How to Survive a Hit-and-Run
______________________________________________________________

1. If a car is headed directly for you, assess the amount of time you have.


2. Dive and roll out of the car's path if you have enough time before impact.
   You may get some cuts and bruises but you will not get run over.


3. If you can't get out of the way, jump as high as you can before impact.
   Jump in a tight tuck or ball position, with your arms over your head. Jump in profile with your shoulder toward the car; this exposes fewer vital organs.


4. Brace for impact.
   You will probably hit the windshield.


5. Roll onto and off the windshield.


6. Stay rolled in a ball and brace yourself for when you hit the ground.
   Keep your arms over your head.


7. Try to roll or crawl out of the way of any other cars that might be approaching from either direction.
