What can happen in an auto accident and what the authorities say to do...
(From 6/1/00 Miami Herald article in Action Line)

The most important thing is not to panic. If your windows are open or you can open them, follow the advice POGO - Pop your safety belt, Open the window, Get Out.

If you can't get out through the window, try the door. At first, the water pressure will keep it closed. As the water rises inside the car, it will equalize the pressure and you should be able to open it.

Don't panic because the struggle will wear you down float to the top so you can breathe. Crack open the windows slightly to allow water in slowly until the car is three-quarters full. Then you should be able to open the door.

If your doors have power locks you can open the locks manually.

If your car has power windows and they're shut, they may short-circuit once the car is submerged. The only way to deal with that is to break the glass.

Having something readily available to do that could save your life. Ponds and lakes are often murky so don't count on being able to see much.

Seat belts may jam in accidents. SOS Emergency Rescue and Safety Hammer™ has a razor-sharp knife that will cut through your seat belt. It's crucial you keep your seat belt on while driving. If you get injured you may not be able to get yourself out. Once the car is in the water, release it as soon as possible.

Once you're out of the vehicle, figure out which way is up. Look for clues such as light, which means that way is up, and bubbles, which float to the surface. Avoiding the situation is best. Be aware of your surroundings, know where there's water and drive defensively.

The SOS Emergency Rescue and Safety Hammer™ is a piece of equipment you can store and mount in your car interior so you will always know where it is.

The SOS Emergency Rescue and Safety Hammer™ has a double-steel tip that can break out a side window (not the windshield).


Real Life Customer Story

"Mr. White --I've gotten together a "road emergency" kit for each of my family members, blanket, hand warmers, small snack foods, hats, gloves, etc. I saw your auto escape hammer earlier in the week and didn't order.

My husband was in a very bad accident last evening, one which involved not only being trapped by his airbag, but, when he finally got the bag away from his face, he couldn't get the seatbelt undone, which wasn't good news considering the flames he could see coming from the engine...needless to say, I would like to purchase 3 of these hammers...as I should have the first time I saw them. Thank you for selling this product."
