act-dead to survive the death-act

from what i read on the news and saw on tv terrorists in mumbai would roam the building and kill people. if you try to run away you certainly make yourself a target and if you rather sit doing nothing then you probably have better chances if you pretend you're dead. do you think acting dead could help you survive a terrorist hostage situation like the one that happened in india? it's possible.

lie down among other people's dead bodies, cover yourself with blood in the face and hands, take very very small breaths and stay still. that requires training. acting schools could offer that. the act-dead kit will basically have capsules to simulate blood stains and shot wounds.
