Though you probably won't ever need to land a plane, escape from a sinking car, or fend off an attacking shark, Worst Case Scenarios has the details available for you, in case you need them.

From the team that brought the world The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook (and the many, many spin-offs), this online resource is available to soothe the fears of even the most nervous adventurer. (Either that, or it'll keep you up at night, worrying about whether you've correctly remembered the steps for stopping bleeding caused from a bullet wound.) Among the most useful travel-related scenarios:

• How to jump from rooftop to rooftop
• How to survive a trip over a waterfall
• How to control a runaway camel

And my favorite: How to foil a UFO abduction. Because that happens almost every time I'm on the road.
