Watching the movie "47 Meters Down"

Today, when dealing with a socket with a stuck hole, I inserted the metal scissors into it, trying to remove the blocked plastic piece. I tried a few times, and the last time I got an electric shock, the scissors popped open, and I was safe. Then I gave up the socket.

Many safe behaviors, if not deliberately learned and trained, are difficult to respond to in time; even many normal or subconscious reactions are more likely to cause harm.

I remembered the news reports I had read before. The oil tanker overturned and the floor was covered with oil. Nearby residents rushed to scoop up oil with their own tools and took them home. While they were scooping up, one of the men and his companions questioned the authenticity of the oil. Fake, thinking that the oil can be ignited, so I took out a lighter and pointed a little on the oil surface that spread on the ground... In an instant, the others who were still scooping the oil too late to escape were surrounded by a sea of ​​fire, and several people died on the spot.

I have read a lot of similar news and learned a lot from it. For example, there is news that a man smelled a lot of gas when he came home. As soon as the light switch was pulled, the whole room exploded. The gas concentration is too high, and then encountering the spark generated by pulling the switch, the explosion seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is inevitable. For a period of time after the news, I always smelled hard before entering the room to make sure the gas was not leaking before I dared to turn on the light.

I don't know why I dare to use metal to poke the socket without the brakes being turned off. It may be out of luck or lack of vigilance.

Ordinary things in life are still full of dangers and variables. For things like deep-sea crises, without sufficient training, it is easier to escape in an emergency.

When watching the movie, whenever the protagonists and sisters shouted and were overjoyed at 47 meters down, I always yelled at them as idiots and repeatedly "reminds" them to save energy and oxygen. That's exactly what I'm doing to impress the right responses in my mind.

After watching this film, I know: you can't go upstream quickly underwater, you need to stay for 5 minutes to decompress; change liquid nitrogen in the middle, which may cause hallucinations; to balance the pressure underwater, you need to lean your head back and swallow your saliva; underwater It's easy to lose your way, so be sure to get your bearings...

Finally, the most important thing is: a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Anytime, anywhere, trust your own intuition and judgment, and be able to persevere, not easily persuaded by others to ignore your own unease. It is better to lose a chance to play than to subconsciously ignore all kinds of safety knowledge in the past few decades.
