My folks instructed us in how to escape any number of threats: Fire (go out the second floor window), boating (we all could swim well, and float in the water for a long time, even without a lifejacket), car crash in water (escape through window when water was past upper seat height), break-in (don't go down stairs unless parents are threatened and attacked, and then only with our handguns, which we were responsible for).
