乘坐飞机遇到紧急情况如何应对

1.“应急出口”必须会打开。乘坐飞机时机组会告知坐在应急出口的乘客如何使用应急逃生门。

2.认证阅读飞机上的安全须知,认真了解各项应急设备的使用须知和其所在的位置。如:氧气面罩、救生衣(Iife jacket)等。3.使用应急逃生滑梯时一定不要携带行李并且应取下身上尖锐的物品。

4.尽量穿长袖长裤,因为遇到突发情况长袖长裤对身体的保护效果更好,另外尽量不要穿凉鞋,容易被异物割伤。

5.舱内出现烟雾(smog)时,一定要使头部处于可能的最低位置,因为烟雾总是向上的,屏住呼吸用饮料浇湿毛巾或手绢,捂住口鼻后才呼吸,弯腰或爬行至出口。

6.当客舱失压时,要立即戴上氧气面罩(oxygen mask),并且必须戴严,否则呼吸道肺泡内的氧气会被“吸出”体外。为了增加舱内的压力和氧浓度,飞机会立即下降至3000米高空以下,这时必须系紧安全带。

7、若飞机在海洋上空失事,要立即换上救生衣。

8、飞机起飞前一定要掌握好安全带的使用,遇到事故逃生第一时间内能松开撤离,另外飞机在高空平飞阶段也应系好安全带(safety belt)。

9、遇到强烈冲击时,必须做好防剧烈冲撞的姿势。成年人旅客应身体前倾,两臂伸直交叉紧抓前面座椅靠背,头俯下,两脚用力蹬地。怀抱婴儿的旅客应将婴儿斜抱在怀里,婴儿头部不得与过道同侧面朝上,弯下腰俯下身双脚用力蹬地;或一手抱紧婴儿,一手抓住前面的椅背,低下头,双脚用力蹬地。特殊旅客(孕妇、高血压等)应双手抓紧座椅扶手,或双手抱头,同时收紧下颚,两腿用力蹬地。对于双脚不能着地的儿童,可采取将双手压在双膝下,手心向上,弯下腰的方式。
