*Warning - Graphic Content* *Viewer discretion advised* This is not for shock value but to educate. Hopefully as a result of the video you’ll take away some very important lessons. 1. Situational Awareness - stay alert and watch the body language of those around you. Why is someone walking over to you? Are they walking over in a defensive manner? Are they locking eye contact with you or looking somewhere whilst using their peripheral vision as they approach? What are their hands doing? What space and escape routes are available? 2. Deescalation - First and foremost ‘walk away’. To many people stand and engage in petty arguments with strangers. You have no idea who they are, their motives and what they’re capable of. Maintain space between you and the individual. If they approach step back whilst always looking for an exit. Use the right language and talk in a non-argumentative fashion. 3. ACT - In this situation you have seconds to respond, however ‘do not put yourself in danger’. In most ‘catastrophic bleeding’ training you’re told you have 3-5 minutes until someone will die as a result of a major heamorrage, however in this situation it took them less than 25 seconds to collapse and they’d be difficult to resusciatate if the emergency services weren’t there immediately. Ambulances can take a long time to arrive these days especially if they receive a report it’s a potentially violent incident, as they’ll ask the police to ensure it’s safe for them to attend the scene. 4. Be Prepared - Get trained in ‘stop the bleed’. If you have the ability carry a small bleed kit (inc. a tourniquet and Celox). If you haven’t got the kit to hand learn to use appropriate items to improvise, or know where the closest ‘bleed kit’ is. Learn ‘conflict resolution and situational awareness’. 5. “THE BIGGER MAN WALKS AWAY”. #situationalawareness #conflictresolution #stopthebleed #walkaway #beprepared #knifecrime
Evasion and deescalation saves lives. It’s better to walk away because you never know what extent people will go when offended. Be aware of your environment, watch people ls body language, watch their hands. Learn how to stop the bleed and other critical and basic first aid measures. Stay safe out there y’all🤙 Video reposted from @activeselfprotection
