4 Life-Threatening Situations Everyone Should be Prepared For
Life is uncertain, and the times we live in are uncertain. In this day and age where we aren’t able to predict what can happen to us, or the loved ones in our life, or the people we work with, it is more important than ever to find ways to prepare for a variety of situations that could threaten our life.
Granted, there is no such thing as a fool-proof way of dealing with such threats, but there are precautions you can take, in addition to having 911, or a service like 911 Industrial Response Inc, on standby. Let’s illustrate a few examples of how we can protect ourselves:
-
Car Accidents
Perhaps one of the most common forms of dangers is the threat of getting involved in an accident. There are a variety of types of accidents, notably those caused by an accident on our part, or an accident on someone else’s part. We can certainly take a variety of precautions for ourselves, including ensuring we are insured, we are sober, we are of a focused mind, and we are well-rested. Of course, that doesn’t safeguard against accidents from another. Thus, it’s important to take heed when we are driving, what time of day, what our level of alertness is, and the obvious — whether we are wearing our seat-belt or not.
-
Home Electricity
There are numerous dangers within our home based on the electrical appliances we use every day. Common devices such as a toaster kill dozens of people every year. This generally occurs by sticking a utensil in it to remove a jammed piece of bread. An electrical appliance accidentally dropped into a full bathtub can result in severe injury as well. Keeping yourself vigilant is key, and keeping protections and child locks is important. Best to unplug electrical devices when not in use as well.
-
Violent Crime
It is a great nightmare and violation to experience violent crime, both physically and psychologically. When walking on streets, consider the neighborhood, the time of day, and the location of street lights. If possible, carry your money and important items in different pockets, preferably in a security wallet you can tie around your neck inside your shirt or blouse. Consider even carrying pepper spray, and considering learning self-defense techniques, though keeping in mind the best defense is staying out of trouble and avoiding conflict in the first place.
-
Terminal illness
No matter how well we take care of our minds and bodies, we could eventually succumb to a life-threatening illness. The chances of acquiring such diseases are mitigated by a healthy lifestyle and regular visits to the doctor. However, more important than that is maintaining a healthy attitude and outlook. This not only can possibly lead to a recovery from the disease, but it also allows us to find the appropriate solutions to mitigate its effect on our overall well-being.
Taken as a whole, these preventative measures center on one principle: keeping a level head. When we are equanimous in our approach to threats, we are able to respond in the most effective manner possible. There are no guarantees in life, but there are solid approaches to handling life.
