In the video, the man filmed himself kneeling on a floor.
He said, “If you are by yourself and you’re choking, what you’re going to want to do is get on your knees like this.”
The man continued and said, “This is going to hurt.”

He then stretched out his arms and landed on his stomach on the floor.
He told viewers, “What that does is basically the same thing as a Heimlich maneuver. It forces the air out of your trachea.”
