The crowd avalanche accident in South Korea is not other people's affairs.

First shrine visit of New Year, amusement, earthquake, terrorism --- I could always be a victim of the crowd avalanche.

This is why I was in a hurry to learn.

(1) If I fall or am knocked down while running and people pile on top of me, the load on me will be at least 400 kg.

This is the same as a couple under a light car.

Naturally, ribs are snapped and guts rupture.

(2) Even in a merely crowded condition, the patient will be subjected to pressure of over 100 kg from the front, back, left, and right. Before the bones are broken, the lungs will be compressed, unable to breathe, and within minutes, the victim will suffocate and die.

-- Oh my god. So, 'congestion = being under a car or being choked'.

I have found that people can die very easily, indeed, simply by "walking into a crowd."

Some experts advise 'don't go into the crowd,' but that's nonsense advice.

If such a thing were so predictable, nobody go to the crowd avalanche accident.

What I've just learned now, are

(1) Cross your arms in front of you to protect your chest and face (boxer's posture). Avoid chest compressions, especially to maintain respiratory status.

(2) In any case, stand firm so as not to fall. If you fall, get up immediately. Do not go against the flow of the mass flow. It is especially dangerous to head for narrow alleys and exits.

However, the above does not seem to be a "deciding factor".

It is 'bad luck' to get caught in the crowd.

And we should remember that 'crowding is an easy way to kill people'.
