How To Survive Being Shot: br br 1- first thing above all, is to avoid being shot in the first place. br 2- try to position yourself to get shot in non-vital parts of your body. br 3- if cornered, the vital organ defense position can reduce fatal wounds. br 4- playing dead can reduce the chances for repeated shots. br 5- continue playing dead even if the shots continue. br 6- control your breathing, try not to panic br 7- if you have the ability to call 911 do so. br 8- apply pressure to the most dangerous looking wound, if you have multple wounds. br 9- use gravity to keep blood in your body. br 10- if shot in the front, lay on your back. br 11- if shot in the back, lay on your stomach. br 12- personally i have been shot, and i used a fighting stance (martial arts stance), br in order to reduce my large size to make it harder to hit my vital areas. br which is why i got shot on the outer side of my thigh, instead of my groin br or stomach area. br 13- try crawling to safety or shelter like under a car or truck.
