If you truly fail on a heavy lift, you are an idiot for not doing one of the above. However, if you don't have the collars on, you can dump the weight on one side. Or, if it's lighter, you can roll the weight down past your stomach to your pelvis so you can sit up. Then you can either ask for help or simply stand with the weight and set it down. Also, this list is terrible. I only read the first few - the bee sting is right, but onion? On a burn? No, fuck that. Have you ever eaten a strong onion? It burns and stings. Imagine that on a burn. No. Put some burn cream on it. Next - superglue the digit? No, what you do is you put the severed digit in a bag and then put it on ice. That way you can actually have it reattached nerves and all. If you superglue it, you have no blood vessels and no nerves reattached. Good luck with the gangrene there. Seriously. They use the superglue after they reconnect things. That's as far as I got and that's as far as I will get. In reference to the weightlifting comment, you can avoid that by a) asking for a spotter or b) using the power rack as an artificial spotter.

Get a sharp pointed knife and a Bick Pen with the ink cartridge and end removed. With the open knife in one hand feel for your Adams Apple. Just below that should be a soft gap just above the Hyoid Bone. Thrust the blade about 1 - 1.5 inches in. You should feel / hear air come out of your neck. Make the cut big enough for the pen cartridge to fit. Insert the cartridge until you can breath through it and hold pressure over the site until the bleeding stops. I've done this many times on myself and it works like a charm. Oh, call an ambulance shortly thereafter although they probably won't be able to understand what you're trying to say.

You were stung by a bee. Pull the stinger out like a man. Wuss. 2. You have a first-degree burn. I told you not to touch that! 3. Your tooth is killing you. Have some more candy, fatty. 4. You sliced off a small piece of a digit. Stay out of the kitchen, you can't cook anyway. 5. You have a nosebleed. That other guy better have one too. 6. You’re choking. See, those teeth are important! 7. You sprained something. Lose some weight chubby, your ankles aren't made of titanium. 8. Your hand is full of thorns. Gardening is not for you. 9. You can’t remove a stuck ring. Really, it's time to cut back on the cupcakes. 10. You feel like puking. Some people never listen... 1. You were stung by a bee.

How about adding something about getting stuck under a barbell full of weights when you're doing bench press? What do you do then? Dump the weight. What if the collars are still on the barbell?

Your body is trying to tell you something when it says PUKE. So just do it! It would be more helpful to come up with ways to make yourself puke, when you don't have Ipecack readily available. I hate the hours of nausea waiting to puke. For sea-sickness, I would agree with the article, but would also add 'get off of the boat.' :) I agree with Bernard about the puking thing, especially if it is the result of drinking too much alcohol.

I think applying pressure along should be good enough. Will try that next time when at the tabled rinking. The one to prevent puking is really useful I guess.

I cut the tip of my nose of in a freak shaving incident in the shower (No, I'm not kidding) and used that trick to stop the seemingly endless stream of blood. The powdery consistency aids in clotting, and the oils in the pepper constrict the capillaries. Shawn Another good one is to use Cayenne Pepper to stop bleeding.
