After learning all these steps, i realized that the easiest way to survive a stampede is to avoid these crowded events, you wouldn't have recalled all these steps at the moment when you were getting pushed by crowds, risking your life for entertaining events are definitely not worthy.
Now: -Don't cook food cause you can start a fire -Don't go swimming cause you can drown -Don't drive a car cause you can get into a car accident See my point? Life is full of risk, but it doesn't mean that we should completely avoid things - we just need to know how to act in dangerous situations, act rationally
@@rudzwal2314 Well Sense you think your example applies look at what happened in Japan. There is some risks you HAVE to take and some you DONT need to take.
Just saw this on my RU-vid page after seeing the tragic Halloween crush that just happened in Itaewon Seoul South Korea. May the souls of those who died rest in peace and may God bring comfort to the bereaved families.
@@teddysachiigaming3188 do you think that would've made a difference? there is no way to survive a human stampede. these are tips, but you will most likely die. being crushed and stepped on? being at the bottom of a pile? someone on your leg, someone different on your arm, someone stepped on your head while your face is smushed against the concrete? then your lungs can't move anymore. yeah, good luck trying to even get in the fetal position.
Fully agree! Avoid danger from as long as there could b chance of danger! We all learnt now from this South Korea halloween stampede tragedy!😔 Truly sad! We still see in many places in many countries huge huge enormous crowd event!
I almost got stuck in the crowd lining a parade route. My survival instinct kicked in, and I was able to turn around and walk carefully in the opposite direction of the people walking toward me. I've never been in a crowd since that time.
One time when I was in high school, my teacher picked me and 30 other students to attend a big ceremony which I have forgotten what that ceremony is for. There are thousands of students attending this ceremony, and it was held inside a football stadium. The situation would've been alright if everything went according to the standard, but somehow out of 4 doors that's supposed to be open, only 1 was available, so under intense heat of the sun, hundreds of people were squeezing thru this one door. There were many students who chose to stay put first before going out, but there were just many more that are hungry, tired, dehydrated and sunburned students that just wanted to get the hell out of there, me unfortunately was one of them. As I squeezed thru the crowd with only less than half of my stamina remaining my brain told me that this is dangerous, so out of sheer luck and instinct I raised my hand, lock my finger together and made a circle in front of my chest and try to get as much air as I can while I surrender myself to the crowd. Thankfully nobody died there, and I can also get out with no injury whatsoever, but that experience was horrifying and since then I've never been near any stadium ever
I have never and will never put myself in a situation like this. Sure, I went to my share of concerts when I was young, but nothing even remotely compared to what's shown in this video. This is madness.
I wouldn't put myself there on purpose, but there have been times when people were cuaght in a crowd crush by surprised. It's always good to have this information.
Once I went to Mecca (not 2015 stampede) since I Muslim we had to find a place to pray and when the prayer called everyone was pushing trying to find space I got crushed since I was only 10 compared to 30 year olds no one died (I think) that was scary I hope none of us get in that type of situation
The best way to avoid stampede is to avoid crowds. Stampede and Crowd surge dont just happen instantly. It builds up overtime. The moment you see that more people are coming in, just get out.
Rest in peace to the people who’s lives were tragically lost at the Travis Scott AstroWorld concert. Some people in this world are savages I’m starting to lose hope
@@Lifeslikethis224 lol Covid isn’t even the problem here there were Covid testing stations inside the concert and most are young so they’re more than likely naturally immune so stop with the foolishness
@@user-pl3qi1qm8u stfu bch a virus is spreading and people are camping outside without maskes and eating outside leaving there trash and s on the floor the hll are you talking about foolishness your completely oblivious to what's going on thoses people sacrificed there selfs to see another human being
So sad watching this video just because this happened in Korea Rest In Peace to all the victims My condolences to all family and friends of the victims in the Korea incident
Unfortunately, none of us can predict where we are going to happen and when. This can occur in any public area. Think of subway during a rush hour. The advice to keep your hands in a boxer position using your elbows to make a distance was the most valuable. You cannot imagine how strong the body is when properly grouped, positioned. When I practiced some martial art, we were taught that lining your arm parallel to the floor with a proper standing position you can withstand double your weight with a single palm. And it worked. While the crowd is thick and moving, it is also flexible. That is why mostly women and very young people perished in Seoul, they were weaker((( How sad...
@@opheliawinfrey9501 that one I mentioned as an example was for keeping one at distance of your fully stretched arm, we did it as an exercise. I am not sure it will work in a crowd, whether with one or two arms, when your position is not stable and you are pushed from the back. You might break the arms, then. Just do like they say in the video, keep hands raised your chest level with fists at face level, like boxers do. It will make a distance for your lungs to breath and to protect your face. It is well explained in this video. It would be intetesting to try to imitate a stampede situation with two friends, one is pushing from the back while the other is blocking you at front. Will it work when you push forward with your palms, or a boxer position would work.... 🤨
Moving diagonally is the best advice I got. It will save your life. Also, be willing to get separated from your companions. We don't want to, but it is MUCH safer to both go with the flow. People clinging together in a crush are a huge danger and can start people falling.
Damn at this moment I was glad I've found this video after all of sudden I received news from my friend who living in seoul. Thanks to youtube for showing up this content in my recommendation so that many people could really know what need to do if they're in this situation including myself
This video pops up on my yt recommendation maybe cuz of what happened in itaewon. My deepest condolences to all of those people who lost their lives at this tragedy and i am praying for those injureds and survivors for your fast recovery. This is so shocking and devastating news to hear. Those people who just wants to have fun but then couldn't go home anymore😭💔
This being recommended right after the itaewon incident reminded me of how we really need to learn about all these survival tips, because life is unexpected.
Very sound advice. On all counts. The idea to avoid choke points is easy to see but easier to not think of. And moving diagonally to get to the edge of the crowd and escape is brilliant. It's not always feasible to avoid crowds, so this s very smart advice, thanks for sharing.
MOving diagonally is FANTASTIC in any crowd. Also, and I know this goes against your instinct, allow yourself to get separaetd from companions. meet up later. People clinging to each other can start a crowd collapse, and that's where the fatalities happen.
@@loosilu great idea. I tell my family any time we're at an event where we get separated -- that if we're ever separated, go to this location XYZ and wait. In the worst catastrophes that may not work, but in almost all cases it will.
@@TheThinkersBible Same here. Honestly, it takes away a lot of panic if you know you will meet later. The most important thing in a crowd crush is to move freely with the flow. For smaller people like kids or petite women, I'm not sure. I think I'd try to get them carried over the crowd. A kid at the bottom of a collapse has no chance.
I'm confused about moving diagonally to the edge of a crowd yet having to avoid walls and barricades because of the crowd crush... Can someone explain?
I was in a stampede before, and i kept my calm, go with the flow, and find an oppurtunity to get away with it. Here i am survived and since that day i never involved myself in crowded places.
I was in a situation like this one during a music festival about 15 years ago. A popular band came out from one of the stages, they came unannounced and people went crazy running against the fence like rabid dogs. I was hanging near there with my high school friends and somehow we ended up dragged when this happened. It remember being pushed left to right, then backwards like a damn wave and I wasn’t in control of my movements which was frustrating at the moment. A lot of people was already desperate to get away and that’s when we started falling over each other. I remember having a few people over me and at the beginning I was in complete fear and desperation and maybe 15 seconds later everything went quiet and I felt peace and calm. I think I finally let go when one of my friends got to me and pulled me out of the pile of people. I was so so lucky to came out alive and without any kind of injury. I’ve never been to a concert where I don’t have a seat since then and I don’t know if I ever could do it again.
I absolutely had no idea of crowd crush and how it is actually fatal. All I know is stampede because people lost their balance and run over by crowds is hazardous and fatal but no idea that the main cause is people getting squeezed to d3@Th. But now because of Itaewon tragedy and seeing what happened I eventually realized that I’ve been on the same situation before I know how does it feel for a girl my size to get push by the crowd in a manner that you have no control over. I pray for their souls to rest in peace. May this be a lesson to everybody.
It's never too late to learn how to survive these situations.. sure after what had happened in Itaewon, S.Korea on Halloween I grew more caution and anxiety towards crowds and crowded places.
I had an experience back in 2018 at a music festival in our place. We started okay and fine at the line for entrance and the crowd was chill. But when someone says they will started letting people in, the pushing and crowding begun and It is the worst feeling of my life. It is difficult to breath, We are beside the barricade, the bouncers are the only one who pushing the barricade not to fall, my friend is panicking and we're begging for our life shouting at the back to stop pushing, I was thinking to myself that time that this is what stampede feels like and I might die but thankfully the bouncers and staffs did all they can to calm down the crowd. Praise be to God!
It's crazy because it seems that common sense leaves them the moment they feel excitement. I've been to a concert before and the artist is usually at the front right but in one song the artist came to the back as a surprise to sing one song so we turned around but the moment that that happened everyone started pushing to get closer to the artist and it was so frustrating because we should be going by the first come first serve but some people be selfish unconsciously I guess
I’ve been in this position before and passed out after. I made it out by moving backward in any direction possible, linking up with other people who desperately needed to get out. I did this as soon as my feet weren’t touching the ground.
@@kingseekerbackup3085 yeah, the pressure from all sides lifts you up. I got my footing luckily because I forcefully pushed through while letting people know I felt sick. That’s when other people started to follow me out because they were scared too.
Once I was in Lisbon, Portugal and it was big street parties in long time ago. Pretty too crowded and crazy. I was so lucky that I can escape from it because I rather close to exits area. Honesty, it was not funny at all because there are so crowd and dangerous. I advice you guys that stay out of crowd as possible but unless if you guys look for exits area and make sure if something happens then escape to exits better than sorry! Stay safe and have fun!
What a timely video in my reccomended.. I remember me and my friend being in a stampede on a basketball game.. And the worse part is, we're trying to exit while the people are trying to get in..
Paul, I'm an introvert too. But we DO have to go out sometimes, right? Grocery store. Trip to a shopping district. Rare trip to the airport. Never know when some shit will go down and bam! Human mob. Out of the nowhere.
This just came up in my suggestion box, and just after the awful Halloween tragedy in Seoul, 😞😢 R.I.P. to all those lost. But I just wanted to add that I remember being at a few concerts, and being shoved and stomped on even when I was in a corner, which lesson learned, however at one concert, I yelp for help because I just got out of hospital just to see this one band I’ve waited so long to see, and this women kept punching me for no reason, and then encouraged her daughter to do the same. I asked these women to stop multiple times, I wasn’t even in their way either, and I told them that this was a wish that I had made that came true, and that I had to return to hospital afterwards for more treatments. Anyhow...the singer stopped the concert and said for all to be courteous or they were going to end the show if people didn’t stop shoving and hurting others. It was truly amazing that this singer had done this, thinking of others safety was inspiring, and I have more respect for this artist now. But I’ve learned that the best place to be safe is away from the crowds, this woman and her daughter caused severe bruising and I could have bleed out because my platelets were low from CLL, and the police showed up looking for them, and I didn’t want to press charges because I just wanted them to learn from their actions. Well to think about it, maybe they learned, but I think they may have learned an even more valuable lesson when others started staring at them too for almost stopping a concert for their behavior, especially hitting someone that was in the supposed safety zone behind the barrier. So it was quiet obvious when these women lashed out, they had to reach over and it was filmed, but I pray that this mother and her daughter changed their actions for future shows they attend because they could have been charged with A&B even without my consent. It was the officers call. I asked politely to let these women learn from this. Also, even those in mosh pit looked at them with shame too. But best way is to keep distance and don’t shove each other, unless one chooses to be in a mosh pit, that is their choice, however in crowds, stay far to the sides or back away where there is plenty of breathing room. Safety is most important thing, and leaving room for others...to think of a bubble space and stick to it. Never panic either, that only makes things so much worse....
I was at the Mina Stampede 2015 in Mecca, the deadliest crowd crush of the modern times. It was horrifying. People go mad and it feels like the end of the world where everyone is panicking and trying to survive without considering the people suffocating underneath them. No words can describe how it felt. You have to witness it yourself.
In the past, when I went to concerts, I always wanted to be close to the stage but now I think I'll stick to the seating areas at the side of the arenas. Then again, this could still happen after the show when everyone is leaving the venue
that happened to me and my niece while we were leaving the venue, there was only ONE way to exit after the festival and everyone of course were walking on the same direction ... it was HELL nothing happened because everyone weren't pushing . but i've been front of the stage once in a festival and i had to be removed from there because people were pushing too much that i couldn't breathe. since then i never tried again to be in front row , and since what happened this year at the festival with just one way exit i don't wanna ever go again to any kind of festival .... scary!
This got on my recommendation after the second stampede incident happened just in October alone. And seeing the 'newest' comments too, there are people that actually came after that stampede in Indonesia and now the most recent is in South Korea. Stay safe, everyone
Watching this bcs of the Itaewon tragedy. Unfortunately there are some unavoidable things, as the area is already a small alleyway packed with hundred thousands of people. Better to avoid crowds. Look for other public spaces. Don't be FOMO for not going to a certain place.
Please watch my video about Einstein's brain.. Also watch 10 amazing facts about India you may not know and things you should never google.. 🙏please watch
this video being recommended after the halloween incident that happened in South Korea.. may the victims rest in peace and sending my deepest condolences to the victim’s family members 🤍
I remember almost getting crushed to death at my school. The most terrifying moment of my life, I honestly can’t believe how much pain and terror these people went through
I have been in a human stampede when i was a kid my mom saved my life and i almost got crushed but now with this vid and even this channel i can save my own life thanks
I'm an introvert but I still enjoy going out to wild events. I rarely talk to anyone and barely have friends but I even go to music festivals alone and find them thrilling.
154 lives were lost in a human stampede during a Halloween celebration in Itaewon, Seoul just 2 days ago. Please pray for the victims & their loved ones.
Being in many of these, they are absolutely terrifying and your life completely flashes before your eyes. I no longer go to concerts or festivals. It’s not worth it. These crowds are extremely dangerous.
Who's here in October 2022 after the deadly crush stampede in South Korea? R.I.P. to the over 150 who died, and God bless and keep their family and friends.
That would be hard in a situation where you don't have any upper hands like the horrible tragedy in itaewon Korean stampede on Halloween night It was slippery and they were on a hill. I think it's high time we really start taking crowd control very seriously after several incidents in the past few years. People are just having a good time and then deathly accidents like this occurs. My condolences to the ones who never survived a stampede
Agreed. On a hill it was much more dangerous. They are goint to have to restrict access to that sttreet. One good thing about COVID is that we have practice doing restricted access.
“dont panic” that is easier said than done. i was sick in the hospital with covid and was beginning a hallucination for the first time. the nurse was like dont panic. lady i thought i was dying! can’t help but to panic.
"What if they had normal judgment?" 1.They will not head into a large crowd. 2. They wouldn't push each other. 3. They wouldn't dance by the dead body. 4. They wouldn't have a Halloween party just a day later in a city where many people died. ❗️This is the best example of a selfish group that everyone should be alert to.
People often forget the simple fact that the average weight of human body is about 60 to 80 kg. Everyone planning to go to large events should watch this video!!
October begins with a stampede in Kanjuruhan Stadium at Malang, Indonesia. and it ends with a stampede at Itaewon, South Korea R.I.P to those who lost their lives...
Another really helpful advice is to not let yourself get pushed into a wall. Sometimes being in the middle of the crowd can be scarier, but if you are on the edge, near a wall, you will be crushed against the wall and left without air. I learned this when I survived a human stampede. If you start to see people pushing others in a tight space I would recommend getting out before it gets out of hand.
