120 Potentially Life-Saving Tips Shared By People In This Online Thread

ADVERTISEMENT

As the proverb goes, caution is the parent of safety. The truth is that we never expect the worst to happen; hence we rarely prepare for what we would do if it did. For many, the only training they have ever done was fire and first aid training in school. In fact, according to research by the British Red Cross, only 5% of individuals have the knowledge and confidence necessary to give first aid in an emergency. Such a low percentage shows that the majority of the population is, in fact, unaware of how to respond to potentially detrimental situations. While health and fitness tips are important, tips that could save your life one day are, arguably, even more so.

Still, while knowing first aid is arguably No 1 of the life-saving skills one may possess, fire, a car crash, a tsunami, or a heart attack are just a few of the things that can be deadly. Hence, when someone in the AskReddit community asked, “What’s a tip that everyone should know which might one day save their life?” thousands of people jumped on the thread to share potentially life-saving tips with others. Things such as driving on a slippery road or putting an intoxicated person in the recovery position are just some of the life lessons not taught at school, yet, those might be the things that will save your life (or that of someone you love) one day.

Below, we’ve compiled some of the best answers from the thread, sharing the many tips that can save your life or someone you care about. Learned something new or discovered any good tips? Make sure to give them an upvote. Ever been in a life-threatening situation? Anything you learned from it or wish you had known earlier? Share your thoughts in the comments.

"Don't pour water on a grease fire."

"One of the many things i watched on tv as a kid were Elvis Presley movies. In one of his movies he has a date with a girl in her apartment. She cooks a roast in the oven for their dinner. Elvis arrives and the food is burning. Flames are shooting out of the oven. She makes a move to throw water on the fire, but Elvis stops her and grabs a container of salt and throws handfuls of salt onto the fire which promptly puts it out. One day I'm sitting in the living room when I hear my mother yell from the kitchen. I race there and flames are leaping out of the boiler. Huge grease fire. Almost as high as the stove itself. Mother makes a move to throw water on it, but remembering how Elvis did it, I stop her. Then I grab a container of salt and throw handfuls of salt onto the fire which immediately extinguishes the flames within seconds. Mother looks at me with a surprised expression on her face and she asks me, "how did you know to do that?" Thanks, Elvis. Thank you very much."

"We had a sheriff come in to talk to us about active shooter situations. Going through that training taught me a ton, but the one piece of advice I got that stuck with me was: "Have a plan, and every day go through the plan in your head. This will help you to not panic if it actually happens. Never try to engage but if, God forbid, you must defend yourself then you swarm. Be savage and do not let up. Their due process was done when they decided to bring a gun into your building". Can't state enough how much they advise to never engage but have a plan for everything."

One of the mantras in our house is "don't engage with crazy". If somebody's acting nuts, walk away. Do not engage, because you don't know if they'll get crazier. It started after a teenager revved his engine at a neighbor kid playing in our street. The kid got mad and ran at the car shouting, after which the teenager tried to hit him for real. He missed; the boy was fine, but we all had a good life lesson that day. Don't engage with crazy.

When I had my daughter, the hospital had a 24 hour new parent channel that had infant CPR techniques.

Another trick was if they stick something up their nose, (which they LOVE to do) close the other nostril with your finger and blow into their mouth. It shoots right out.

That's clever and I'd never have thought of it. Makes complete sense: if someone says they're going to stick you with a knife, they may poke you a bit if you argue or disobey. But if you simply flop to the ground and start flailing your arms and legs, sticking you with a knife isn't going to achieve anything other than drawing more attention to it. I'll remember this one.

A lot of people aren't strong enough to do that, and would probably be better off kinda laying on their back and trying to kick the window out by stomping on it with the heels of both feet. You can generate a lot more force with both legs than by awkwardly swinging a headrest with your arms (assuming you can even remove it). But yeah, just get an emergency car tool to play it safe.

This greatly depends on what sort of woods you are in, whether you have told people you are going into the woods, what the search and rescue situation is in that part of the world, etc. ....... One of the best things about being lost in the woods is you will often find branches and twigs. If you have decided the best course of action is walk, then use the twigs and branches to make arrows showing the way you are travelling. Every so often, hug a tree, at dog-nose height. This will make it so much easier for tracker dogs to find you.

"Do not jump in the water to save a drowning person unless absolutely necessary i.e. a child etc. Drowning people tend to clasp on their rescuers and drag them under with them. Find something to throw or some sort of lifeline."

sweadle replied:
"If a drowning person does grab on, they will essentially try to climb you like a ladder or push you under to get the leverage to get some air. It's instinctive at that point and impossible to override. If you're being pushed under, just swim down out of their grasp, come up little ways away, and try to reapproach."

"If a nuclear bomb is dropped near you, seek shelter immediately. Close all windows and doors and turn off anything that circulates air, such as heating, AC, and fans. Take off your clothes, shower well, shampoo your hair, but do not use conditioner (which could trap contaminated particles in your hair). Stay inside for at least 24 hours, 72 if you can. Don’t go outside for any reason, not even to look for family. If you do this, nuclear attacks are surprisingly survivable. So many people think they don’t need to have an emergency plan because they think they’d automatically die in a nuclear attack... don’t be like those people!"

Use your entire hand positioned like taking an oath, fingers straight etc, you hit the attacker in the face repeatedly right in the middle of their face, kind of at an angle from below, like aim from the bottom of the nose. Keep hitting like this, it is painful and incredibly distracting for them. They won’t be able to get the upper hand."

"If you aren't trained and equipped for an in-water rescue don't attempt an in-water rescue of someone who is drowning. Try to reach them with something like a long pole. This works best if the victim is close like in a pool. Lie down so the victim can't easily pull you in. Try to throw the victim something that floats. Life ring. Life jacket. Wetsuit. Pool toys. Those bad styrofoam ice chests people sometimes take to the beach. It's handy if whatever you throw has a rope attached so you can pull the person in but it's more important to get the person something floating to stop the drowning. Then you can solve the problem of getting a non-drowning (and hopefully not panicking) victim out of the water. Try to get to the victim in a small craft like a jetski or rowboat.
