HOW HIGH VOLTAGE POWER WORKERS DO LINE INSPECTION
Your brain can't handle walking and using your phone at the same time — so look up.
Safety adviser Murali Krishnan points out that walking and using your phone both demand large amounts of cognitive effort.
Eliminate your car's blind spots by adjusting your mirrors properly.
Blind spots aren't inevitable in all vehicles, argues user Kristen Rush.
By adjusting your mirrors so that you barely see the edges of your own car, you can effectively eliminate the blind spots on the sides of the vehicle. The rear-view mirror should be able to locate any car behind yours. It's worth the few seconds it takes to adjust these when you get in the driver's seat.
Heat transfers faster through liquid than gas, so keep warm by staying dry.
There's a connection between being wet and getting cold, and vice versa for heat, says engineer Lia Lavoie.
Don't eat snow for hydration unless you absolutely have to.
Lavoie also points out that your body uses a great deal of energy to convert matter from one state to another.
So swim to an exit, then inflate your jacket to stay afloat.
You can perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself.
Few people realize that they don't need someone else to dislodge a piece of food from their throat.
Naman Mitruka explains how to perform the Heimlich on yourself:
Keep maximum-strength antihistamines in your wallet or bag when you go somewhere new.
You never know when you'll encounter something that you didn't know you're allergic to, especially when camping or hiking, according to user Ryan Borek.
Hitting someone with a stick could prevent them from fatal electrocution.
Ideally, you'll be able to turn off the source of the electricity in this kind of situation, Alex Elderfield explains. But if that's not possible, you can help the person (without getting electrocuted yourself) by breaking the circuit. The simplest way to do that is to find a long hard object, like a stick, and give the person a firm whack.
The limits of the human body tend to follow a "Rule of 3."
Survivalists have a shorthand for knowing their limits, Ruchin Agarwal says.
If cooking oil catches fire, turn off the burner and cover the pot.
Instead, you can put an oil fire out by cutting the heat and taking away the oxygen.
If you get stabbed or impaled by a sharp object, leave it be.
Pulling out an object that has been lodged in your body will increase the rate of blood loss, Thomas Mei explains. Instead, try to cover the wound and do anything you can to stop the bleeding until you find a medical professional.
Most deaths in house fires are caused by smoke inhalation, not burns.
Stay low to the ground to avoid breathing in too much smoke, says Harsh Sharma.
If you get hurt in a public place, single out one person for help to avoid the bystander effect.
A bright flashlight could be your greatest weapon against an attacker.
Instead of using mace or a weapon, an extremely bright flashlight can also effectively ward off a mugger, user Sanket Shah claims.
If you get lost on a hike, try to find a fence or stream.
Meanwhile, the fence will almost always lead to a road or a structure.
Use condoms as makeshift water storage.
Picking out exits ahead of time will cut through your "normalcy bias."
Downed power lines are lethal.
If a line falls near you, keep your feet together and jump or shuffle away. If you take normal steps, you're at risk of conducting electricity in your body since the current can flow through both legs separately.
