If you are the least bit active, much of life is a process of trying to avoid the thing that could kill you.
It is why golfers run for cover if a storm is approaching. It is why you do not go into the ocean if a shark is reported in the vicinity. It is why you make sure to give power lines a wide berth if you are using a ladder. It is why you put safety first when handling guns, knives or fireworks.
The goal is to avoid being “that guy” on social media, another contestant for the Darwin Awards and another statistic for safety personnel to add to their books.
How an active person can kill themselves is literally an endless list; the trick is to avoid the really stupid or really obvious ways.
To see a few of them and what you should do to avoid them, check out the next page.

There’s a bad undertow in Bogalusa, LA, in a river obviously. Its an area that has a manmade obstruction causing the rip current, made of concrete. Being trapped in that, I’ve been told is a death sentence. I’d rather not find out if I could escape it if I don’t have to. It would be hard to escape if the current slams your head against the concrete, rendering you unconscious.
This technique saved my life rafting on the Salmon river. It works.
