Escaping your vehicle under water.

Over the years, I have seen numerous videos and products demonstrating how to break glass to escape from a vehicle.
I wonder how long electric windows work in a vehicle when it starts to sink in a pond. This isn't a problem for me since I live in an area where it hardly rains. What do monkeys here think?

 

Given that many newer vehicles use a control module, probably not very long at all.

 

Seat belt cutter and spike hammer unit carried on board , Ya do know cars move to other areas !

 

Keep a window hammer in car. Call me crazy but I rarely wear a seat belt, grew up. without them

 

Myth busters did 3 episodes on this.

 

forget about those hammers - VERY limited usage - if you can get them to work at all - the hammers need to hit the edges & corners that are rigidly & reinforced held by the door framing >>> sit in the cockpit - strapped in - try using your hammer

what the pros use is a sping loaded punch - works where ever you place it on the glass >>>

 

Whatever you do, make sure Ted Kennedy is not in the car.

 

I have spring loaded window breaker and seatbelt cutters within reach of both driver and passenger in my 4x4.
