Could you save your own life?

 This is a good article about the need to be strong relative to your body weight and fit for real life stuff that happens.  What might you need to do to save your own life or the life of a loved one?  Scale a wall?  Pull yourself out of a car using only your arms?  Lift something off of yourself?  Carry something (or someone) for a distance?  If you can't do some of these basic things, then you may not be able to save yourself or someone else should the need arise, and anyone who has ever been in a life-or-death situation can tell you:  you won't know the time or place when these kind of skills are going to be needed.  How ready are you?
