How to save yourself in a crowded trampling accident

No one could have imagined that the last news of 2014 would be such a tragedy. In the new year, we have mixed feelings to change our original posting plan to this article: The tragedy of the stampede has complex management and psychological factors, but also closely related to our safety education, safety awareness, self-help measures and first aid ability. Here, I synthesize some safety knowledge about trampling accidents, and hope it will be helpful to you. First of all, send a picture of the life-saving posture when you fall down inadvertently: 1.Cross your fingers to protect the back of your head and neck; elbows forward to protect your head. 2, inadvertently fall to the ground, the knees as far as possible to bend forward, protect the important organs of the chest and abdominal cavity, lying on his side. 3, in a crowded crowd, left hand fist, right hand holding the left wrist, elbows propped flat in front of the chest, forming a certain space to ensure breathing. The situation where a trampling accident is likely to happen 1.Many people are the basic reason for trampling accidents, which often occur in schools, stations, airports, squares, stadiums and other places where people gather; the time of occurrence is common in festivals, large events, parties and so on. 2, when the crowd is more concentrated, someone in front of the fall (or just squatting down to tie their shoes), the crowd behind did not pay attention, did not stop, a stampede occurred. 3, the crowd was frightened, panic, such as hearing the sound of explosions, gunfire, panic and disorderly situation out of control, in the disorganized and purposeless escape, crowded each other stampede. 4, crowd emotions due to excessive excitement (excitement, anger, etc.) and riots, a stampede. 5.Driven by curiosity, specifically looking for crowded places to explore the end, resulting in unnecessary concentration of people and trampling. Prevention and self-rescue methods of trampling 1.Do not play and play in the stairs or narrow passages; do not crowd, do not coax, do not create a tense or panic atmosphere when there are many people. 2.Try to avoid crowded crowds, and if you have to, try to walk at the edge of the crowd. 3.If you find a crowded crowd coming in your direction, you should immediately avoid to the side, do not panic, do not run, to avoid falling. 4, go with the flow of people, do not go against the flow of people; otherwise, it is easy to be pushed down by the flow of people. 5.If you get caught in a crowded crowd, be sure to stand firmly first, do not tilt your body and lose your center of gravity, even if your shoes are stepped off, do not bend down to pick up your shoes or tie your shoes. As soon as possible to grab a solid and reliable things slowly walk or stop, wait for the crowd to pass and then quickly leave the scene. 6.If you are unfortunate enough to be pushed by the crowd, try to get close to a corner, curl your body into a ball, and clasp your hands behind your neck to protect the most vulnerable parts of your body (as shown in Figure 1). 7.When walking in a crowd and encountering steps or stairs, try to grab the handrail to prevent falling. 8.In a crowded crowd, always be alert, and be prepared to protect yourself and others when you find someone in the wrong mood, or when the crowd starts to stir. 9.When the crowd is stirring, pay attention to your feet, never trip and fall, and avoid becoming a trigger for a crowded stampede. 10.When you find that someone in front of you suddenly falls down, stop immediately and call for help at the same time, tell the people behind you not to approach forward; divert the crowded flow of people in time and organize an orderly evacuation. First aid for others 1.After the trampling accident, on the one hand, call the police quickly and wait for rescue; on the other hand, before medical personnel arrive at the scene, seize the time to carry out self-help and mutual help by scientific methods. 2.In the rescue and treatment, we should follow the principle of saving the seriously injured, the elderly, children and women first. Judgment of the injury is based on: confusion, the call should not be more serious injuries; rapid pulse and weakness is more serious injuries; blood pressure drops, pupils dilated more serious injuries; there are obvious trauma, blood flow is more serious injuries. 3.When the injured person is found to be in respiratory and cardiac arrest, CPR should be implemented quickly. Suggestions on safety education for children 1.Safety education never stops, and should be combined with current events to educate children about safety. For example, after this accident on the Bund in Shanghai, provide safety education to children in time. 2.Tell stories, role play and other ways to explain to children the factors that may occur in a stampede, so that children can form an awareness of danger from an early age and consciously stay away from crowded places to reduce the chances of a stampede. 3. Teach children to be familiar with all the safety exits in the area they go to. 4.After a trampling accident, most children will have fear and no sense of security; a few will have self-blame and guilt. At this time, parents must be by their children’s side and spend as much time as possible with them. 5.Listen and understand the child’s feelings, including ideology, emotions and behavior; let the child confirm that he or she is currently safe and increase the sense of security. 6, teach your child to face bravely, tell your child that there are many things in life that are unknowable and more uncontrollable; encourage your child to release their bad emotions, you can use your child’s favorite toys or pets to accompany. 7, to avoid excessive interference with the child, including interviews visitation, etc.. If conditions allow, you can psychological intervention for the child with the participation of psychologists. 8, but do not comply with all, so as not to produce secondary benefits. Conclusion: Stampede, focus on prevention Serious stampede accidents have occurred in countries around the world. The most tragic stampede occurred in 1990 in Mecca, where 1,426 Hajj pilgrims were trampled or suffocated to death. When someone falls, the first reaction of those around them who see it is crucial. If those in the know had reacted quickly, maintained order on the scene in an organized manner and informed others, a serious stampede might not have resulted. However, the majority of people have a very weak sense of disaster preparedness, and the first reaction of people with poor alertness in case of danger is to go blank and do nothing, or even make more dangerous moves due to panic. Therefore, safety education and first aid skills, please start from each of us.
