Instruction manual
1
If you fell into the crowd and the stampede started, then do not try to get out of it.
2
Being in the crowd, you need to choose the safest place: further from the center, stands, metal fences, garbage containers, large objects, aggressive people. Try not to approach tall people and people with bulk bags.
3
Be sure to remove your hands from your pockets. Fasten all the zippers and buttons on the clothes, get rid of the bag, the camera on the neck, scarf and other objects that can cling to anything. Take off your high-heeled shoes.
4
Take measures to protect the chest from squeezing: take a breath, bend your elbows, spread them apart, raise your shoulders. Put your elbows behind your back to receive blows from behind. Press your chin to your chest.
5
Do not oppose the crowd. When moving, lean on your entire foot. Legs should be slightly bent at the knees. During movement, do not grab your hands on the surrounding objects: the fence, trees, lampposts - can break.
6
Do not bend over the fallen thing.
7
The main task in the crowd is to try not to fall.
8
But if you still fell, then try to immediately rise. When standing up, do not lean on your hands. Act as if you emerge from the river, pushing off from the bottom: group, tighten your legs and jump sharply in the direction of the crowd.
9
If you can’t stand, lie on your side, bend your legs and press them to your stomach, close your chin with your palms, and protect your neck with your forearms.
10
If the crowd is dense and static, then you can try to get out of it with the help of such techniques: pretend to be drunk, show that you feel bad, that you feel sick. In a word, improvise.
eleven
Listen to the speakers in silence. Do not attract attention to yourself with a sharp tone of speech, a scream. Do not provoke the people around you by expressing your religious and political beliefs.
12
In a concert, in a cinema, in the stadium in case of panic, do not rush to aggravate your situation with your movement. Stop for a few seconds, evaluate the situation, make a decision and only then act.
Useful advice
Remember that the crowd is characterized by: stampede towards danger, a sharp increase in emotional background and suggestibility, unconsciousness of people's actions, their inappropriate behavior.
Walk around the crowd best; don’t show interest in events in it. Do not enter into any organization of doubtful sense. Do not accept calls to participate in protest rallies, marches, unauthorized meetings.
And most importantly - do not give in to panic, keep calm and calm.
