Life saving tips.

BShane · May 2007

I just got a good tip from TurogarTim off the "Boring question about Ortliebs" thread and wondered if anyone else had any good life saving tips/anecdotes to share?

If you borrow or test ride a bike abroad sometimes they connect the brakes differently to us. So you think you're putting on the front and all you do is lock the back. I did this in the US on a corner, fell off and fractured my skull.

Not only do they set up their bikes back to front, the idiots often drive on the wrong side of the road as well !

Definatly one you have to watch out for, as can cause all sorts of problems on a long tour

If you get bitten by a snake don't panic. Check how many puncture wounds you have. You will have two from the top jaw, but if you also have two underneath, making 4, then worry not. Venomous snakes leave only 2 puncture wounds. Unless the litte fucker bit you twice of course. The other obvious way of telling the difference is that after being bitten by a non-venomous snake, chances are you will have 16 stones of slowing contracting snake about your head, neck and torso[:p]

Oh, and after the bite, if venomous, try and get the snake, or just it's head if the whole thing is proving tricky, as the venom of one snake could well be the anti-dote for another, and you don't want to get the description wrong do you[xx(]

After all this, get to hospital quickly, really quickly, but don't rush now, all that venom will just get around your system faster[:0]

Snakes, you gotta luv the little critters.

A few plasters in your saddle bag can be good or at least a hankie or similar. I once road into some barbed wire (don't ask - its a long story...)and ripped my hand open. Although it wasn't very sore or bad it bled rather a lot all the way home. Hubby was horrified by my 'dried blood everywhere' look!But once cleaned up it wasn't much to get excited about.

if you really want something in this life you have to work for it, now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers!

thedoctor · May 2007

Maybe I don't want to know...
Don't put your handbag on the window sill of a revolving restaurant.

If you get caught in an avalanche, once you stop moving, dribble. Then start digging in the opposite direction to the way your dribble goes, because that way is up!

dangerousjules · May 2007

cathryn...sound advice i feel!

I think all my dribble would already have been spontaneously released.

Avalanches - that would be pretty bad - anyone know how to throw a boomerang ?

longers75 · June 2007

I used to be able to throw one but that was 20 years ago and the technologies all probably changed now.

Are there any revolving restaurants left, or at least still revolving.

Post Office Tower London - closed
St George's Tower Liverpool - closed

Guess there may be lots abroad, but in the UK?
