Ways to Stay Alive When Worst Happen



Filed under : Travel Tips

Overcoming adversity comes down to a combination of factors. Here’s how to travel tips:

1. Plane Crash. Travelers normally feel or no doubt crossed this question in mind during a bumpy flight. So, questions such as where is the safest place to be if the plane goes down and is it in the front of the aircraft or the rear?

According to Professor Ed Galea of the University of Greenwich in England, follow the Rule of Five. He adds, that the safest seats on a plane are within five rows of any exit. That’s the typical cutoff point between life and death in a crash. The number 1 safest seats are in an exit row or one row away.

2. Hotel Fire. Most fire departments use ladders that, at their maximum, can extend around 80 feet into the air. Thus, in order to be able to climb out of a building’s window and onto a truck’s ladder, one should be on or below the seventh floor.

3. Hospital Admission. If you need to go to the hospital, weekdays are much safer than weekends based on a research study in Toronto by Dr. Chaim Bell. According to the researcher, weekends have lower staffing levels and presense of workers who are inexperienced and less familiar with the procedures and patients.

4. Car Crashes. The uncomfortable hump in the backseat of a car is the spot where no one wants to sit, but experts say that it’s the safest place to ride in a car. For drivers, the vehicle to avoid are those cars with dark paint colors. In a study, Australian researchers found that white cars were less likely to be involved in accidents than those of any other color.
