Most people who drown in submerged cars never knew what to do.
If your car ever ends up underwater, don’t panic — and remember these steps:
🔴 Don’t waste time trying to open the doors.
Water pressure makes them nearly impossible to push open while submerged.
🟠 Don’t roll down the windows.
Rushing water will make escape even harder — and can trap you faster.
🟡 Remove the headrest.
Most are detachable and can double as a window-breaking tool.
🟢 Break the back window.
Use the metal tip of the headrest (or a window-breaking tool) to smash the rear windshield — it’s designed to “kick out” and is your best exit point.
🔵 Why the back window?
By design, most vehicles float rear-first. That window will be your fastest, safest way out.
🟣 Knowledge is survival.
You may never need this. But if you do — it could save your life.
