If the water na Majidun nko ?

THE TOPIC IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT POOR, MISLEADING AND HAZARDOUS WRITE UP.
NEVER NEVER FORCE YOUR WINDOW OPEN OR BRAKE IT, IF YOU DO, THE FORCE OF WATER INFLOW WILL PUSH YOU BACK AND YOU CAN NEVER OVERCOME IT.
AS FOR THE DOOR, IT WON'T OPEN AND YOU'LL END UP USING YOUR REMAINING ENERGY THERE.

1. IF THE CLASS BREAK DUE TO IMPACT OR THE WINDOWS WERE OPENED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND WATER IS ALREADY IN JUST AFTER THE ACCIDENT, IT'S 50/50 CHANCE, DON'T BE RECEIVED.
*Remain calm, hold your nostrils till water settle in the car in less 10 second then climb the car, car doesn't submerged immediately no matter what, it takes average of 5minutes after accident before submerging.

2. IF WINDOWS ARE CLOSED AND NO BREAKAGES, YOU HAVE BETTER CHANCE OF SURVIVING.
* Calm down and please don't rush, wait until the car is stable, check for where you see ray of light, that's the place facing up and not cover by water, in most cases is the backside because of the weight of car engine that must have pulled the front side down, move towards there and break the screen from the side, make access stay on top or swim away to safety.

Make life jacket and hammer one the items to be in your car always

Thank you

i did nah

Yeah on set of a view to kill

SexySapphire:
Panic attack is something sure that will hit anyone in such situation cos no one wants die, but I pray and hope for anyone that encounter such that God will give them a little bit of calmness to weather the storm.

By the way, I also need to learn how to swim, but my fear of water entering my ears won't let me

Water won’t enter your ear when you swim.

Donald3d:
There was a recent accident along Lagos-Benin road where a vehicle plunged into a river and led to loss of lives. As much as no one prays to be in such a situation, it’s good to be ready in the event that such happens.

Let’s learn how we can survive a situation where a vehicle is sinking into a river or sea, or any large body of water.

1.Learn how to swim, it should be a basic skill, your life might depend on it one day. Prepare for it !.

2.When the car is thrown into the air , moving towards the body of water, brace for impact. Hold on to something. Your steering wheel would suffice, hold it at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.

3.Bear in mind that every second counts to ensure you come out alive .I am tempted to tell you to remain calm, but the truth is you just have to try to remain calm in that situation, no matter how hard it is . According to experts, panic is one of the major reasons why people drown because they can’t think straight.


4.The first thing you should do is, put your phone in your pocket immediately the vehicle lands in the water, unbuckle your seatbelt roll down the windows and crawl out through the windows and swim to safety. ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE DOOR JUST ONCE. IF IT DOESN’T OPEN FORGET IT AND FOCUS ON THE WINDOWS, IT WON’T OPEN BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE, AND IT WOULD FURTHER WASTE YOUR TIME, ENERGY AND OXYGEN, WHICH YOU REALLY NEED. REMEMBER EVERY SECOND COUNTS

5.If the window refused to open/roll down , the next step is to break it. Get a hard sharp object and break the edges/ the corners of the window, those are the weakest points .If you don’t have any sharp object, remove the head rest of your seat and use the metal part to break the four corners of the windows. If you can’t get any object, you would have to use your elbow or fist to break it.

6.If you have kids in the car, make sure they go out before you do.Make sure you hold them tight, the water current might be too strong for them.

7.If you can’t exit through the window for some reasons, wait for the car to fill up with water, then open the door, the pressure would have balanced. Once you open the door, you should see bubbles, swim in the direction of the bubbles.

8.As soon as you are out, you might still be able to use your phone to place a call to emergency lines, 112 and 767

Stay safe
Kindly share this, you might be saving someone's life

how to survive if you vehicle is sinking in the River?




Don't Drive your vehicle in the River, it's not A boat or ship.


Always drive on the Road. your vehicle is not meant to walk on water it's not Jesus.

Ekikor:
Very informative..
Though we don't pray to be involved in such accidents but how many people can even swim in this our obodo Nigeria and how many would even bother to take swimming lessons

That's more reason you have to learn, as for me I learn how to swim when I was in my Home town Orogun, Ughelli Delta State. We dey baff for bridge that year nor be small

MartinCorridon:
Happened to me once in Bayelsa.

It was raining and the road was slippery, i was rushing home after work. My car went into the river and i felt the icy darkness of the water engulf me...


I broke the window with my elbow (was wearing a suit)

Swam to the back tyre and removed the top of the tyre tubing, i took 2-5 puffs of the tyre air and then trying not to panick, i swam to the surface.

Luckily i was rescued shivering with my teeth chattering, by some nearby fishermen who saw the car plunge under.

It was a CLOSE SHAVE

I need noone to tell me this a lie

Nice one autojosh!!!

When you`re still mid air heading for the waters, open the car door down.
Above all be calm and think straight.
