How do I get out of the car in the event of an accident?
Modern cars are designed so that the "cage" of the passenger compartment remains intact in an accident at a permissible speed (normally not more than 70 km/h). The doors should open without problems and efforts. But there are times when it is difficult to get out of the car: can lock the door lock, the car may turn or fall into the water. To get out of these situations with minimal consequences, you need to know exactly the sequence of actions in such situations and in no way panic.
Typical situations
There are several main reasons that might prevent you from getting out of the car that crashed. It was a lock of doors, unfastened seat belt, and a severely deformed body, which lay a man.
In the first case, you should break the glass. Any heavy-preferably pointed-object. You need to hit one point, the center of the side glass. Don't try to knock the windshield out if it's not broken. This can only help in very old cars, where the windshield is held in the sticks on the sealant. It is almost impossible to strike a glued windshield from the inside: glass is very dense and glued from several layers.
If there is nothing heavy to break the window, you can use the head restraint
The spell-belt doesn't have to be jerky. It must be cut or cut (if there is) or attempted to be released in the area of the castle. It is also possible to try to reduce the belt in the coil area located on the central pillar of the body. If the belt can be weakened, we can get under it.
If the driver is in the car, you need to try to relax your muscles and free up. The movements must be smooth, no ropes.
Little Rescuers
In a situation where you need to get out of the machine, you can help both hand objects and special devices. A T-shaped screwdriver or a hexagonal key, simple screwdriver or little hammer, to break the glass. It is also possible to use the ignition key by clening it in such a way that it is pressed from the outside, between the middle finger and the forefinder.
You can break glass with a special hammer and a woman's heel. The main thing is to hit hard and at one point.
In addition, it is possible to remove the glass from the head restraint by removing it from the back. To do this, you typically press the button next to one of the currents and pull the head restraint up. It is also possible to insert one of the head restraints between the gasket and the glass, and then pull the head restraint on and off. The glass must be cracked and covered. Another glass can be broken into a woman's heel or a cell phone tort.
There are also special devices for breaking glass. It may be a small hammer (such as can be seen in public transport) or a pocket knife with a special rustle to break glass.
If you need to cut the safety belt, you can only use a knife or a special device. The belt of the belt, for example, by a broken glass, is almost useless because the belt is very strong. Some pocket knives (mostly models intended for lifeguavers) are equipped with a special blade to cut a safety-belt. It is distinguished by rounded protruations on the working surface. Devices designed to break the glass and cut the safety-belt are also made in the form of a key fob, which can be attached to the car key.
If the car fell into the water
It is also necessary to be prepared for this situation. The sequence of actions when evacuating a car from the fallen into the water may not seem obvious, sometimes frightening, but it must be respected. First of all, you don't have to panic. The car is completely under water for 1-2 minutes, but only if you start acting as soon as the car is in the water and does everything right.
If a car fell into the water, it would be necessary to act immediately, as it would be completely under water in 1 to 2 minutes
First of all, you need to calm down, take off your clothes, which might stop swimming (for example, a jacket). If the water level from the outside has risen above the seat cushion level, the door is likely to be closed. We need to break the glass and try to get through it.
If the water level reached the bottom edge of the side glass, the glass still needs to be broken. The salon starts to enter the water, the pressure is outside and the inside will align and increase the chance that the door will open.
It is important to open the door first and then unbutton the seat belt. Otherwise, the driver or passenger of the water can carry the water from the exit, and the cabin will receive a very large amount of water for a few seconds. Also, the fastening belt will give an additional emphasis when opening the door (despite the level of pressure being adjusted, it will not be easy to do). When you get out, you have to get away from the car with your feet and swim to the surface.
In the case of accidents, the main thing is to remain calm. Do not attempt to get out of the car before it is fully stopped, or immediately after it stops if it is on the carriageway. A chance of survival inside a car is much higher if someone else is suddenly hit. If the car fell into the water, you don't have to wait, you need to act now.
Small items such as a screwdriver, a knife, a hammer to break the glass, or a special tool that can be used to break the glass and cut the safety belt, which are in the car, are capable of saving the life and health of the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
