Play dead you idiot

What comes instinctively to a possum doesn't necessarily come instinctively to a human.

Countless times in real life and in the movies people die because they don't have the cop on to play dead. One example being the school shootings in America, find some dead bodies in a corner and lie down beside them facing down.

i think most people are too scared sh!tless to think rationally in a real life situation. in the movies they are paid to die

Anders Brevik shot people who were playing dead to make sure they were dead. Seems lunatics are becoming wise to this. :-/

I think you'll find a few people survived school shootings by playing dead.

Also, latest examples I've read about have been in the Anders Breveik (spl?) attack.

While it is fair to assume the OP was high when he posted this, this is actually how hundreds survived the Rwandan genocide. They lay besides the dead, under the dead, smeared themselves in blood....it worked.

Thanks for the tip scanlas, I will try it later. Just hope someone decides to run amok in rural Kildare tonight and shoots the wife and kids first, hate to waste this valuable piece of lifehacking wisdom. That or I'll ram the gun up their hole, I'll wait and see what the humour is like, you know yourself, never know if you'll be in a mello, play dead mood, or feeling feisty.:)

Important to note that anyone who has been unsuccessful with this tactic is not here to verbalise how bad this idea actually is :cool:

better still, just run around screaming like a wuss, zig zagging like hell and hope they are a crap shot. Or do a funny mime and hope they can't shoot for laughing. Seems about as good advice as the op. Better still, hide in a dark corner and take some quick internet lessons on your iphone in Aikido, and turn their gun on themselves using your new found Stephen Segal skills.
