How to avoid danger when encountering hail weather outdoors?
Seeing the news about Haixi Prefecture in Qinghai reminded me of my trip to Qinghai nearly ten years ago. It was a sunny day but suddenly there was hail. At that time, the tour guide asked us to get back to the car quickly and not to look outside out of curiosity. Hail weather is very dangerous. When encountering this kind of situation outdoors, you should choose the following ways to avoid danger.
If you encounter hail while driving, you should calmly pull over and stop immediately. Never force yourself to move forward when there is hail, and park your vehicle next to it, where there are no big trees or buildings. Although most hailstones are not particularly big, the impact of falling from such a high place is huge.
The car roof can give us a good concealment effect, but if the car is parked next to a tree or a building, it may be hit by a tree or building. Attack from falling objects. Therefore, try to park your vehicle in an open area at this time, and do not drive forward in the hail.
If you encounter hail while walking, you must find shelter in time. Just like when there was a hailstorm, the tour guide quickly called us back to the car, because hailstones are very harmful to people. If there is no shelter above the head at this time, it is very likely that we will be injured.
But be careful, when choosing a cover, never choose trees or slopes that may cause landslides. Because these places may be affected by hail, the pressure of falling trees is also great. Slopes that may cause landslides will also become more dangerous under the impact of hail.
Be sure to learn how to avoid danger when there is no cover. If you encounter hail weather on the road outdoors, and there are no vehicles or other shelters around, you should try your best to avoid hail attacks on your important parts and learn about outdoor safety and avoidance.
The safe avoidance posture is to squat half on the ground, hold your head with both hands, and protect your head, chest and abdomen from impact with all your strength. If you have a backpack or something like that, you can put it on top of your head to protect your head. Most of the people who were injured in hail weather suffered head injuries, because the head is a complex and fragile part. Therefore, try to avoid hail damage to important parts.
Fourth, beware of electric shock during hail weather. Hail is still very lethal and may cause damage to surrounding circuits. If you encounter hail weather outdoors, you should stay away from lighting lines, high-voltage wires and transformers when taking shelter to prevent these equipment from being damaged by hail and causing serious consequences such as electric shock.
In short, when encountering hail weather outdoors, do not panic and find a place to hide where you can protect yourself.
