I'm not sure if this should go here or in the Locker Room. Mods, feel free to move it if you think it belongs elsewhere. This isn't really martial arts related, but I thought others might be interested in it anyway because it's (mainly) about survival.
There's a new TV show airing this summer, Wednesdays on TBS, called Worst Case Scenario. It's based on the book The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook by Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht where a number of experts were asked about what they would do in certain (unlikely) life or death situations and to reveal just what you'd need to know to survive. OK, they're not *all* life and death, but a lot of them are. They were also intentionally chosen to be highly unlikely survival situations, one of those just in case, you never know deals. From the front and back covers of the book, here are some examples of what the book contains: how to escape from quicksand, wrestle and alligator, break down a door, land a plane, fend off a shark, take a punch, deliver a baby in a taxicab, survive a poisonous snake attack, jump from a moving car, escape from killer bees, survive if your parachute fails to open. I read through the book and found it to be very interesting and I expect the TV show to be the same way. I'm planning to record and save the shows to have a sort of video companion to the book. The first show airs tomorrow, so if this sounds interesting, make sure you check it out.
