These scenario's are from the 'Worst-case-scenario handbook' that I own. It has some usefull tips, but it isn't a complete survival-handbook.

"...a crazed insurance salesman bursts through the roof access door and lunges toward you..."

I really liked that one. I have an idea who is gonna try to fly to the next rooftop, and it ain't gonna be me!!!

As for the camel, does anyone know exactly where to shoot a camel in the back of its head to hit the pea sized brain? Inquiring minds want to know...

Just be very careful with some of these suggestions. So far I have only read the riot chapter and I do not agree with many of the author ideas, at least they go against my experience and common sense.

The "Worst Case Scenario" books are more pop-culture than useful information.

I bought the orginal yellow first edition when it came out. I read through it once and returned it to REI where it was purchased. My sister gave me a board-game version as well. A lot of the advice is either wrong or so specific to one event that it is not really useful.

Enjoy it for the entertainment but don't take it too seriously.
