17. Whenever you encounter an emergency situation, stop what you’re doing and say to yourself “This is not MY emergency”
This will (hopefully) allow you to take a step back & assess the situation & prevent you from making poor, split second decisions. So many people jump into swift water trying to save someone else, only to become a second victim. Some people quickly try to extricate victims, but injure then further. Allow yourself to look at things as objectively as possible and you’ll make much better decisions.
