    At least a fire can happen anywhere.

    I also know not to struggle in quicksand and I’d be way more confused if that appeared in my daily routine.

        Every other film had that horrendous scene of people drowning in unexpectedly appearing quicksand.

        Although most victims blunder blindly into quicksand, it sometimes seems that the merest touch of an extremity is enough to pull the unwary into its muddy and all-consuming depths like iron filings to a magnet.

    No one in Hollywood or on YouTube recalls this. Everytime i see someone on fire I shout “STOP DROP AND ROLL” at the TV, but they just stand there and flail like morons.

      Maybe the wording…

      CEASE

      PLUMMET

      ROTATE

      would definitely get my attention.

          The plummeting should take care of itself from that point. You might need assistance with the rotation though.

      Well, hard to remember things when you’re on fire. Much easier to panic instead

    You remember this until the day you die. You forget about it in the morning and burn to death in the afternoon.

      I was on fire once and definitely forgot this in the moment, but my friend in the room remembered, shouted the instructions, and when I tried it, it worked quite well. got off with very minor burns and ruined pants
