Wooowwww. I have learnt a lot from this piece.... Lastmumu, you dey wise in this aspect ooo
Re: Knowledge That Might Save Your Life One Day by oyekanwahab(m): 7:32am On Aug 24, 2017
LastMumu:


13. You are driving a car and your brakes failed,then

Do not say your last prayers in panic and be shouting "Jesus! Jesus!" upandan
Do not kill( turn off) the engine in panic as turning off engine will lock your steering then you can't change your path to avoid collisions.
Do not change your gear to “neutral”, just decrease the gears sequentially. If you are in 80 with 4 gear come to 3rd and hit accelerator car will slow down like wise do with rest of the gears.
Once you have attained impact sustainable speed, try hand brakes. If they failed too, collide your vehicle with a similarly sized, parked car because Car fronts are designed to absorb shock (structurally weaker) and hitting a similarly sized car will distribute the momentum evenly
Else collide it with a tree or pole( make sure you wear seat belt and have air bags).



there is need to tell people about this more,
lask week a guy in my area ram is car to a shop because of brake failure, and i was telling him that next time he would have just shift to lower gear and use engin brake to stop and he was like it not possible, that ones brake fail the car would automatically start accelerating by it self

The memorizing of KORAN part is a life saver; most of the people carrying out terror attacks are usually religious bigots, and your ability to memorize a few chapters always comes in handy when they began to separate "sheep for slaughter" because of their sympathy for a particular religion

Lives have been saved by knowing these

Great!
LastMumu:
1. Never take out an object you’ve been stabbed with. It’s actually preventing you from a hemorrhage. Let a doctor or other medical person remove it.

[img]http://4.bp..com/-L2qrQh_fWnM/Vv3LLIVUOwI/AAAAAAAAEdg/C28odYJKo-81hTbUOQnw8co_3ez8afNWA/s1600/Stabbed%2Bin%2BStomach.jpg[/img]

2. If you need urgent help in a public place, do not scream for help. People will think someone else will help you. Instead, call out for help to one specific person.
The bystander effect, is a social psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help.

[img]http://sonnemann.files./2012/04/bystandereffect.jpg[/img]

3.If the plane you’re in has to perform a water landing, you should never inflate your life jacket while you’re in the plane, as it will make you stuck on the ceiling. Get off the plane first, then inflate the jacket.



4.If you’re cooking with oil and gas and it catches fire, never try to extinguish it with water. Because of the oil, you’ll instead make the fire bigger. Simply turn off the gas and use something non-flammable to cover the flames. A pot lid, wet cloth or a wool blanket are useful.





5.Stay close to the ground if any building catches fire. Smoke is the first cause of death during a fire & smoke rises. Clearer air for breathing is found close to the ground.



6. If you find yourself in the ocean, for example, and want to surface, your first instinct will be to paddle as fast as you can. It will exhaust you, and eventually cause you to drown. Instead, just float, like in this video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jncVb2onYC4&feature=youtu.be

7.Wherever you go, be it a church, a party, or even a school, make sure you see 3 exits. It can be both easy and hard. Scan the space with your eyes so that even if there’s only one door you’ll find at least three ways out.

Why? If something bad happens, it’ll be too late to look for an exit. If you’ve found and memorized them in advance, you’ll be able to move toward one of them almost without thinking.

I5. If a stranger gets in your car forcefully and orders you to take them somewhere, you can drive straight into a pole or a lamp post. This way you’ll render yourself useless to them becausea) the car is damaged andb) you've drawn enough attention by crashing thecar.Sure, you'll damage your car but you'll save your life. Ensure your seat belt is on and your car has airbag.

Agree with all your points except this. If the stranger is armed with a lethal weapon, DON'T try this. Please don't try to be a hero In Hollywood movies or James Bond. You will be killed if you try to play smart.
Obey all instructions and you might live see another day.

You can only use the above tip if you are SURE the stranger is unharmed.

If the stranger is unarmed, why'd I even ruin my car or even listen to him in the first place? I'd rather call the police or drag him out of my car lol.

LastMumu, so you get sense like this? Nice one.

I know I run the risk of sounding like a religious bigot but we are sharing life-saving tips here, and what I'm about to share has proven time and time again to be a major life saver.

16. Learn and memorize at least two verses in the Quran. With the recent upsurge of terrorist attacks at malls, parks and on the road, you might not know when and where this knowledge might be of grave importance. At least, this dude lived to tell his story.

The stranger being harmed is a bigger reason why you need to safely crash the car than follow him to an unknown location, you do not know if going there would get you raped, kidnapped or murdered (there are many psychopaths and ritualists roaming the world today). As long as you are not driving at a neck-breaking speed and your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, you will be safe. Crashing the car in a populated area will disorient the attacker and bring everyone's attention to the crash. I would rather risk that than being alone with an armed stranger in an unknown location where I have no control again.

I agree with this a 100%. However, since we are not really sure of the status of the stranger (he might be a terrorist, hired assassin, Street thug, etc ) They best thing to do always is to Obey instructions. If he feels threatened or can see you trying to play smart. He won't hesitate to kill you! Don't underestimate some peeps.
Re: Knowledge That Might Save Your Life One Day by Nobody: 11:29am On Aug 24, 2017
To buttress my point, LastMumu

This is a perfect answer from a Professor of Criminal Justice on Quora and this should apply in all situations.

"Complying with the robber’s demands is usually the best thing to do unless you’re Chuck Norris, and even then you still might be injured ot killed. You don’t know what’s in his mind so it’s best not to aggravate him"

Don't try to play smart!

There is English translation, then even the Arabic code, you can learn a thing or two ; when I was in school, during their (Muslim day... We usually have Christians and Muslims prayers ) morning devotion, there were some catchy chapters they usually turn into song... Though in Arabic but I was still able to memorize them, even till today I still remember when I hear it over there mosque
