Now, let’s dive into some of the most life-saving tips Jack shares:
1. If you see a service dog, follow it. The owner might be in danger.
2. Does your house smell like fish? It could mean an electrical fire is starting.
3. Keep the number 112 in mind when traveling abroad. It’s the international emergency number.
4. If you spot a stationary tornado, it’s likely moving toward you.
5. Think someone’s following your car? Make four right turns in a row. If the car is still behind you, head straight to a police station.
6. If you’re kidnapped, scratch the person. It’ll leave their DNA under your nails.
7. Buried in an avalanche? Remember: your saliva will follow gravity. Dig in the opposite direction to escape.
8. Smelling gas in your house? Don’t turn on any switches. It could cause an explosion.
9. Accidentally disturb a beehive or wasp nest? Don’t run for water. Keep running, and they’ll eventually stop chasing you.
10. Brightly colored animals, like some frogs, can be deadly poisonous. Don’t eat them.
11. If you’re drinking at a party and notice a salty taste, it’s time to stop drinking.
12. Red eyes in photos are normal, but a white eye could mean something’s wrong with your vision. Get it checked out.
13. Being chased by a polar bear? Drop your clothes on the ground. The bear will stop to investigate them, giving you a chance to escape.
14. If someone is stabbed, don’t remove the knife. It’s stopping blood loss. Apply pressure and call for help.
15. Spot square waves in the sea? They indicate powerful currents that could drag you under.
16. If you meet a mountain lion, never turn your back. Walk backwards instead.
17. If you see a wolf pack, don’t run. They’ll attack once you do. Stay still, and they’ll pass by.
18. The bowling pin machine is extremely dangerous. Stay clear of it.
19. Swallowed antifreeze or wiper fluid? Drink vodka to stop kidney damage and get to the hospital fast.
20. If a powerline falls near you, don’t walk away. Keep your feet together and bunny hop to safety.
21. To survive a falling elevator, lie flat on your back.
22. Carjacked? Drive into the nearest roadside barrier. The robbers won’t be wearing seatbelts, and they’ll get hurt.
23. If your hair stands on end, duck or cover. You’re about to be struck by lightning.
24. Feeling sick? Hum. It can help you fight off nausea and prevent you from throwing up.
25. If a crocodile drags you underwater, shove your fingers into its nose. It needs to breathe, and this will help you break free.
26. If you fall onto subway tracks, don’t crawl back. Find a crawl space to stay safe.
27. Avoid driving from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM on Saturdays. That’s when many drunk drivers are on the road.
28. Brown coconut milk can dehydrate you. Drink green coconut milk instead.
29. Thirsty but only snow is around? Don’t eat it. It can cause hypothermia. Wait for it to melt before drinking.
30. If an alligator is chasing you, don’t zigzag. It’s faster than you. Run for your life.
31. Spot a moose in the road? Avoid hitting it by swerving into a ditch. Moose are as tough as a brick wall.
32. Out of signal bars but need to call 911? Your iPhone can still connect to a nearby signal tower.
33. Need AA batteries but only have AAA? Use tinfoil to make them fit.
34. Stuck in the back of a vehicle? Disconnect the brake lights. When the cops pull it over, they’ll find you.
35. Always sleep with your door closed. Fire can’t get through a closed door.
36. Escaping a moving car? Keep one foot on the ground to slow down and reduce injury.
37. Smell cinnamon in your water? Don’t drink it. It’s often used to cover the scent of poison.
These 37 tips could be the difference between life and death. Remember them—just in case.
