how to jump from a moving car: 1 pull up the e-brake .. wont stop the car but should help slow you down 2 open the door 3 make sure you jump out at an angle that will take you away from the car : since your moving at the same velocity as the car your going to continue moving in the same direction as the car 4 tuck in your head arms and legs 5 aim for a soft landing (anything is better than pavement) 6 roll when you hit the ground how to maneuver on top of a moving train: 1 do not try to stand straight up stay bent slightly forward leaning into the wind (if the train is moving more than 30 mph its best to crawl on all fours) 2 if the train approaches a turn lie flat (the train may have guide rails to deflect water, if so grab on to them) 3 if the train is aproacing a tunnel lie flat there is usually about 3 ft of room 4 move your body with the rhythm of the train do not proceed in a straight line, spread your feet about 36 in apart and wobble from side to side as you move forward How to identify a bomb 1 if a carrier delivers an unexpected package or letter that is bulky inspect it for lumps bulges or protrusions without applying pressure 2 handwritten addresses or labels from companys are unusual check to see if the company exist and if they sent a package 3 be suspicious of packages wrapped in string 4 watch out for excess postage on small packages and letters, this means it wasnt weighed at the post office (its no longer legal to mail stamped parcels weighing more than 16 ounces from a mailbox) 5 watch out for leaks stains wires or excessive tape 6 watch out for parcels with no return address or a nonsensical return address how to survive if you are in the line of gunfire (if you are the primary target) 1 get away as fast as possible 2 run fast but in a zig zag line (its harder for the shooter to draw a bead on you that way) 3 dont bother to count shots you have no idea if the shooter has more ammo 4 turn a corner as quickly as possible (if you are not the primary target) 1 get down and stay down 2 if your are outside and can get to a car, run to it and lie behind a tire on the opposite side of the car from the shooter if no cars are present lie in the gutter next to the curb 3 if you are inside and the shooter is inside get to another room and lie flat or get behind any thick solid objects 4 if you are face to face with the shooter do anything to make yourself less of a target . turn sideways and stay low 5 stay down until the shooting stops or the authorities arrive and give an all clear please note this is a quick write up mark if your interested in borrowing the book ill loan it to you next time your in town

I checked out a book similar to this in high school, but it was very old (30-50 years), much more detailed, and all in all I thought it was a bit more useful than the modern ones. I ended up buying it from the library as I never returned it... I'll try to find it....

if you find it post up a table of contents, im always looking for more info

Looks like it has a new edition, which is on amazon: The Book of Survival: The Original Guide to Staying Alive, Revised Edition. Here are the TOC and the index of illustrations though: 45228.jpg (10 kb, 254x411) 45230.jpg (55 kb, 326x400) 45229.jpg (43 kb, 350x282)

Pulling the ebrake all the way at speed can cause the car to turn. If you don't push out of the car with enough force you could roll into the path of the car and get run over.
How to identify a bomb 1 if a carrier delivers an unexpected package or letter that is bulky inspect it for lumps bulges or protrusions without applying pressure 2 handwritten addresses or labels from companys are unusual check to see if the company exist and if they sent a package 3 be suspicious of packages wrapped in string 4 watch out for excess postage on small packages and letters, this means it wasnt weighed at the post office (its no longer legal to mail stamped parcels weighing more than 16 ounces from a mailbox) 5 watch out for leaks stains wires or excessive tape 6 watch out for parcels with no return address or a nonsensical return address

Anyone with half a brain can make a bomb that won't be detectable by any of these items. If you're that suspicious throw it away or bring it to the police.

You think it would be obvious but while I was diving under a 10K I watched people shocked, as mortars hit. A greater explanation would be better.
