(Copy-paste of my comment on my friend's Facebook post of this video):
That's an awesome video. I've done first aid courses twice, and not long after completely forgot the timing for cpr that they said 'X presses down then a breath, then x more at a rate of blah blah blah', and a few different combinations thereof based on age of person. Completely forgettable and ended up with me thinking I should do nothing instead of trying because I wouldn't do it the right way. Switching to hands only, and having something as genius as a well known song to do it to in your head is just A+.

I chew my nails when I run out of gum.

I do recall hearing the "Staying Alive" bit somewhere (methinks Radio Lab podcast?) but they ALSO mentioned that "Another One Bites the Dust" has nearly the same beats per minute. Clearly, the mental context of the latter is a bit more depressing, but hey, if you're a Queen fan and know the timing of that song intimately, you can sing that in your head instead.

This is mega-awesome, but I do have one tiny problem with it: why lock fingers? It looks as if you will risk hurting yourself easier by doing that, and hand-on-top-of-hand is just as effective.

It's probably the easiest way to make sure you maximize the force rather than dispersing it over a wider area. It's also easy to remember

But I already learned this from The Office....and how to harvest the organs!

You're right.

Of all the CPR PSA's I've seen today, this one is by far the best!

Was that Errol?

How come he didn't do CPRs in The Cape?
