WATCH: How To Survive Being Buried Alive, As Told By A Screamy YouTuber

Ahhh, to be buried alive.
It’s up there with the fear of being swept away by a raging tsunami, perishing in a spooky ghost ride or falling off a cliff. Shockingly scary.
YouTuber AWE Me‘s latest screamy ‘Epic How To‘ vid delves into how you should go about surviving in unlikely and unfortunate event of being buried alive:

First off is the avalanche burial
Our host starts with some hard facts. One third of people hit by avalanches die upon impact, and, if you do survive that part, you’ll have roughly 15 minutes to escape before the pressure and freezing temperatures kill ya. How?
While making your way through avalanche snow can feel like “wading through concrete,” old mate reckons it’s still possible. As long as you follow these steps:
1. When the avalanche hits, you wanna run uphill and off to the side.
2. Drop all your equipment. 
3. Try to get a hold onto a tree – this will anchor you.
4. Once the snow starts to pile on top of you, try swimming to the stop.
5. If (and when) you get to the top, lay on your back and do backstroke up the hill.
6. If you can’t, place a hand over your mouth to create an air pocket. 
7. You may have turned upside down – if you have enough room, spit – the direction of the saliva will tell you which way’s up.
8. Reach your other arm up and “dig like crazy.” Use your legs, too.
What about if you’re, god forbid, buried alive in a coffin?! While it’s rare that this’ll happen, it’s not impossible.
1. If you have your phone on you, don’t play Candy Crush – call for help.
2. Lift your shirt over your head – this way, dirt won’t get into ya orifices once you start kicking.
3. Pray your family put you in a cheap coffin – these are easier to bash and break.
4. Start kicking the coffin in the middle, as this is the weakest point.
5. If you were buried with a belt or high heels, use these to break a hole in the coffin. 
6. Letting a bitta dirt in will help relieve the pressure on the coffin, thus making it easier to escape.
7. Once you cop a crack, stand up with your hands in the air. Provided you’re only six feet under, this shouldn’t be too hard.
Now all there is left to do is scream at your whole entire family for allowing you to be buried alive.
