... I grew up on TV, and got the misconception that quicksand was a mortal threat that I needed to be aware of. Decades later, and I have never encountered quicksand, nor has anyone that I know. This current generation will get their own misconceptions from these stupid tiktok people.

A lot of these are about what to do when kidnapped or abducted, but the likelihood of this happening to anyone that isn't involved in crime already, and isn't a child with an estranged parent, is so vanishingly small it's not worth thinking about. All articles like this do is scare people into thinking that life is much more dangerous than it is and people more violent than they actually are. It makes everyone's lives a little bit worse for no gain. (and before anyone kicks off, I didn't say *no one* ever gets abducted, I said the risk is incredibly small).

Just a question for the Pandas out there; since a lot of this advice involves kidnapping, robbery, plain old abduction, guns, knives, etc., how many of you out there have been subjected to this level of implied or actual violence?
