A SEAL Team SIX Member Reveals How To Escape A Kidnapping 

Kidnapper: *Watches video* Also kidnapper: *Takes notes*

I love keeping my razor blades in my shoes

The fact that 16 million people felt the need to watch this is heartbreaking.

I live in Mexico in one of the most dangerous states, I am a woman and I've always been afraid of being kidnapped on my way to school or work. So these tips really come in handy in an emergency case.

And remember most importantly that. *SWITCHING TO YOUR PISTOL IS FASTER THAN RELOADING*

Next video: How to escape kidnappers that watched this video

Human trafficking is very real, when traveling abroad in Italy I almost found myself victim to it. In those situations any amount of preparation could be what saves you - the more the better.

Going to the grocery store... better slap on the fake scar.

Me: Your fly is undone. Kidnapper: Looks down. Me: Run like hell.

I really didnt want to watch this but my brain was like: you never know

How to escape a kidnapping: *Just be built different*

*I get abducted Abductor: "I will hold you for ransom!" Me: *fake coughs Abductor: *let's me go...

Guy: reveals how to escape kidnapping Kidnappers: so this is what we do wrong.

Why did you take so long to get ready? ME : I was putting on my fake scar incase I get kidnapped

If I see someone is following me, especially in a doggy area... I walk on the middle of the road, you instantly draw attention to yourself because everyone looks at you as wtf you doing.I was mugged four times in the same neighborhood within 2 years after doing this... I haven't been mugged.. if I feel threatened at all by a person and something doesn't feel right, if that person comes close I scream very loud (which I've done and the guy ran away, or find a way to draw attention to myself) hardest thing to do if you an introvert... draw attention... scream, kick things, make it difficult for someone to come near you without anyone noticing

There's no such thing as a former navy seal, once a navy seal always a navy seal.

Instructions unclear. I just kidnapped myself

If someone’s trying to kidnap you just say “no”, then they legally aren’t allowed to continue

I'm 60 years old. I have taken self defense but this is something that I never learned. Thank you

I still can't get the handcuffs off till today

"In a life or death situation, the pain and the blood this causes isn't going to matter. Freedom is what matters." I'm gonna apply this meta level philosophy to all aspects of life.

Me:* In a quarantine, staying at home.* RU-vid: Imma recommend you this in case someone kidnaps you from your house.

As an investigative journalist it was recommended for me on my notifications. Great to refresh my former skills. Stay safe one and all.

6:00 True story.. My bf is a bounty hunter, and he catches so many fugitives just by hanging out around stores that the suspect has been known to frequent..

"The pain and the blood that this causes isn´t going to matter. FREEDOM is what matters" That´s the most American comment I´ve ever heard

He looks like a typical commander in Call of Duty games.

Thank you so much for making this

another way to find out if someone is following you is to take 4 right turns, walk about 5 meters and then turn right, walk another 5 meters, turn right again, ect... if the person copies you, then your being followed and NEVER walk to your house, go to a nearby shop and stay there for a bit.

This is literally a “how to escape the police”

He acts like people just have a handcuff key laying around

This has been in my watch later for about 2 years and now I'm finally watching it

Be safe and "Good Luck" out there !

Me : "I'm very sure that no one will ever kidnap me" My brain : "WATCH IT, WATCH IT !"

watching this because my anxiety said i was going to be kidnapped

Seriously this video is eye opening things I have never ever thought of. This could save someone's life

RU-vid sometimes becomes soo caring recommending me these videos!! Awww!!

If the person who kidnaps you doesn’t show up for 15 minutes your legally aloud to leave

If you’re being kidnapped, just pretend to have a seizure, the kidnapper won’t know what to do and you’ll cause a scene, drawing attention, which will cause the kidnapper to run away

I recommend carrying a .44 You know, that is much more reliable

Thank you so much for the tips!

Finally RU-vid recommendation is useful for once

Was very useful Thanks for posting this video ❤️

I have a feeling this is one of those easier said then done moments...

This video has given me SO much anxiety

If you suspect you’re being followed, make 4 right turns or 4 left turns. If they are still behind you, you’re being followed, because you just drove in a square (circle)

This guys so informative. Brilliant

Are you even human ? No. You are a superhero 😍

Me: *Doesn't believe I'll ever get kidnapped Also Me: *Watches the video just in case

*Fun Fact: You didn't search this, this searched you*

Thank you! This helped me so much

Thanks for the info!

Good. Now tell me how to escape jail.

Plot twist: he is actually a dangerous criminal and teaching us and his friends in prison how to escape a cop

More useful than most stuff on buzzfeed

Just prepping for 2021

“ nah sister, you ain’t getting me to no *secondary location* “

This guy is a badass

I can't imagine hanging out with this dude. Paranoid level insane. Background check all day.

Thank you for teaching me all this

Who else is watching this inside a trunk after being kidnapped

Did he just tell every criminal watching this how to escape handcuffs

Or just conceal carry, oh wait, this is buzzfeed

"If you're positive that you're being followed call 911" ME WATCHING FROM AFRICA:🌚🌚🤷🏽‍♂️

Just carry a handgranade and tell the kidnapper "if you dont let me go, we will blow". Works 9/10 times. Trust me.

this makes me even more paranoid than i already am but at least i learned something

Dude: teaches me how to escape a trunk Me: Laughs in El Camino

Thank you!!! Next time it happens..... I'll now know what to look for to stop them escaping.

Watching this and thinking about being in a situation where I'd actually have to use these skills gives me so much anxiety...my heart goes out to those who have had to go through this :(

my family: why are you taking all those stuff with you me: I will be kidnapped today so i need it

I plan on eventually watching ALL these videos!!!

Great! I can finally add more to my collection

“Don’t try this at home” where tf else am I supposed to try it?

This video made me kidnap myself.

ty so much I really enjoyed this educational video. im sharing it w my single friends

Five minute crafts did one of these vids I would trust this one 1000% more

When you watch the video but dont get kidnapped _Years of academy training wasted!_

I bet there are thieves watching this video to step up their tactics.

Thank you and God bless you.

How could people dislike this video? like seriously he's giving good tips and you don't need to be some genius to do them.

Nobody: Me: just in case

good way to start 2018 with these skills, thanks dude. hopefully I won’t get kidnapped this year

I can just imagine the kidnappers watching this video making sure we don't escape 😅

I wish no one had to go through this, god bless 🙏🏻💞♥️

Kidnapper: Prepare to be kidnapped Me: Not So Fast You've Activated My Trap Card

MORE GOOD ONES! if you’re in the trunk of a car, kick out the tail lights. You could stick your arm out and possibly reach for the handle of the trunk, OR you could just keep your hand stuck out. You could wave it around rapidly and someone driving behind the car will see it and call the police. If someone puts you in a chokehold, swing your leg at their crotch. This should stun them enough to get away, even if it only weakens their grip a little bit. Alternatively, you can stick your fingers in the attacker’s nose and then push upwards hard. If someone is trying to force you into a vehicle, stretch all your limbs out. It’s much harder for the kidnapper to shove you into a small space when you’re making yourself larger than it. If the kidnapper put you in a regular seat of a car, don’t bother buckling in. That would only slow down your escape. If the attacker puts their hand over your mouth, bite their finger or hand as hard as you can! If someone is attacking you or grabbing you, always aim for the groin, eyes, and throat. Claw their eyes out, choke them, and smash their crotch. Even if the attacker is female, a blow to the breast or crotch should still hurt a lot. If a man is orally raping you (or about to), bite his penis as hard as you can WITHOUT drawing blood. If you draw blood and it gets in your mouth, you could contract an STD they may have. Also grab one of their testicles, twist, and then pull hard. Always let a loved one know where you’re going and what time you should be back. Try to always carry a weapon with you. Whether it be a gun, pepper spray, a pocket knife, a taser, etc. Even a simple blade could save you. And take a cell phone everywhere. If you’ve been abducted, turn it on silent so they don’t know you have a phone with you. Always be LOUD! Break windows, scream, yell, smash stuff, and break down doors. If someone is stalking you with their car, turn and run the opposite direction of where it’s facing. It takes time to turn a car around. Then run through tight alleys, hop over fences, etc. If you’re locked in a room or in a basement, try everything you can to escape through a window, break down a door, pick a lock, etc. Also try flickering the lights over and over to attract attention outside. You could even try it in Morse code. It’s pretty much not used anymore, but it’s worth a try. SOS in Morse code is 3 short, 3 long, 3 short. (...- - - ...) flicker a light quickly 3 times, turn it on and off slowly 3 times, then flicker it quickly 3 times. Also::: Don’t spent your time worrying or being paranoid. Being abducted is extremely rare, especially by a stranger. If you have a violent ex or someone else you know, the best thing is to report all their crimes to the police. If you’re still close to someone who might abduct or attack you, hide tools in your and their car. A razor blade, a hammer, etc. Remember to hide useful tools in the trunk of the car. Maybe even an emergency cell phone! Take a piece of paper and write a note to emergency services. Something like “John Smith is my ex and he routinely stalks me and I feel he might be a danger to my safety. His address is ____. If I am to ever go missing, please consider him as a suspect.” Then, hide that piece of paper in your bedroom, but easy enough for a cop to find when one is searching your house for clues after your disappearance. Perhaps under your bed, in a drawer, or in your closet. If someone is following you, go into a public place like a grocery store and call the police. If you’ve ever been a victim of a crime, just remember that it wasn’t your fault at all. The fault lies solely on the criminal. Good luck everyone and stay safe! ❤️

Kidnapper: Now I know how you can escape

This seriously made my heart race.

Instructions unclear, kidnapped myself and got locked in a room.

If someone tries to kidnap you. *Just say no* Kidnappers can't legally kidnap you if you don't want them to.

Thanks for making such videos. It really gave me knowledge and power. Thanks allot....

Prisoners who got a phone for one day: ohhhhhhhhhh YEAAAAAHHH!😏

This guy saved my life once, i was on my way home when i noticed 3 guys following me, one of them got close and actually punched me, so i broke his nose and made a run for it. Thanks a lot :D

See you all again in 2 years when RU-vid recommends this again.

Be ready all the time to take action

EXCELLENT!🇺🇸 Thank you.🍀

I never wake up in the morning and say “lemme hide these tools on my body before I head to work” guess that’s what this world is coming to...

Having been an Aid Worker in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can confirm this guy knows what he's talking about. In our training, they told us that if you see an opportunity to run, then you take it. That said, you're probably going to be tied up with a bag over your head, so i'm not sure how realistic some of these escape tactics are. His point about mixing up your daily routine, is hands down the best preventative measure.

I've been seeing myself in a dream in such situations and is surprised that what you say was the same I did in my dream to escape.

Thanks for telling all the kidnappers what to remove and check for
