It's a shame, too.
(Actually, if the situation arises, I'm going to try it anyway. What have
I got to lose ? <g>)

You're more likely to survive if you take one aspirin every other day and an
extra aspirin if you think the "big" one is happening...then call 911. (no
kidding)
>From Mordy Duran:
on the lighter side:
Physiologically, this self-induced "cpr" has some significant inherent
problems. I thought this thread would lead to a panic button on the dash
that repetitively discharged the airbag onto the driver with a frequency of
about 100 blows per min while simultaneously calling 911 using the on board
cell phone / automatic GPS locator beacon. It would automatically charge up
the "heated seat" option and when you 'died' and lost bladder control the
moisture would create the electrical contact to zap you into potential
conciousness. If you didn't wake up then - the air conditioning would go
into hyper mode creating a deep freeze and putting the body into torpor
until such time as rescuers reverse the situation.
I just don't see how the airway would be secured...though.
