    9/17 - I can't believe I got the one about the life jacket and aircraft wrong :o:o :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    only 9, jaysus, i should pay more attention


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭jimmidy_cricket


    9 out of 17 ooops! Lucky for me I don't fly much, don't work in a bank, live in Ireland where tornados and snakes are irrelevant and sharks for that matter and finally if a dog tried to attack me I wouldn't back away or any of the other stuff mentioned I'd grab its two front paws as it lunged at me, pullying them apart thus compressing its rib cage and causing some sort of heart attack. (Theres one species of dog that this dosn't work on). Was scared of dogs when I was a kid and was instructed to do this, thankfully haven't had to..yet..

    10/17
    Got most of the animal ones wrong.

    i only got 8 but some of them are stupid. what kind of retard gets into a bath when a tornado hits? i picked a matress so you could grab onto it and have something to block debris hitting you and have something to land on when it drops you. you're going into it whether you're in the bath or not so you might as well have a shield

    and about driving out of the path of a tornado, if you stay in your house you're definitely going to be sucked up along with all the heavy and sharp objects in it. if you're in a car driving away, well you're not near the tornado. if it catches up to you and for some reason you cant just turn and get out of its way, you could just get out of the car and you'd be in the same situation as if you stayed in your house, minus all the sharp stuff

    and a question further on suggests you do exactly what i just said (get out of the car and lie in a ditch)


    my rant for the day

    10/17

    i don't know why but the visious dog was the scariest...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs


    Whoops 10/17
    I'm in trouble :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭Aporia


    i thought 10/17 was pretty good :(:confused:
    it's more than a 50 percent chance of surviving


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    10/17, they were hard!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    17/17... just think, and it's easy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭Aporia


    i did think - too much

    i kept thinking they were trick questions and what they woukd think i'd probably answer so i went against that...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    am i the only one disturbed by the fact i got every one of the terrorism ones right:confused: .

    10/17 so it looks like im either gonna die in a tornado or get eaten by a dog:D

    wouldnt be too sure about the sharks there jimbo, there are 5 species of shark that have eaten whole humans.. two of which are common in irish waters. ive even seen be porgys less than 2 miles from land. anyhow a dolphin is much more likely to attack you than a shark is. viscious little bollixes that have been given a great public image!!

    16/17
    Thought you were meant to tie something above a snake bite to stop the poison going through your blood stream, apparently not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    8/17.. badly injured or seriously maimed. I thought I was fairly savvy about these things but there ya go! :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Peace


    10/17.... hanging in by the skin of my teeth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 221 ✭✭NikNik


    "You're alive but badly injured or maimed for life. With a little effort, you too can be an extreme survivor."

    13/17 - I'm actually amazed at my score :D I thought you were supposed to grab a shark by the gills. I shall have to test my theory....hmmm...now to find me a shark...

    Rarr !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,574 ✭✭✭ZiabR
