To increase your odds of surviving a stampede, Good Morning America recommends the following:

If you see someone fall in front of you, yell, "Down!" and assume a protective stance, staggering your feet for balance and bringing your arms up to protect your heart and lungs. This can potentially save you from thousands of pounds of pressure.

If you do fall, try to get back up.

If you can’t get back up, protect your vital organs by lying on your side and covering your head with your hands.

You are wasting your time. All you need to remember is Oke Afa canal in 2002 and how people dragged others to die with them. You don't want to know the vital organs of your body that is being stepped on when there is a stampede. Even the strongest man with survival skills will die.

Also never pray for war, that is when you will see the animalistic side of human beings. It is more important to pray for law and order because lack of order which is what happens in a stampede is unpredictable. People are not thinking with their brains or empathy during a stampede, the selfish nature of man comes out and they become animals.

The video makes no sense to me because he himself is not experimenting what he teaches. He should have do the test with over 1000 people and let see.

The best thing is to avoid over crowded place with no enough steward/security on ground.

Do not be in front

Which is counterintuitive since you are rushing for something
Re: How To Survive A Stampede (Video) by GanagiBitrus:
So Stampede is now a major threat to the survival of an average Nigerian?
Better advise people to avoid going to where free food is shared to disorganised crowds.
Re: How To Survive A Stampede (Video) by mariovito(m): 8:25am On Jan 01, 2025
Just don't be there

And if you happen to be there, don't be in the middle

Be in front or at the back

And if in front, best to be agile and nimble on your feet

The best way to survive a stampede is not being in the stampede in the first place. I hate being in crowds. There is always a danger of stampede. Always ensure you do everything possible not to fall down even if it means stepping on others. If you fall then sorry......

All this rules without grace is zero.
The best way is to avoid too much crowd

Re: How To Survive A Stampede (Video) by Ugolistikp: 8:28am On Jan 01, 2025
If you must be in a crowded space, try not to wear "Pams" , flip flops, slippers or any loose foot wears that can be easily removed from your feet if someone behind steps on it. Many people have been crushed simply because they wanted to quickly pick back their footwear that was removed from their feet by someone behind who mistakenly stepped on it.
If you must be in a crowded place, you should also wear comfortable clothing that could allow for free movements incase you need to get on your feet quickly when on the ground or you need to run.

In all, if you can, avoid being in the heart of any crowd or try to stay in a safe zone if you must.

Re: How To Survive A Stampede (Video) by adebayo201: 8:29am On Jan 01, 2025
Stamped is something you don't plan for. No matter how, one just need to avoid overcrowded place and stay close to an exist.

Also, it's not only food that can cause stamped. Electric surge, shouting, running without knowing what's happening, etc can cause stamped.

Moreover, it can happen anywhere. Church, mosque, stadium, school, playground, bank, market place, etc. It does not matter if the economy is good or bad.

Avoid overcrowded place, stay in close proximity to the exit or where you can quickly run away.

When stamped occurs, all the 1001 ways of escape go run comot your head because you just won't remember it again. No be exam wey you wan write.

Re: How To Survive A Stampede (Video) by golbe1972: 8:32am On Jan 01, 2025
The best way to avoid a stamped is reorientation, like we had it in the days of war against indiscipline of the then Buhari/idiagbon , then people developed the culture of queuing up in a crowded places.
