If the plane crashes, the chance of surviving is very small. But if the passenger knows in advance how to behave in an extreme situation, with a successful combination of circumstances, he has the opportunity to escape.
Instructions
Step 1
Before traveling, be sure to set yourself up so that if your plane crashes, you will not panic, because it is absolutely pointless. In such a situation, every minute is precious, and the right actions can save lives not only for you, but also for other people.
Step 2
Remember to listen carefully to the crew's briefing in case of an emergency. Rescue equipment is undergoing upgrades and you may be missing out on vital information about its use.
Step 3
Before the flight, take care of a small bottle of water (at least for a few sips), which should not be in your bag or luggage, but with you.
Step 4
When packing, always consider the flight route and season. If you will be flying over water, wrap your first aid kit and essentials in a waterproof bag. Choose brightly colored clothing for your flight to make your search easier in the event of an emergency landing.
Step 5
Please note that a lifejacket worn ahead of time can make it difficult for you to escape from a splashdown. If the water is cold, climb onto the liferaft as soon as possible, which will greatly increase the likelihood of your rescue.
Step 6
To protect yourself from fire in a possible fire, wear protective clothing, such as leather or wool, during the flight. When smoke is present, stay close to the floor and cover your skin with clothing as much as possible. Get out of the plane as quickly as possible.
Step 7
Adjust the harness. Make sure it fits snugly. In the event of an emergency, this will help you stay in your seat and protect yourself from possible injuries, as well as correctly use the oxygen mask, which automatically appears in the event of decompression in the cabin.
Step 8
In the absence of oxygen, there is whistling and pain in the ears, warming and tingling of the skin, pain in the intestines. Loss of consciousness may occur. So put on your oxygen mask quickly and don't look back at the other passengers. Remember to pull on the string leading from the mask to the safety valve, otherwise oxygen will not flow. Then start helping others.
Step 9
In the event of an emergency landing, wrap your head with any clothing, cover it with your hands and bend over to your knees. This will protect you from debris. Get out of the plane as quickly as possible before the fuel explodes. Use any emergency exits, following the crew and your own common sense.
Step 10
If your plane falls from several tens of meters, you have a chance to land softly enough. Take the flying squirrel pose: spread your legs and arms wide, arch your back, raise your head. This position of the body increases air resistance and slows down the speed of the fall.
Step 11
Avoid falling into the water whenever possible, or try to ensure proper entry into the water to cushion the impact. Keep the body in a straight and extended position, like a string. Place your hands behind your head. Land on land using the experience of parachutists. The legs should be bent and compressed, while the heels should be raised.
