Accident Preparedness: The Escape from a Submerged Car

Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: Don Carter, Jr

Statistics have shown that in 2012 alone, the sheer number of vehicular accidents and fatalities will be enough to give you nightmares and will render you fearful of the steering wheel. Needless to say, imagining yourself in a submerged-car incident will most likely be a stuff made for horror stories. However, no matter how horrifying it is, one should not be frozen with fear. What must be done is to always be prepared and to know the car escape tool that you will need in times such as that.

Rule No. 1: Remain calm, keep your focus on the situation and brace yourself for impact.

- Your tires may skid along a slippery road and with a wrong steer; you sensed that you are definitely hitting the water. Keep yourself together and concentrate on the situation. You are sure that there will be an impact which means that you can expect the airbag to set off. Knowing this, you should remember the "brace position" – meaning placing your hands on the "9 and 3" locations of the steering wheel. This position will allow the airbag to inflate without causing you any serious injuries.

Rule No. 2: Unbuckle

- According to the cold water immersion expert, Dr Gordon Geisbrecht, once the vehicle touched the water and the impact has been handled efficiently, one must do away with the seat belt. It should be immediately unbuckled or cut. It is important to note that it is a good idea to plan and prepare for things such as this. Keep an emergency car escape tool and include a seatbelt cutter. By having released your seatbelt, it will allow more free movements that you critically need in escaping the car. Remember that every second counts.

Rule No 3: Forget the 911 call

- Many people have lost their lives because of this unnecessary action. As it has been said, every second counts, so a second spent for a call is a second wasted and a second that could have been used for escape. Make the call once you are afloat or if you're the one witnessing the whole accident scenario.

Rule No. 4: Open your windows instead of opening your doors.

- First, if you try to pry the doors open, it will prove very hard because of the pressure imbalance. The amount of effort that you have exerted in trying to open your doors up could have been your saving factor if you have used it in breaking your windows instead.
- It has been seen that vehicles will be afloat for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on its weight. This is the most ideal time to roll down your windows and escape.
- In case your car submerged a little faster than expected, you can still roll your windows down or break it. Most often than not, car windows are controlled by electronics and there is a high chance that it will malfunction. It will now be great to have a car escape tool handy – a handy hammer that can crack it or a car escape tool with a spring-loaded mechanism that shatter glass. Each is an effective car escape tool to be used in such instance.
- In the absence of car escape tool such as that, you can use any heavy implement or your feet and a really strong kick. Aim for the center of the window and it is also important to note that your best bet for survival are the side and rear windows. Do not attempt to break the windshield, with or without the use of the car escape tool.

Rule No. 5: Help the children first.

- Unbuckle the eldest for there is a chance that he or she can help you unbuckle the rest of the passengers once their free. Then make them escape the broken window and carry in your arms the youngest and the most incapable.
Rule No. 6: Get out and swim fast.

- Needless to say, no number of car escape tool will work out if you dwindle in your swimming. Get out of the rolled down or broken window and swim as fast as you can.
