Survival self-help guide for crowded trampling accidents

On the evening of November 22, local time, a severe trampling accident occurred in the Cambodian capital. The traditional water festival occurred. A swaying bridge at Diamond Island in Phnom Penh triggered panic crowded trampling. At present, more than 456 people have been killed and more than 700 injured. So, if this happens, how can we take self-help measures?

Which places are prone to trample? ——High personnel density and limited space

It is mainly a place with limited space and a relatively concentrated crowd, such as stadiums, shopping malls, narrow streets, indoor passages or stairs, theaters, bars, nightclubs, lottery sales outlets, overloaded vehicles, sailing cabins, etc. are hidden dangers. If the crowd's emotions become too excited for some reason, the people in it may be hurt.

What to do in case of crowds? ——Do not go against the current, stay away from the glass window

1. When you find that the crowd is crowding toward you, you should avoid it immediately, but don't run to avoid falling.
2. Remember not to go against the flow of people, because it is very easy to be pushed down to the ground.
3. If you have fallen into the crowd, be sure to stabilize your feet first. Remember to stay away from glass windows to avoid puncture due to broken glass.
4. Do not adopt forward posture or low center of gravity posture, even if the shoes are stepped on, do not bend over to lift the shoes or lace up.

Self-protection in crowded people

Self-protection actions when accidentally falling to the ground

What if there is a mess? ——Call someone for help immediately if someone falls

1. When it is found that someone in front of you suddenly fell down, stop immediately and call out for help at the same time, telling people behind not to move forward.
2. When carrying a child against a crowded crowd, it is best to pick up the child to avoid being trampled in chaos.
3. If you are pushed down, try to get close to the wall. Facing the wall, the body curled up into a ball, hands clasped behind the neck to protect the fragile parts.

What should I do if a trampling accident has occurred? ——Protect the brain, neck and chest cavity

1. Cross your fingers and fingers together to protect the back of your head and neck. Keep your elbows forward to protect your temples.
2. When you accidentally fall to the ground, bend your knees as far forward as possible to protect the important organs in the chest and abdominal cavity and lie on the side.
3. In a crowded crowd, use your left hand to hold your fist and your right hand to hold your left wrist. Keep your elbows open and lay flat on your chest to form a space to ensure breathing.

How to carry out self-help and mutual rescue if you have been injured? —— Immediately give artificial respiration to those who have stopped breathing

1. In the treatment, follow the principle of first saving the seriously injured, the elderly, children and women. The basis for judging the injury is: the unconscious, the person who should not respond is more serious; the person with rapid pulse and fatigue is more serious; the blood pressure drops and the pupil dilation is more serious; there is obvious trauma and the blood flow is more serious.
2. When it is found that the injured person's breathing and heartbeat have stopped, he should quickly do artificial respiration, supplemented by chest compressions.

What should I do if I encounter a crowd when driving? -Never drive through the crowd

1. Never drive through the crowd, especially when the crowd is angry, agitated or hostile. Because if the crowd attacks, breaks the windows and doors, and flips the car, you may be seriously injured.
2. If you can't break out of the enclosure at all, you should park your car, lock the door, and then leave to hide in an alley, shop or residential area. If you have no time to find a parking place, you should stop immediately, lock the door, and stay in the car quietly until the crowd passes by.
