What can happen
in an auto accident and what the authorities say to do...
(From 6/1/00 Miami Herald article in Action Line)
The most important
thing is not to panic. If your windows are open or you can open
them, follow the advice POGO
- Pop your
safety
belt, Open the window,
Get Out.
If you can't get out through the window, try the door.
At first, the water pressure will keep it closed. As the water
rises inside
the car,
it will
equalize the pressure and you should be able to open it.
Don't
panic because the struggle will wear you down float to the top
so you can breathe. Crack open the windows slightly
to allow
water
in slowly
until
the car is three-quarters full. Then you should be able to
open the door.
If your doors have power locks you can open
the locks manually.
If your car has power windows and they're shut,
they may short-circuit once the car is submerged. The only way
to deal with that is
to break the glass.
Having something readily available
to do that could save your life. Ponds and lakes are often murky
so don't count
on being
able to
see much.
Seat belts
may jam in accidents. SOS Emergency Rescue and Safety Hammer™ has
a razor-sharp knife that will cut through your seat
belt. It's crucial you keep your seat belt on while driving. If
you get injured you may not be able
to get yourself out. Once the car is in the water,
release it as soon as possible.
Once you're out of the vehicle,
figure out which way is up. Look for clues such as light, which
means
that way
is up,
and bubbles,
which
float to
the surface. Avoiding the situation is best. Be aware
of your surroundings, know
where there's water and drive defensively.
The SOS
Emergency Rescue and Safety Hammer™ is a piece of equipment
you can store and mount in your car interior so you will always
know where it is.
The SOS Emergency
Rescue and Safety Hammer™ has
a double-steel tip that can break out a side window (not the windshield). Real
Life Customer Story
"Mr. White --I've gotten together a "road
emergency" kit for each
of my family members, blanket, hand warmers,
small snack foods, hats, gloves, etc. I saw your auto escape hammer earlier in
the week and didn't order.
My husband
was in a very bad accident last evening, one which involved not
only being trapped by
his airbag, but, when
he finally got
the bag away from
his face, he couldn't get the seatbelt undone,
which wasn't good news considering the flames
he could
see coming from
the engine...needless
to say, I would
like to purchase 3 of these hammers...as I should
have the first time
I saw them.
Thank you for selling this product."
