So many have commented on having a window breaker so that one can get out. I wondered how these actually work underwater and so did a search on this... it turned out to be quite interesting as there are endless videos on youtube about this.

Two takeaways from what I found out...
1. Since the engine on an ICE car is the heavy spot, the front end will sink first. I’m not sure where the heavy spot is on an EV but that would be important to know.
2. Very important.... You must have a good quality window breaking device and that means one that is spring loaded that will pop out and destroy the glass. You can not swing a hammer underwater and in fact, at the first link it shows a hammer that actually broke and the guy using it wasn’t even in the water.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqHfONs80AA This one did not work at all and in fact it broke!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqBW1OSepbw This one worked well and the guy doing the demo did it with the car essentially full of water.

Bottom line... it is very important to have one of these in the car but it has to be a good quality one. And I suspect that by ‘good quality’, this means finding out for sure that it will break the glass for the car that you have. I have no doubt that some glass is much harder to break than others.

And that’s my public safety service message for the day.....
