If you are stuck inside a car that is underwater, you need to get out.
This is easier said than done.
While harrowing as an experience, escaping from a sinking car is well within
the realm of possibility.
1. Before your car hits the water, it is important to know what are the tools
and techniques available in your car to help you escape.
2. Once you've hit the water, you'll have no chance of opening a door due
to the outside pressure exerted by the water. Ten meters of water is roughly
one atmosphere or 14 pounds per square inch. So let's just say your door
is 4x3 feet, that's like 24,000 pounds of pressure at 10 meters. Shit, you're
really screwed aren't you?
3. Oh right, you can roll down you window or something to equalize the
pressure or whatever. But in most cases your bourgeois power windows will
not work underwater.
4. That's when your headrest comes in handle. Insert the steel handle into
the edge between the glass and window housing. Apply inward pressure to
scatter the glass as shown in the above video.
5. Before the car fills up entirely, take this chance to inhale deeply. Don't try
that sharing oxygen bullshit from James Bond either, it doesn't work. You're
just going to be sharing Carbon Dioxide, and your friend's gonna think you're
a pervert. Once the car's all filled up, unbuckle your seatbelt, open the door
and make your way to freedom.
