Because riots often take place at political rallies and sporting events, it’s important to know when mob behavior can turn violent. RuNews24 .
Avoid large crowds
If you ever see a crowd of people, stay away from it, no matter how curious you are to find out what made everyone gather there.
It’s easy to satisfy your curiosity by asking people who are nearby or by browsing social media newsgroups. But once you’re in a crowd, getting out of it can be very difficult.
Don’t go against the flow of the crowd
If you find yourself in a crowd, do not push with other people. Just watch their movements and try to get out of there as quickly as possible.
How to behave when in a crowd
When you find yourself in the above position, try not to panic and take a deep breath. Then spread your arms at the elbows so that they are no longer pressed against each other by the body.
Avoid large people, bulky and heavy objects, and those who might kick you as they walk by. When moving through the crowd, keep your feet up high and do not step on other people.
What to do if the stampede has become threatening
When the crowd gets too tight, first untie and unwind any long straps around your body. Don’t bend over or try to pick up something you’ve dropped – you could be crushed.
If you fall, get back on your feet as quickly as possible. But don’t rely on your hands. If you can’t get up off the ground, curl up into a ball and place your hands on your head.
What to do when you manage to get out of the crowd
After you have avoided the immediate danger, move away from the main streets or public squares. Calm down, walk home and avoid contact with other people if possible.
