Fear of death
Elizabeth Banks almost choked on a pea
According to US actress Elizabeth Banks, she was recently saved from choking by the Heimlich grip.
On the set of her new thriller "Skincare", she choked on a pea at lunch, the 50-year-old reported on the US program "Good Morning America". "I really couldn't breathe and it was incredibly scary."
"I was so scared"
She was alone in her caravan at the time, Banks continued. "I pushed the door open, couldn't make a sound, I was so scared. It was terrible. I happened to see someone who said, "Are you choking?"
"When she gestured yes to the man, he performed the Heimlich on her, freeing her windpipe from the pea," she said. "His name is Julius and he is my guardian angel," said Banks. Since then, she has told everyone about the incident so that everyone learns the Heimlich hold.
The Heimlich hold involves placing a clenched fist between the victim's chest and navel from behind, grabbing the fist with the other hand and squeezing hard and jerkily.
