A man in Shanxi was hit by an iron gate blown open by a strong wind. What should I pay attention to outdoors in windy weather?

Although windy weather is not as violent and violent as natural disasters such as earthquakes and lightning. As long as it is not a high-level gale, the damage will not be great, but if it is too careless, it will inevitably lead to great disaster. Therefore, we also need to be careful to help you summarize the following precautions:

1. Stay away from dangerous heavy objects

2. Don't take anything that floats lightly or is easy to ride.

3. Get off in time when using transportation.

4. Get down in case of strong wind.

5. Protect your eyes, nose and mouth with your belongings.

First, stay away from dangerous heavy objects.

Many people naturally want to find a place to shelter from the wind in such weather, but they must also find a relatively safe place to shelter from the wind, such as under a big tree, beside an unstable iron fence and under an unstable eaves, which are all very dangerous places. Even if you don't find shelter, some dangerous buildings, trees, billboards and street lamps around you will be the objects that may be damaged and blown away in windy weather. If you hit someone, the consequences will be very serious, and small objects that look inconspicuous may cause fatal danger to people with the sudden wind. So either don't find a place to shelter from the wind, or find a solid building or shopping mall. In short, remember to stay away from all heavy objects.

Second, don't take anything that floats lightly or is easy to ride.

Someone once held a balloon in a windy day, and the whole person was taken away by a balloon with strong floating force for several meters. If the wind is stronger, it is estimated that it will be taken into the air, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Of course, under normal circumstances, we don't take balloons when we go out, but the umbrella we usually take is also a dangerous thing that is very easy to go for a ride. Although the skeleton of the umbrella is designed to prevent the headwind, it is difficult to control if it encounters sudden strong wind, especially for children, it is even more difficult to use the umbrella in windy weather.

Third, get off in time when using transportation.

If you feel the obvious wind when sitting in the car and the car feels fluttering back and forth, you should stop and get off at once. After all, the car is not as heavy as the house, and it is bound to be unable to withstand the high-rise wind. When traveling by electric car or bicycle, you should get off immediately in case of sudden strong wind. If you really can't push it, you need to give up the vehicle at a critical moment to protect your own safety. If you don't get off, the car will hurt yourself and even other passers-by, and it is very dangerous if sand and foreign objects enter your eyes during riding.

Fourth, when encountering strong winds, quickly squat down.

Many times, the casualties caused by strong winds are caused by sudden strong winds that people are caught off guard. So at this time, you must kneel down for the first time, or hold your head forward with your elbow to reduce wind resistance. If you have enough time, you can immediately find a safe leeward place, such as a solid wall, squatting at the root of the wall and firmly grasping the structure that can be grasped. It is best to seek refuge in a nearby house.

5. Take care of your eyes, nose and mouth.

Strong winds blow sand or foreign objects into the nose, which will affect breathing and cause suffocation. When foreign objects blow into your eyes, there will be unbearable acidity and pain, and in this line of sight, you can't see clearly the coming danger around you, and you can't get out in time. Therefore, it is very important to cover your nose, mouth and eyes. In case of windy weather, wear a mask and sunglasses before going out. If you forget to bring it, cover it with your clothes.
