We ALL know what to do if we\u2019re attacked by a rampaging bear \u2013 you play dead to distract it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s something like that, anyway.<\/p>\n

But what about more everyday dangers \u2013 from a twinge in your chest, to choking on a Monster Munch?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve picked out the best tips to help you live through ANYTHING (including a couple of, er, slightly less everyday dangers, such as a zombie apocalypse).<\/p>\n

Choking on something<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can actually perform a sort-of Heimlich manoeuvre on yourself if you really CAN\u2019T cough something up.<\/p>\n

Make a fist, place it just above your belly button, and bash it in really hard about five times.<\/p>\n

Plane crash<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fly economy.\u00a0An experiment by TV production company Dragonfly found that the more expensive seats at the front of a plane \u2013 where First Class usually is \u2013 are often torn out in crashes.<\/p>\n

Avalanche<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jump up the slope \u2013 and start swimming.<\/p>\n

Most avalanche victims trigger an avalanche themselves \u2013 \u00a0a quick jump upwards can sometimes take people above the fracture line and to safety.<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t work, swim upwards \u2013 the human body is denser than snow, so you\u2019ll tend to sink. Thrash your arms and legs so you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Heart\u00a0pains<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call an ambulance \u2013 then chew an aspirin. This stops blood clots forming, which can reduce the chance of a heart attack occurring.<\/p>\n

Severe bleeding<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t bother with a tourniquet \u2013 they can do more harm than good. Apply pressure to the wound, and raise it to the level of the heart to reduce blood flow.<\/p>\n

Zombie apocalypse<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Zombie<\/p>\n

Run for the hills.\u00a0Simply hiding inside buildings \u2013 or God forbid, running around smashing in zombie skulls with a baseball bat \u2013 is a terrible idea, Cornell University researchers revealed after running the first \u2018complete\u2019 mathematical simulation.<\/p>\n

The best way to survive is actually to run for country areas \u2013 in particular sparsely populated mountains (the researchers give the example of the Rockies, but the Cairngorms ought to do it).<\/p>\n
