How to Wrestle Free From an Alligator: 4. If its jaws are closed on something you want to remove (for example, a limb), tap or punch it on the snout.
Though it's being marketed as a "humorous" title--after all, it's unlikely you'll be called upon to land a plane, jump from a motorcycle to a moving car or win a sword fight--the information contained in The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is all quite sound. Authors Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht consulted numerous experts in their fields (they're cited at the end of the book) to discover how to survive various and sundry awful events. Parachute doesn't open? Your best bet for survival is to hook your arms through the straps of a fellow jumper's chute--and even then you're likely to dislocate both shoulders and break both legs. Car sinking in water? Open the window immediately to equalise pressure, then open the car door and swim to the surface. Buried in an avalanche? Spit on the snow--it will tell you which direction is really up. Then dig as fast as you can. Each survival skill is explained in simple steps with helpful illustrations. Most stress the need to be prepared--both mentally and physically. For example, to escape from quicksand, you will need to lay a pole on the surface of the quicksand, flop on your back atop the pole and pull your legs out one by one. No pole? No luck. "When walking in quicksand country, carry a stout pole--it will help you get out should you need to."
Hopefully you'll never need to know how to build a fire without matches, perform a tracheotomy or treat a bullet wound. But in the words of Survival Evasion Resistance Escape Instructor "Mountain" Mel Deweese, "You never know." --Sunny Delaney

Kundenrezensionen
Ever wondered how those criminals on COPS manage to ram police cars without killing themselves? Read this book! You'll learn that the first step is to try to disable the air bag so it won't obstruct your view after the impact. Planning on a trip to the everglades where you'll be up to your a** in aligators? Check out the "How to Wrestle Free from an Alligator" section. Those with a strong stomach can learn how to perform an emergency cricothyroidotomy. (that's a tracheotomy to those of us without a medical degree)
If you have a 13 year old who hasn't found a book interesting enough to read, this is the book. Beware of introducing it to 7 year olds unless you want to introduce them to the emergency ward. It's one of those rare books that can inspire hours of laughter and conversation and which crosses the gender and age barrier with no problem.
So why is this book listed in the humor section? Well, imagine asking these questions with a straight face-- "How to survive a bull attack". "How to win a sword fight". "How to jump into a dumpster". Or imagine someone asking you these questions and honestly expecting a quick, helpful answer. You'd laugh. But the authors of this book didn't laugh. They actually asked the experts and found the best way to increase you odds of surviviing some of life's nastier surprises. While there is probably no certified "expert" on how to beat off an attacking great white shark, the advice given is as good as your gonna find, and if it increases your odds by 1%, well, that might be enough to save your bacon.
It's fascinating reading, and not at all silly. You may never have to jump from a motorcycle into a moving car, but you may find yourself lost in the woods on a cold day, and this guide gives good, simple advice on how to make it through in one piece. And if you ever have to jump from a bridge into a river (always a real possibility here in Pittsburgh) knowing that you should point your toes and clench your buttocks prior to impact may save you some real unpleasantness.
All in all, a kinda useful and definetely interesting book. I wouldn't spend six hours a day memorizing the whole thing and lie awake at night wondering if TOMORROW might be the day you'll be forced to beat back a mountain lion, but to be sure it's an entertaining read.
