"Triangle of Life" is useless! Earthquake emergencies, 3 suggestions to help you protect yourself

By Dr White

 


When an earthquake comes, to run or not to run?

To put it simply, don't run.

However, some times, there are still people will run, not only the epicenter of the run, hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter of the city also run.

In fact, think about it, if the magnitude of the earthquake, intensity, the whole earth shaking up and down, horizontal shaking very violent, where you can run? Run a step on the fall to do not know where to go!

On the contrary, if you can successfully run downstairs, it is certainly running for nothing! So we usually say: small earthquake do not need to run, big earthquake can not run.

Again:

Unless you are on the first floor, and out is the square without falling objects, otherwise, do not run!

Must not deliberately hide in the bathroom

Those who do not run, there are many people think of running the bathroom to hide.

But in fact, now the frame structure of the building, the bathroom is not more solid than the living room, bedroom.

Therefore, the last decade or so the construction of the frame structure of the building, in which part of the room are similar, near the shelter, no need to deliberately run the bathroom.

What about the brick and mortar buildings of earlier years?

7 strong earthquake, as long as not decades ago really too old houses, whether the county buildings, or town streets, there are not many collapsed.

So, there is no need to run the bathroom. After all, this time to run around, it is likely to be a variety of chandeliers on the ceiling, decorations, glass falling down smashed head, the same dangerous!

Does the "Triangle of Life" work?

It doesn't work, it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

As soon as an earthquake occurs, someone may throw out that earthquake  "Triangle of Life" dodge method. In fact, the safety triangle is an unattainable coincidence.

Because if the earthquake leads to the collapse of the house, it is inevitably the result of repeated tilting and shaking of the earth, and in this case, all the furniture will be substantially displaced, you will also be in the violent shaking of the east and west, where there is a stable and unchanging safety triangle there to guard you?

In recent years, the international on earthquake avoidance, basically recommended: ambush, cover, hand grip, the law of earthquake avoidance.

In other words, it is important to -

Protection of the head, drilling under the solid furniture, but also with hands to hold the legs of the furniture, ready for a substantial swaying and shaking.

Otherwise, either the furniture slipped away, or you were shaken away!
