Keep body parts away from objects that move, cut, grind, or are under a heavy load.

Examples: between boat and dock, standing on the inside of line under stress around a block or winch, less than a couple of inches away from anything sharp connected to a motor, head above boom level when a gybe is a possibility.

Top 10 Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack

1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Blades don’t need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
