Other possibilities for the heroine to survive

The subject of the film has been discussed by many people. Let me talk about my thoughts on other escape possibilities for the hero in the film.
Let me talk about the protagonist's escape method in the film, which is undoubtedly the simplest and most rude way. But in fact, it was different from the heroine's idea. She originally wanted to lubricate her wrist with blood, but in fact the blood did not play a lubricating effect. She was pulled out by tearing the wound thoroughly. The advantage of this approach is that it is fast, but the disadvantage is that you may lose too much blood and die before finding the rescue, and given that the incident occurred in the wilderness, it is very likely.
The film shows that the bed is reinforced, so breaking the pillar will definitely not work. Let me talk about my thoughts. In this case, the space for activity is very important. So the first task should be to create as much space as possible for the body to display. As the saying goes, strength starts from the ground, and people can only exert their maximum strength when their feet are on the ground. This can be referred to the example of a wrestling match. Players always try to grab the opponent’s ankle and then bring the opponent down. Raise the opponent’s leg at the joint to prevent it from touching the ground (well, I know so much and I don’t know if I saw it from WWE, the common sense guys must understand this, um), the purpose is to make the opponent stronger Can't use it for a long time to suppress the opponent and win.
Closer to home, how to create space? In this movie, fortunately, the handcuffs can move up and down, and the range is close to one meter. This means that the protagonist only needs to raise his hands while pushing on the mattress while getting up against the bed board. It takes a little effort. You can squat on the head of the bed in a semi-squat position. Secondly, the mattress is very thick. Visually, it is close to half a meter thick. Just imagine if there is no mattress, the vertical movable distance of the heroine can be more than half a meter. At this time, squatting will not be so awkward. Then there is the question of how to remove the mattress. Haven't I already squatted on the head of the bed before? By sticking your feet sideways into the gap, you can easily kick the mattress up and then kick it to the ground. The next important question is what is under the mattress? There are two possibilities, one is a tightly fitted flat plank, and the other is a neatly arranged wooden railing. I checked it online and found that there are both common wooden beds. If it is a wooden board, I will talk about it later. But if it is a wooden railing, and the gap between the railings is large enough for a woman's feet to pass through, it would be too lucky! I measured my 43 feet (I’m a man), the widest place is about 9 cm, and women’s feet are generally small, especially the protagonist Carla Guccino’s height is 167, even if the feet are 8 cm wide (I doubt it is actually more narrow). The 8cm bottom railing gap is definitely not wide for such a big bed (actually, I found that the gap underneath the cheap bed of a certain treasure is thicker than the thigh, but the one in the movie must be a high-end bed) Now the protagonist can stand On the ground. This is a huge leap, because now you can do your best! Now because the feet are still restricted by the railing gap, they cannot move vertically, but they can move horizontally (because the railings at the bottom of the bed are arranged horizontally, and there is a vertical wooden beam in the middle, which is the strongest), and the phone is on the right hand side ! The method is that the protagonist stands on the ground, pulls the bed to the side of the body with both hands, and moves both feet together. With a little effort, you can get the phone with the right hand. Fingerprint unlocking is usually right-handed and the heroine is right-handed, so it’s no problem. , Successfully saved!
The establishment of the above method is based on two premises, one is that the protagonist can successfully squat on the head of the bed, and the other is that the bottom of the bed is a wooden railing like a keel (the scientific name is unknown, and the keel will be referred to as the keel) and the gap is wide enough. I probably tried the first point myself. Solemnly declare: I have no tendency to SM (...), and I didn't use handcuffs (of course I didn't, eh hey), I think it is feasible. The second point is that the bottom of the keel bed is pure luck, if not, the above method will naturally not work. I don't know much about furniture, but many European and American solid wood beds use keel-like designs to make the beds lighter and use less materials. My family almost bought this kind of bed not long ago. But the width of the keel gap is difficult to verify. But think about it, a big bed of two meters (approximately) long, if it is really a keel, the gap width of seven or eight centimeters is not too big, I hope the experts who know the industry can enlighten me.
Let's talk about what to do if there is a tightly fitted dry bed under the mattress. I have to say that it’s embarrassing (gloriously...), because half-squatting on the bedside will inevitably turn over the board above the head, and the water cup on it will spill. So before doing this, you should use the method in the film Drink the water in one go to avoid wasting it. Then it's time to test the protagonist's yoga class! (If she goes, American rich women often do this. When there is jing, Chang is for sexy coaches. Hey) The method is as follows: tilt your head and neck back as much as possible, and then use waist and abdomen strength to slowly raise your legs and hold your head high. Until your feet touch the wall, put your body weight on your hands (it hurts but better than letting your hands go), raise your upper body as much as possible, and keep your feet touching the wall. At this time, the protagonist's body bends and his feet hang above his head. Viewing the protagonist's posture from the side, it is like a C with an opening facing the wall. At this time, use your feet to push the wall hard. This series of actions may have to be repeated many times (sounding tired lol) until the bed is pushed a certain distance forward from the root of the wall. At this time, repeat the previous action again. At this time, because there is a certain distance from the wall, both feet can go over the top of the head and go down without hindrance, and finally land on the gap between the bed and the wall. This is the most challenging place for flexibility, which is equivalent to the protagonist completing an somersault. At this time, the protagonist is leaning against the wall and facing the back of the bed.
The above mentioned is the most ideal ending. The protagonist can stand on the back of the bed with his handcuffed hands in front of him. Because there are no restrictions on your feet at this time, you can easily push the bed to get the phone, why not get the key? Because the lock cannot be opened with one hand, it is still possible to make an emergency call. Of course, this second method is quite difficult, and it is difficult for people without considerable flexibility and willpower to do it. The reason I think it is feasible is because according to the acrobatics I have seen, professional acrobats can easily complete the difficult movements of the second method, even when the hands are handcuffed and it is difficult to borrow. However, the biggest problem is whether it can be pushed. Given that the legs are the most powerful body of a person, it should be feasible. Of course, whether ordinary people can break through the physical barriers to achieve this under the impetus of the will to survive is a matter for the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise to see the wisdom. It is worth mentioning that if the second method is feasible, you can even use a bed to block the door after the phone call to prevent cute dogs (emmm animals are innocent) from coming in.
Finally, to summarize, the two methods I mentioned. One is to kick off the mattress and stand in the gap between the keel and push the bed to escape. The second is to stand upside down, push the wall and push the bed to escape. Either way, it depends on the mobile phone, because the core of the two methods is to liberate the protagonist's feet instead of hands. In this movie, all you can do with one hand is to make a phone call, unless there is a saw blade in the bedside table. This warns us not to despair in encountering such emergencies, and we must actively respond to it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the phone is out of power, there is really only one way to survive by breaking the palm (not to mention that if I use my method, the cup will not be able to cut the wrist).
