“Search The Most Deadly Places First”: 35 Facts That Could Help Save Someone’s Life One Day
Interview
One of the best skills you can learn in life is staying cool as a cucumber in emergency situations. While everyone else around is panicking, you’re collected and know exactly what to do. You take charge. You calm everyone down. You lead them out of the crisis.
Reddit user u/Accidentallyupvotes1 sparked an important discussion on the r/AskReddit forum. They invited everyone to share the facts that could end up potentially saving a person’s life. We’ve collected the most important ones. You might find some of these insights and suggestions new. Meanwhile, others are a good refresher for all of us.
Bored Panda reached out to the author of the viral thread, u/Accidentallyupvotes1, and they were happy to answer our questions and share their thoughts. You'll find their insights as you scroll down.

If you can’t find you kid in your house, don’t search common places they would be. Search the most deadly places; pools, freezes, washing machines and dryers. Seconds count and if they are hiding under the table for an extra minute, who cares.

Staying calm under stress has a lot of different factors associated with it. But broadly speaking, there are a few main aspects. The first one is your ability to be aware of and regulate your emotions when things get tough. Secondly, you have to know what to do in these emergency situations—it’s a question of information. And third of all, you have to have at least some sort of practical experience dealing with the situations in question.
If you only have a theoretical knowledge of what to do when there’s an emergency, you might be too shocked to put any of those ideas into practice. Similarly, even if you’re decent at not giving in to stress, you might still feel lost because you don’t know what to do in that particular situation.
#4
You should still attempt to dial 911 in an emergency even if you have no bars of signal. There are protocols that allow your phone to bounce signals off any tower available, including military/first responder ones and towers not on your network in the event that you attempt to call 911.

if it feels wrong, it probably is. trust that gut feeling, it’s there for a reason.
I heart Boo-BI-es 1 year ago
It really is amazing to think about, just how much is going on in your brain, that you don't even think about, it's just happening in the background. Everything that is picked up by your senses, is constantly being processed and filed. Truly mind blowing 🤯 Also I may or may not have recently consumed my prescribed medication. 🫠
#6
Teach your kids that if they're ever separated from you to find any closest adult (in emergencies). The likelihood of THE next person you would walk up to being a [predator] are slim to none. But the odds increase dramatically waiting for the first person to approach a child alone.
It’s probably a good idea that you and your loved ones know what to do in case of more common emergencies. For example, if there’s a fire at home. Running through some roleplaying exercises can cement this in everyone’s minds.
It’s why you have fire drills at schools and some companies. You’re putting all of that knowledge into practice so that if things do go wrong, you don’t panic. You stay calm. You don’t stick around for your valuables. You head out the door after making sure that your loved ones are with you.

The rocks from a river absorb water. When rapidly heated it causes the absorbed water to boil much quicker than steam can escape the rock. This buildup of steam causes the rock to explode, sending hot rock fragments everywhere.
So don't use rocks from a river to make a fire pit.
the quickening 1 year ago
Yeah, shouldn't build a sauna oven using regular rocks from your yard.
Meanwhile, if you live in a part of the world where hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters are commonplace, it only makes sense that you have an emergency plan… as well as a backup plan if the first one fails. The more you practice something, the more confident you become. The more confident you are, the less you’ll panic when you have to put your theoretical knowledge into action. You’re simply running through what the same process you’ve done time and again.
The fact of the matter is that we physically cannot be prepared for every possible eventuality. No matter how capable we are, we’ll still be surprised by what life throws at us. But we cannot chronically worry about that, being scared to even step outside our own homes.

Getting a second or even third opinion. You know yourself better than they do. If you don’t get answers please keep looking. Please don’t settle.
We learn what we can. We practice what we can. And then, we focus on the other things in our lives that we can control. Like taking good care of our physical and mental health so that we’re fit and focused and better at surviving. Not to mention strengthening our relationships with people so that if things do turn out bad, we have a strong social network to lean on.
The discussion that redditor u/Accidentallyupvotes1 started is a vital one. Not only does it remind people that they should probably brush up on their emergency-handling knowledge, but it also works as a starting point for folks who have never considered the possibility of being in these situations before.
We were curious about what had inspired the OP to create the r/AskReddit thread in the first place. According to them, it was as much about curiosity as calming down their sense of worry about the world. "I have a minor case of anxiety," they opened up to us, adding that they "just wanted to learn some facts." As it turns out, they have a lot in common with other redditors.

Choking is silent. If they’re coughing, they’re not actually choking. If someone goes silent and starts pointing to their neck, start the Heimlich maneuver.
Jeevesssssss 1 year ago
If it's a baby/toddler/small child choking, instead of the Heimlich (go to hug choking person from behind, one hand over the other with the bottom hand a fist at just below ribcage level, and jerk INWARDS and UP several times in succession), you want to sit down, flip the kid face-down over your knee, and bang their back with an upward (relative to them) striking motion just below the level of their shoulder blades (having them face-down like this means gravity works with you here).

If someone comes at you with a weapon and tells you to go with them, DO NOT. Never go to the second location.

Ok, well how do you prevent them from not taking you, to the second location?
Learning to stay calm in emergency situations really is easier said than done. We were curious to get the thread author's take on this. They shared their perspective on how anyone can handle these sorts of unexpected situations better.
In u/Accidentallyupvotes1's opinion, the key is learning to control your breathing. They suggested that people slow down their breathing and focus on taking deeper breaths. This should help them calm down and stay in control when things get stressful.
The OP urged everyone to take a "deep breath" and then strongly exhale, as though they were trying to "blow out a candle." Repeat this as necessary.
#16
If your kid gets kidnapped, don’t teach them to say “help”. Teach them to say something like “who the f**k are you, you’re not my f*****g dad, f**k you.” That’s gonna turn a lot more heads and get you actual help a lot quicker.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand, who cares if a child is using profanity, safety first and drawing attention is necessary in any way possible. On the other hand, is that the right way to draw attention? By that I mean, would the child's profanity and saying things like 'you're not my F'ing dad and F you' come across as an obstinate brat with perhaps a step-dad or something? Would yelling 'Stranger' or 'Leave me alone, I don't know you' draw attention more inclined to intervene? I really don't know.
David Andrews 1 year ago
Yeah, that's my feeling too. If I was out and a child started shouting that someone was a stranger and they needed help, my first reaction would be concern. If I hear a child yelling f*ck you etc, my first reaction would probably be to think "I can't believe they let their child talk to them like that". It gets your attention, but I'm guessing it it also a lot easier to dismiss as something other than an abduction.

And in public, this is more likely to get a passing glance and when the adult involved says something like, that’s enough of that you’re going straight to bed when we get home…. child will be gone without another thought from those around.

Also, if there are people around, the kid can ask for their help by specifically describing them: "lady with the blue dress! this man is not my dad!" It makes people feel directly responsible and there are higher chances for them to intervene.

Until the adult who can actually think faster on their feet says sorry to bother you, this child’s outbursts are becoming embarrassing. Hope your delicate sensibilities comfort you hours later when you find out about the kidnapping on the news. Way to go!

Tbh, children throwing tantrums could just as easily accuse parents in public so they don’t have to go home yet. It doesn’t matter if it’s curse words or, hey lady in the blue dress this is not my dad. Kids will be kids. Kids acting out with extreme cursing and an air of emergency will attract far more attention and attention is what you as the child’s parent would absolutely want

I was told if you are sexually attacked by someone, don't yell rape or similar. Yell "FIRE" as loud as you can. More people will respond to that.
Lady Gypsy Rain 1 year ago
Fire has become such a common thing for people to yell as pranks, it’s not as effective as it used to be. Besides, someone yelling fire, people that believed that would take off to save their own lives. Not the life of the child or person yelling it. Besides, if you are able to yell fire, you will sound like someone who is already fleeing for safety while warning others of impending danger. This is a very outdated way to respond.

Only if you are a parent with delicate sensibilities and then you never would’ve taught them this to begin with. Though, if you use the word in the child’s presence often enough, they will start using it anyway. And if they get in trouble for that, you should punish yourself first

How about teaching them that when someone tries to abduct them, it's a good time to throw a tantrum (might be an effective deterrent in case of a stranger)... Along with "You aren't my mommy/daddy!" Considering the majority of offences against children are by someone they know, I think teaching autonomy over their body (and being allowed to say NO to an adult/older child) might be a good strategy.
Lady Gypsy Rain 1 year ago
Because children never throw tantrums in public unless they are being abducted. FFS

This post can be very true and helpful. Kids can attract attention with the right words said out loud. Once I took my 6 year old son's best friend to pickup a pizza for dinner (she was female and white & I was in my 40s and not white) and my son didn't want to go with us on this quick trip because of his addiction to Sponge Bob Squarepants. Waiting on the pizza, an older woman asked me who this little girl was, and I jokingly said, "Oh, this is my little girl." Within seconds, my son's friend being honest and not understanding my position, said, "You aren't my Daddy!". And yes, I had to explain why I and this little girl were even together before leaving with our pizza. So Yes, teach your kids to ask or say certain verses when in a potential dangerous position. And I am glad this appened during the 1990s in California and not the 1940s in the U.S. deep South. Anothern well paid lesson in my life.

Teach them to write “Call 911” on anything and everything if they are kidnapped. Has worked many times, according to a cop friend of mine.

Because my child will always have a spray paint can, Pen or marker with them in public? Your cop friend isn’t very wise. Oh and it’s my numerous cop friends from when I was a 911 dispatcher that taught me these are extremely outdated and the screaming and cursing is the current best solution. After all, look at how many of you are offended at the mere thought. Y’all must be getting the vapors.

Sure - teach them to yell something that makes them sound like an annoying unreasonable brat that people are less likely to want to help or interact with. /S Yes to drawing attention to a stranger kidnaping them. No to teaching them to act like the spawn of Satan.

Spawn of Satan draws more attention. Spawn of Satan also puts up such loud and vocal resistance that the adult involved is more likely to give up their attempt and take off. All the while looking for that quiet child left briefly unattended on the egress. So angelic cherubim gets taken. Spawn of satan goes home. Hmmmm. Might wanna rethink this suggestion.

If you've gone two and a half or more days without water, and you have to choose between drinking water without any way to sanitize it or not drinking water, drink the water. If you don't, you'll definitely die soon. Most of the diseases you can get from bad water take a couple days to set in, which gives you more time to find help.

If you get caught in a rip current, don’t fight it. It won’t pull you under. People die because they panic, fight it, and get tired and then drown.
When you can, swim parallel to the shore out of the rip and then diagonally back to shore.
EDIT: I’m taking out the part about “let it take you out” because people bring up a point below that you should start swimming parallel immediately. I just meant you shouldn’t fight it and swim against straight back to shore. That’s not going to end well. Stay safe out there everyone!

If someone is bleeding heavily, put pressure on it, don’t just watch
Jeevesssssss 1 year ago
Also, don't remove material on the wound that blood has soaked through, just put more on top. Taking stuff off will interrupt any clotting that's taking place. And if you have any handy, sanitary pads are really useful when you have a heavily bleeding wound. They don't stick badly like fabric does and they're incredibly absorbent for their size, plus you can tape them in place. MUCH easier to manage a taped-in-place pad or two than a blood-soaked towel that needs holding and is dripping (also less distressing for others in the waiting room). I don't menstruate, but they're in my first aid kit! FYI, tampons are great for nose bleeds too!

Bear Hall 1 year ago
If something like this happens open your window right away even if it's raining, scorching hot or freezing cold outside. If it's CO it literally clears your head. If you are "just" tired or ill the sudden change of temperature might give you the necessary boost to drive somewhere you can safely stop and take a breather. Because you should stop asap and resume only after you feel alert enough to drive again. Don't risk it even if you are only 2 corners away from home.

This isn't necessarily life-saving info, but it's something to remember for all you guys out there with phone anxiety, and it DEFINITELY applies 100% in emergency situations. It occurred to me when I had a friend with severe anxiety staying with me, and I started a new medication and had a REALLY bad reaction. She had to make a 999 call so I could be assessed by paramedics/taken to hospital if necessary, and she was stumbling over words, needed time to breathe, etc. - but she managed to communicate all the essential information, even if it wasn't neat and tidy. When the call was over she started the typical spiral (self-hate, useless, not good enough, etc.) and I was pretty out of it but I remember telling her, "you aren't being given marks out of 10. The sole purpose of the call was to give information to get a service. You managed to give the information even though it was hard, and you've got me the service. Thank you." And that applies to so many phone situations.

But this isn’t advice. You didn’t give a tip on how the friend could overcome anxiety. You just told a story about how you said something nice to your friend for helping. Your friend needs a doctor too. Speaking on the phone shouldn’t induce that much anxiety.
