AskReddit user u/luciflerfather3 recently requested that people contribute information that may save someone's life in an AskReddit post. Here are a few that you should keep in mind...
When the accelerator pedal becomes jammed or anything else causes unexpected acceleration, put the vehicle in neutral.
"It may seem self-evident, but it may be difficult to recall if it doesn't happen right away. When the key is removed, steering may lock or the brakes may be lost."

The number two is an example of this "Remember to itch the crap out of whomever is trying to get you, whether they're attacking you or dragging you away. You'll have their DNA beneath your nails if you do it this way."

3. "CLOSE THE DOOR TO YOUR ROOM WHEN SLEEPING. Being asleep while there's a fire means your room is safe from damage."

It's not necessarily true that a dog with a wagging tail is friendly.
–u/hayitsahorse
The number five is an example of this "Don't attempt to shatter a vehicle door glass in the exact center when you need to break one. Tempered glass should be used for car door windows since it is more fragile around the edges and may break if struck."
–u/waffleiron525
Sixth, "Flammability and inflammability are synonyms!!!!"
–u/Oznog99
The two words have the same underlying meaning: "capable of burning."
The number seven is an example of this "Keep your bearings if you get disoriented in the woods. You're increasing the search area while decreasing your odds of finding a route out."
"Also, make sure to let others know where you're going and when you plan to be back at your house. Tell someone to call for assistance if you don't get home by a certain hour."

The number eight is an example of this "Saturday night between midnight and 3 a.m. is when the majority of drunk driving fatalities occur. If at all possible, stay off the highways during rush hour."

9. As a general rule of thumb, "Get to high ground immediately if the water suddenly disappears/receives unexpectedly."
–u/MaliciousPorpoise
Number ten is the most significant number "This is coming from a former 911 operator. DO NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT PHONEING 911 IN A CRIME! (Unless McDonald's made a mistake with your order, in which case it's very dumb.) They will advise you to dial non-emergency if it is not an emergency. It's a crime in progress or a threat to public safety that constitutes an emergency."

Many chemical burns do not instantly elicit a reflex response of pain, unlike fire or heat burns.
"Because an industrial cleaner leaked beneath my rain suit, I lost a lot of flesh behind my armpits. The redness had subsided after I had washed my arm, but 30 minutes later, I discovered my shirt was drenched in blood. A quarter-sized chunk of skin had come off before there was any discomfort the next day.
Read the labels and use the suggested procedure to remove any chemical as soon as possible. However, using water isn't always the most effective solution."

Here's additional information on how to deal with chemical burns.
The following is a list of recommended reading "If you're going to vomit while scuba diving, do it into your regulator. Do not remove the regulator from your mouth since the natural tendency is to inhale after vomiting. Your bubbles will cause the vomit to escape the exhaust valve."
"We went on a "discovery dive," which we had no prior knowledge about. The good news is that we had only sunk a few feet before we realized what had happened. Perhaps it was one of those life-altering days..."
–u/OnTime4SocialEvents
Number 13 in a long list of numbers "The presence of purple beach flags indicates the presence of potentially hazardous marine creatures. Purple, on the other hand, is a little more esoteric."
–u/TheRabidFangirl
14. "To get out of a jam on thin ice, crawl or wriggle back to shore from the direction you came from while lying on your stomach. If the ce supported you when you were standing, it's likely to hold you now that your weight is spread over a larger surface area."
–u/Breakfastdestroyer
15. Make it a habit to check your nuts at least once a week, and don't be hesitant to see a doctor if you see anything unusual.
"Earlier this year, I had a fright that caused me to put off seeing a doctor until I could muster up the confidence. I knew it was stupid of me to delay, but I didn't want to go to the doctor to have him look at my balls. Fortunately, everything was OK, and I left the doctor's office feeling relieved.
Doctors have seen a lot of dicks over the years, and you're no exception."

"Trains travel quicker than they seem if you're on or near the tracks."

17. Finally, do the Heimlich Maneuver on yourself.
–u/buyongmafanle
"Coughing helps get air into your lungs, so it's a win-win situation. Always use caution while doing the Heimlich Maneuver on someone who has a coughing fit; you run the risk of pushing food farther down their throat, where it may get lodged and eventually become blocked. Coughing will be impossible if someone is really choking. You should then do the Heimlich Maneuver until they start coughing."
