NOT A WWII FIGHTER ACE ACROBATIC - BUT HOW TO DISLODGE THAT AWKWARD PIECE OF LOBSTER THERMADORE.
True choking victims can’t make a sound as their airways will be completely obstructed. So if your dining companion becomes silent, points at their throat and looks faintly blue, you’ve only got seconds to act…
Grab the victim from behind, wrapping your arms around their waist.

Grasp your fist with your other hand and press into their upper abdomen with a quick, upward thrust.
Confine the force of the thrust to your hands.
Repeat until object is expelled. The lungs are never completely empty and the remaining air should propel the lodged object from the throat with considerable power.
