When I learned to drive, my stepfather taught me to always have a plan. Scan the road, think of what you would do if the worst were to happen. Now I’m sort of neurotic about it, playing out scenarios and making a plan for how, should I fall off a bridge into the ocean, for instance, I would unbuckle myself and the kids, break the window and swim to safety.
It’s sort of a morbid habit, but this video featured on Gizmodo today shows why it’s good to have a plan.
Watch how the driver of the tow truck leaps out at the last second, just before it plummets down into the icy ravine! You know that man had a plan!
Everyone in this video survived, even the guy whose truck first fell… Miraculously, he walked away with just a few broken bones.
How about you? Do you plan for the worst?
