Trousers can save you from drowning

Drowning maybe terrifying however we should stay calm to save ourselves.

How well can you avoid drowning?

The trousers you are wearing can save you from drowning in the waters. Trousers can be used as a temporary survival ring if you find yourself struggling. However, jeans are not a good choice as the materials are heavy.

Tying your two ends of the trousers, you flip the two ends and jacket them around your neck. After three slight pats on the surface, the air in the water will fill in the trousers through the waistband. This will allow you to use it as a float and avoid submerging.

Dr Yang Jie explained to feeders the self saving tactics.

Dr. Yang Jie, an experienced lecturer of Han Chiang University College of Communication, said that this way is one of the survival methods that can be useful when it comes to urgent underwater situations.

"The most important thing in survival is to remain calm. If you are not calm, you will not be able to survive even if there are lots of obvious escape chances."

Not even just trousers, there are lots of daily usage items like plastic bags and metal bats that can be used as survival tools.

"However, even with just survival tools, the learning of survival skills are essential," Dr. Yang stated.

He added that there should be campaigns and workshops on lifesaving, as it can be beneficial when it comes to emergencies.
