The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook - Piven and Bordenicht



When a life is imperiled or a dire situation is at
hand, safe alternatives may not exist. To deal with
the worst-case scenarios presented in this book,
we highly recommend—insist, actually—that the
best course of action is to consult a professionally
trained expert. Do NOT ATTEMPT TO UNDERTAKE
ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN THIS BOOK
YOURSELF. But because highly trained professionals
may not always be available when the safety of
individuals is at risk, we have asked experts on
various subjects to describe the techniques they
might employ in those emergency situations. THE
PUBLISHER, AUTHORS, AND EXPERTS DISCLAIM
ANY LIABILITY from any injury that may result from
the use, proper or improper, of the information
contained in this book. All the information in this
book comes directly from experts in the situation
at hand, but we do not guarantee that the informa-
tion contained herein is complete, safe, or accurate,
nor should it be considered a substitute for your
good judgment and common sense. And finally,
nothing in this book should be construed or inter-
preted to infringe on the rights of other persons
or to violate criminal statutes: we urge you to obey
all laws and respect all rights, including property
rights, of others.
