They showed this on the evening news. Four brave men saved an old lady trapped in that burning car.

Those men did a courageous and beautiful thing. The preparedness of whoever had that fire extinguisher played no small role in saving that woman's life too.

You will NOT understand how hard it is to break a car window until someone is burning behind it.
A similar thing (burning car) happened not far from my house a few years back, she didn't make it despite 2 broken hands trying to bust the window. Car tech is both good and bad sometimes. Of course when you start rolling, the car/truck auto locks the doors. Now... someone please send auto manufacturers an email to put in a smoke or temp sensor, so if the car is on fire, the doors unlock. Watching someone burn to death is some of the stuff nightmares are made off.

Yikes.
It's true that car windows are tough. We just got the little window-breaking hammers, one for each car, with seat-belt cutters. Hoping they never get used. Windshield and back windows might be easier to break than a side window; you can get more force on it between the point of impact and the edge of the glass. |

I am common folk... while everyone else was looking in their car, I would be looking for the nearest rock. Mother nature provides kinda thing. Time and effort does not always match sometimes.

Makes me wonder. Many of us wear belts w/ metal buckles. Maybe whipping a window would readily break it?
Another solution may be to take off the hood prop if you have an older car and start beating on the glass with the hook. Also, don't be trying to get through the windshield, it's laminated and will be pretty much impossible to get through without cutting/chopping tools. |

I think because so many have comfortable city-lives now, they are not forced to familiarize themselves with preparedness. Almost anything you need can be summoned very quickly and cheaply, so the idea of preparing can be foreign to many. I still think it's prudent though. They wouldn't have saved that woman if someone hadn't have thought in advance to carry that fire extinguisher in their vehicle.

I am more likely to have something on me that is good for more than just an emergency.

When on the fire dept, many of the guys carried spring loaded center punches to break side and rear windows.

Guys, forget all those tools when you're in the car and need to get out
Take your headrest out and start smashing, it has pointed metal ends that are perfect for applying the right amount of pin point pressure to smash the **** out of windows Or just drive a 23 year old truck that has manual roll down windows, they don't break as much as power windows too!

Reach into a pocket in the dash and grab a center punch OR turn around (if you can far enough with a seat belt on), find the damn little button that unlocks the headrest, try and pull it out straight without cocking or jamming it and use that?

A center punch is more accessible, however the headrest is always accessible. If it's easier you can take the one from your passenger seat, less rotation involved.
The key in any crisis is to avoid panicking. Panic clouds judgement and can prevent you from executing any necessary actions for self preservation Edit: you also need to take your seat belt off at some point to exit the vehicle, in this situation doing so sooner rather than later is ideal as the buckles tend to be metal which will absorb heat quickly

On another note, I'm checking the bottoms of the posts in my head rests in all my vehicles tonight to see if they're all pointed. I've never noticed it before.

I don't think the headrest bottoms in either of our cars are pointed, but I don't think it would take much of a "point" to break the window. The important piece would be a small point of impact, and some weight behind it. The headrest is a good idea because it gives you something to grip while you smash.

The ones in my previous vehicles had pointed ends, current vehicle does not have a detachable headrest but I can roll windows down and I do have a knife on hand with a sturdy pointed handle
