Protect yourself when flying high........

Protect yourself when flying high.....

It might seem improbable, but it's possible to survive a plane crash. Follow these tips from safety experts to increase your likelihood of being among the 10 percent who walk away from an air disaster.

• Choose your seating - Experts consider two areas among the safest places to be seated if a plane crashes. One is right next to an exit door so you can quickly escape. The other is close to the wings where the plane's stronger structure may protect you.
• Listen to the attendant - The flight attendant's preflight briefing will help you locate exits, life preservers, and oxygen. Count the rows to the exits in front of you and behind you. This could prove helpful in the event you have to move through a smoky cabin with low visibility.
• Keep heavy items out of the overhead bins - The last thing you want in an emergency is to be hit by the jar of your Aunt Margaret's boysenberry preserves you've stashed in the overhead bin. If you have something extra heavy, it may be wise to check it at the counter.
• Pick nonstops, if possible - Most air disasters happen during takeoffs and landings.
• Stay attached - Keep your seat belt fastened whenever you aren't moving about the cabin. Many injuries occur when passengers are thrown upward and their heads hit the cabin ceiling.
• Wear natural fabrics - Natural fabrics such as cotton and wool are less likely to ignite in the event of a fire. Synthetic fabrics burn faster and then melt and cling to your body.

• Keep your blood circulating - Sitting for prolonged periods in a cramped space raises your risk of deep vein thrombosis, a clot that forms in a vein in your leg. The clot can travel to your heart and cause a heart attack, or to your brain and cause a stroke. You can prevent this from happening by keeping the blood circulating in your legs. On a long flight, walk around the cabin. When seated, flex your leg muscles.
• Use a major airline - If your plane carries more than 30 passengers, the company is required to meet strict federal safety regulations.
• Choose an airline that equips planes with lifesaving machines - Several airlines now carry a combination heart monitor and defibrillator- to produce EKGs and shock the heart back into rhythm-on board. Credited with saving the lives of heart attack victims, the devices are available on most American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines, and Quantas flights. American is also beefing up it's onboard medical supplies to include drugs to treat cardiac arrest, asthma attacks, psychosis, and seizures. Other airlines are expected to follow.
  

Outdoor Safety

Don't let Lightning strike once......

Every year, about 100,000 thunderstorms occur in the world.Complete with nature's spectacular fireworks display: lightning . Almost 100 people are killed by lightning annually when bolts of millions of volts of electricity connect with the ground-an event that occurs about 30 million times a year. And now, researchers believe lightning can kill people without apparently entering or leaving their bodies or without producing visible marks. Electromagnetic discharges from lightning bolts passing close to people without touching them can create a current in the body strong enough to stop the heart cold. To avoid lightning and lightning strikes, follow these precautions........

• Be aware of when lightning might strike.

Begin to move inside as soon as a storm looks imminent. Lightning can strike even before a drop of rain hits the ground. Nine out of 10 lightning-related deaths happen in the thunderstorm season-when people are more likely to be outdoors. And most deaths occur in the late afternoon or early evening.

• Stay low to the ground.

Lightning is attracted to anything that rises above the landscape, so never seek shelter under a tree or under an open structure such as an observation tower. If lightning zaps a tree or structure, the electricity is conducted downward-and into any bystander. If you're in an open field, crouch down or look for a low-lying ditch or ravine.

• Avoid heavy metal.

Stay away from golf clubs and carts, umbrellas, and tools. Metal fences are also dangerous lightning magnets. If you are on bike or tractor, get off and move several feet away.

• Stay away from electrical conductors inside your house.
  

For the best protection, install lightning rods on your roof. When lightning hits a house without lightning rods, the current can travel through telephone wires or plumbing. During thunderstorms, avoid the telephone, plumbing, fireplaces, windows and electronic appliances ( which should be turned off ).

• Stash that cellular phone.

Cellular phones are lightning attractors. Don't use yours during a thunderstorm if you are near open areas outside or are near a window.

Travel Safety...........

Avoid drivers who have been drinking...

You know they're out there. the newspapers are full of sad stories about how a drunken driver killed a whole family on the way to grandma's house - or how a carload of young people died on the night of their prom. More people were killed in alcohol-related crashes in the road, almost half of all motor vehicle deaths. And alcohol and speeding go hand in hand. More drivers involved in fatal crashes were not only drunk but also speeding. You can lessen your chances of becoming a fatal statistic if you stay off the road at peak accident hours. three out of four of the fatal accidents that involved speeding, drunken drivers occurred between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m.
Whenever you travel, watch for the warning signs police officers use to spot drunken drivers. Steer clear of anyone who appears to be doing the following.

• Turning with a wide radius
• Straddling the center or lane marker
• Almost striking an object or vehicle
• Weaving or swerving
• Following another vehicle too closely
• Braking erratically
• Accelerating or decelerating rapidly

Don't drive drowsy........

Sleepy drivers cause about 4 percent of all fatal crashes each year and 31 percent of crashes that are fatal to the drivers of commercial trucks. That these numbers are vastly underestimated.
Pull off the road immediately and find a safe place to sleep before continuing your journey if you recognize any of these sleep-deprived signs.

• Your eyes are closing by themselves or going out of focus.
• Your head doesn't stay up.
• You keep yawning.
• Your thoughts are disconnected.
• You forgot what you did during the last few minutes.
• Your driving deteriorates-you drift between lanes or off the road, tailgate, or run red lights or stop signs.
