Which one do you like?
- Try to land in a soft area
- Avoid obstructions
- Jump at an angle away from the vehicle
- Open the door completely
Correct Answer

A. Try to land in a soft area

Explanation

When faced with a situation where you have to jump out of a moving vehicle, it is important to try to land in a soft area. This is because landing on a soft surface, such as grass or a pile of leaves, can help absorb the impact and reduce the risk of injuries. Landing on a hard surface, on the other hand, can result in serious injuries or even death. Therefore, it is crucial to aim for a soft area when jumping out of a moving vehicle to increase the chances of a safe landing.

Which type of spray is best for surviving bear attacks?
- Repellent pepper spray
- Airless spray gun
- Natural insect repellent
- Bog Myrtle
Correct Answer

A. Repellent pepper spray

Explanation

Repellent pepper spray is the best type of spray for surviving bear attacks because it is specifically designed to deter and incapacitate bears. Pepper spray contains capsaicin, a natural irritant that causes temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, and intense pain when sprayed in the eyes and nose. This can effectively deter and discourage a bear from attacking, giving the person a chance to escape. Airless spray guns, natural insect repellents, and bog myrtle are not designed or proven to be effective in deterring bears and may not provide the same level of protection.
