How to Survive if Your Car Careens Down a Mountainside
_________________________________________________

1. Apply firm and steady braking pressure.


2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel.
   With your hands at ten and two o'clock, keep your thumbs outside the steering wheel.


3. Steer your car downhill.


4. Downshift after regaining control to slow your momentum.


5. Turn the wheel in the same direction the car is sliding.


6. Use steady braking pressure to stop the car.


7. If your braking does not stop the car, aim the center of your car over a large rock or fallen tree to "high center" the car.


8. If you still cannot stop the car, slow to 20 mph or less and ram the car head-on into a tree or large boulder.
