Be Prepared

Nobody wants it to happen but we must always prepare for a worst case scenario. The following are some of the things you need to do in the event of aircraft accidents:

• Wear sturdy and comfortable clothing
• Wear sensible shoes like lace-up shoes so it will be easy for you to exit the aircraft and prevent cuts and flammable liquids on your feet
• Sit at the tail end of the aisle nearest the exit which has a 40% higher chance of survival
• Always read the safety card and pay close attention to the pre-flight safety instructions
• Make a mental note on how many seats are there between your seat and the exit
• Always wear your seatbelt
• Consider placing a jacket on your lap which can be used as a heat shield in case of a fire or protect you from the cold if ever you do get out alive

Brace! Brace! Brace!

There are two standard brace positions you can take before impact. Crash test dummies were used in some studies on the brace position and prove that it will save your life.

Keep your feet well behind your knees to protect your legs. You will need them to bring you to the nearest exit. Keep this position until the plane has come to a standstill.

Act Fast

Forget your luggage and exit the plane as fast as you can. Studies show the actual impact is not what kills most of the passengers but what happens afterward like being burned to death or drowning. Research also shows you have about 90 seconds to exit the plane.

Get Far Away As Possible

Once out, you need to get upwind and be at least 500 feet from the aircraft. This will keep you from getting smothered in the smoke, heat from the fire and inhaling toxic chemicals.

Check Yourself For Injuries And Stay Put If Possible

Apply first aid procedures to any cuts, abrasions, broken bones and other injuries if you have the knowledge to do so. Refrain from moving too much if you have internal injuries so as to aggravate it.

These tips will give you a much higher chance of surviving a plane crash or any kind of aircraft accident; well worth it for any prepper! To see more great survival tips and tutorials, check out Survival Life.
