PEOPLE Quick: You're on an elevator when the cable snaps, plunging you into free fall. What do you do? Jump in the air at the moment of impact, right? Sure, except that the elevator "will likely collapse... and crush you," note the authors of the bestseller The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook. The right answer: Lie flat on the floor to distribute the impact. In deadpan tone, Piven and Borgenicht advise how to survive a plane crash, remove a leech (burning it off will make it regurgitate, causing infection who knew?) and escape from the trunk of a car. The scenarios owe a debt to action flick cliches how often do you find yourself leaping from rooftop to rooftop? but their utter implausibility doesn't make this read any less riveting., PEOPLE Quick: You're on an elevator when the cable snaps, plunging you into free fall.

one of the most outragous yet helpful books out there
I love the fact that this book has an index, and that it's ordered based on travel not the name of the incident. Although many of the subjects talked about in this book are not too relavant to those who live within a first world country, "if ever the need" to travel out into a second and more likely a first world country this is the book to have! Very entertaining and all too real! with pictures!

Good Book!!
I purchased this book because I wanted the whole series. They are great books full of useful or useless (depending on how you look at it) information. It's not likely that you'll end up in some of the situations,but its good to know how to get out of them. It's part educational and part humorous, if you have that kind of sense of humor. Good Read!!

Worst case secenario survival handbook
A lot of fun, but serious, as well. Great gift for the difficult giftee. Information on all sorts of emergencies. When your parachute doesn't open, find a new best friend who is sky diving with you. Works for me!

If you have travelled you will enjoy this.
I love the fact there are actual pictures and diagrams in it. I am getting ready to backpack through Europe with my girlfriend and got this for her to read on the flight over. I hope it does not freak her out too much, but is a great book to read quickly if you are bored on a plane.
