Experts teach you 6 air disaster escape techniques

At 21:36 on August 24, 2010, an E190 aircraft from Henan Airlines Co., Ltd. (formerly Kunpeng Airlines) flying from Harbin to Yichun crashed when it arrived at Yichun Airport, including 5 crew members. There are a total of 96 people. 42 bodies of the victims were found at the scene of the accident, and the remaining 54 people were rescued and sent to hospital. There is no danger to life.

Between 1983 and 2000, more than 95% of people survived the crash. So what should you do so as not to be the unfortunate 5%? Australian professor Gerier studied 105 crashes and interviews with more than 2,000 survivors, and concluded six self-help methods.

1. Don't be separated from your family

Geril said that 50% of the passengers travel in groups, so his first advice is: "If you travel with your family, you should insist that the airline does not separate you. The reason is simple, if you sit in In different places in the cabin, you always want to be reunited before you escape, and this is very dangerous. "

For a family of four, they should sit together and be prepared to escape separately. "Maybe you have appointed an adult to take care of a child, then you are two groups of people, and each group should be prepared to escape from a different exit. Every child should know, which of the parents will be cared for in an emergency Myself. "

2. Learn to solve seat belts

This may sound ridiculous, but it is very important. Geril ’s research shows that even in the event of an emergency, even the crew will make mistakes on this issue.

"When you want to unbuckle your seatbelt, you will unconsciously think of a method to unbuckle your car ’s seatbelt. You will go to press the button, but on the plane, you need to open the latch. If you ca n’t unbuckle the seatbelt, the chance of escape It's very slim. "

3. Close to the exit

After evaluating the seats of 2,000 survivors, Geril came up with some rules of thumb. He said: "The average distance that survivors have to take when they escape is about 7 rows of seats, so you can choose to sit in this range. You also have to count how many rows of seats are located in the two nearest escape exits. So that you can find the exit in the dark. Why choose another escape port? Because the closest escape port is not always available. "

Do you need to choose to sit near the window or the passage? Geril said: "The aisle seat allows you to enter the aisle more quickly. In an emergency, time is everything."

4. Turn away from the flight direction

If the aircraft ’s seats are all rear-facing, passengers will be safer, but Geril said: “The problem is that most passengers are reluctant to turn their backs in the direction of flight.” On military aircraft, seats are often rear-facing of.

Gerir usually sits in the seat where there is no one opposite when traveling by train. He said: "Because in a collision, the person sitting in front of me will hit me and hurt me."

5. Bring a cigarette hood

If you can survive the collision, the fire and smoke are the ones to face below. "Smoke contains toxic gases. Too much inhalation will cause death." Geril will wear a cigarette hood when traveling, but he warned that if you want to bring such equipment, you need to learn how to use it. Otherwise it will waste time to wear it.

6. Listen to the attendant's explanation

After boarding the plane, you must listen carefully to the cabin crew's explanation and read the safety regulations. Before the crash, take the anti-impact posture according to the instructions of the flight attendant: the calf should be retracted as far as possible, beyond the knee vertical line; the head should be leaned forward, as close as possible to the knee. Geril said: "Anti-impact posture is an important method for passengers to learn, it can reduce your risk of being knocked out."
