HOW LONG CAN YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH?

This question might well appear to be meaningless to most people especially those who are not athletic in nature and for those who do not breathe deeply and so forth. The fact is that in any situation where someone has you by the throat and is trying to kill you, that will be the moment when you will have wished you knew and also what you could do about it as you will have probably at best around six seconds to escape, if at all. Sometimes these attacks are so overwhelming and the attacker so skilled and tough the victim can only die. The firs thing a rapist does usually is to overpower his victim, usually by grabbing the neck and the throat and trying to stifle in the case of women, their screams which are shrill generally and which could summon help or rescue, although in present society this doesn't hold water as many cases exist where people stood around and watched the thing. Protecting you neck and throat and being able to get out of such strangleholds and chokes,etc. is a priority in rape prevention and should be given to women along with very aggressive moves to effect release from attackers.
