What To ACTUALLY Do If You Are Buried Alive

What to actually do if you are buried alive? First, stay calm since panicking wastes oxygen and you’ll only have enough for an hour or two so take slow shallow breaths. If the coffin is wooden, use your shirt or clothing to cover your face. Feel for weak points in the coffin lid and press upward. If the lid breaks, soil will start pouring so use your arms to push the dirt toward your feet, creating space above your head which keeps you from being crushed. When enough dirt fills the coffin, it might be possible to crawl upward through the loose soil. If you’re in a metal or fiberglass coffin though, all you can do is try to stay as still as possible to conserve oxygen and hope for rescue.
