Dangerous situations happen suddenly, and it is important not to get confused and understand how to behave correctly. This knowledge will help you avoid unpleasant consequences, and maybe save your life.
1. 
If you can't find your child at home, look first in the most dangerous places: swimming pools, freezers, washing machines and dryers. Seconds count, and if he hides under the table and sits there for an extra minute, it's not critical.
2. 
Choking occurs silently. If a person coughs, it means he is not suffocating. If someone stops talking and starts pointing at their neck, perform the Heimlich maneuver.
3. 
If you fall through the ice... a dark spot is the way out. The sun reflects off the surface of the ice. There is no ice or reflection in the place where you fell through, so it will be dark there.
4. 
You are not required to answer if your doorbell rings.
5. 
Teach your children that if they are ever lost, they should ask an adult for help. The probability that the first person you meet will be an attacker is practically zero. But the chances increase sharply if the child waits for someone to volunteer to help.
6. 
If something seems wrong to you, then it is. Trust your intuition, it will not deceive you.
7. 
Wool is warmer than anything that feels warm even when wet.
8. 
Rocks in the river absorb water. When heated quickly, the absorbed water boils much faster than the steam can escape from the rock. The accumulation of steam causes the stone to explode. Therefore, do not use stones from the river for a fire.
9. 
Count the rows between your seat and the emergency exit. In the event of a fire, if nothing is visible, you can find a way out by touch.
10. 
Driving is not a race or a game that you have to win. There are no prizes here.
eleven. 
You can call emergency services from a mobile phone without connection or internet.
12. 
If you are on the beach and the water suddenly recedes, run to higher ground. A tsunami is approaching.
13. 
If you are attacked with a weapon and asked to go with them, do not do it. Never leave.
14. 
I live in Canada, this only applies to cold climates. If a person is cold, this does not mean that he is dead. Sometimes we manage to warm it up and save it.
15. 
If you are lost in the woods, the best thing to do is to remain calm and stay where you are. If there is no immediate threat to your safety, simply sit down and wait to be found.
Many people are killed or seriously injured because they wander and search and rescue cannot catch up with them.
16. 
If you are bitten by a wild animal, go to the hospital as soon as possible. There is a high risk of contracting rabies.
17. 
Do not mix bleach with anything other than water.
18. 
If you get caught in a rip current, don't fight it. It won't pull you underwater. People die because they panic, get tired and drown.
If possible, swim parallel to the shore until the current weakens.
19. 
If you have gone more than two days without water and you find a body of water, drink water. Otherwise, you will definitely die soon.
Most diseases that can be contracted from dirty water appear within a couple of days. So you still have time to find help.

Diagnosis of stroke: STROKE
U - smile. A person cannot smile.
D - movement. Can't raise both arms.
A - articulation. Cannot pronounce his name clearly.
R - solution. Doctors have only 4.5 hours to save the patient's life.
21. 
A fishy smell in your home could indicate faulty electrical wiring.
22. 
Baking soda will put out any fire, even grease and electrical fires. Keep a box of it handy when cooking or grilling.
22. 
Carbon monoxide has no odor. Buy a detector.
24. 
Do not remove a knife or other object from a puncture wound to avoid causing more bleeding.
25. 
Women have different symptoms of a heart attack. In addition to the main symptom, piercing chest pain, there is a large list of atypical manifestations.
26. 
Wet clothing causes you to lose heat 20 times faster than dry clothing.
27. 
Losing weight without effort may indicate cancer.
28. 
Never walk/ski/snowboard near trees after heavy snowfall. You risk falling into a snow “well”, which sometimes reaches several meters in depth.
