Ultimate Life-Saving Checklist: 8 Tips You Must Remember

☑ 1. Stay calm to better judge the situation and consider your options.

☑ 2. Trust your instincts. If a situation feels wrong or unsafe, leave immediately if possible.

☑ 3. Know the safest routes and exits in your area to escape quickly if needed.

☑ 4. Keep a safe distance from your attacker and use any available objects as a barrier or weapon.

☑ 5. Alert others by shouting for help or making loud noises if you're in danger.

☑ 6. If your life is threatened, use any means necessary to hurt your attacker and escape. Target the eyes and groin.

☑ 7. If the attacker is unarmed and you sense an opportunity to escape, fight back. Prioritize not getting injured. If the attacker has a weapon, avoid resisting.

☑ 8. Act bizarrely to potentially avert an attack. Experts suggest behaving erratically, such as acting crazy, picking your nose, or throwing up.
