This one hurts extra, considering my two best friends drowned on 15ft of water in a car they drove over a pier in the dark at midnight. They were found 4 days later because no one had heard from them since they left to go home from a family get-together. One part of the "myth" they don't test, is the extremely hard impact that happens when driving at 45 mph directly into the water. It's equivalent of driving straight into a wall which has a VERY plausible chance of knocking you out, making it even more impossible to escape. Here they are carefully lowering the car into the water, giving them the very best chance of being able to react immediately upon seeing or feeling the water entering the car.

Everybody should have a glass breaking tool in a spot you can quickly access in case of an emergency. I have a hardened spiked hammer with an attached seat belt cutter in the handle. I keep it in the center console so I can easily get to it without having to reach. You could also get a spring loaded spike. The spike on these tools causes a huge amount of pressure on one tiny spot of the glass and will shatter the glass very easily. You don't even have to hit the window hard. You can get them for cheap. Like $15. They used such tools during the episode. If you fall in the drink, the tools can easily break the window regardless of the water pressure. The tools can also help you escape after an accident, if the car is damaged enough to where you can open the doors. I definitely recommend carrying something like that at all times. Breaking a car window is actually a lot more difficult than you might think. And if you are injured, it may be impossible without tools. And of course, I carry a custom built emergency first aid kit with military grade components, such as a tourniquet, quikclot and a chest decompression catheter, plus much more. The standard first aid kit you get at a store or the ones that come with the car in an emergency kit aren't going to do much for major injuries. Band aids ain't gonna help you much when you've lost a leg. Search "IFAK" (individual first aid kit) on Ebay or Amazon and get a pre assembled kit. You can add your own extras if you wish. They are a bit expensive, about $80-$150 depending on exactly what you get. But it never has to be replaced unless used, and it can save lives. I still have the same one I built from 2012. Although the components are expired and not sterile, if you are bleeding to death, that doesn't matter. Besides, a lot of the components don't need to be sterile, like the tourniquet. Really the tourniquet is the most important component. That *will* save your life in the event of a major injury. By the time an ambulance arrives, it may be too late. If you don't want to spend the money on a full kit, just get a tourniquet. I recommend the H&H TK4L. Don't get a CAT tourniquet. The CAT (combat application tourniquet) is WAY too complicated and difficult to apply. I have a hard time applying it just practicing when there is no emergency. The TK4 is extremely simple. Basically just a hook and elastic band. I also recommend carrying a roll of Quikclot gauze. Just a tourniquet and Quikclot cost around $40-$50. Now most likely if I am that severely injured, I won't be able to use the kit on myself. I carry it mainly for if I come up on a recent serious accident scene, or witness one, to use it on an injured person. Also, if I am driving with somebody, we could use it on each other if one of us is not hurt badly. Although the equipment isn't gonna do any good if you don't know how to use it. The only person I frequently drive with is my girlfriend and she definitely knows how to use the kit. Seriously though, read up on and learn about first aid. Get the equipment. Save lives. Having such things may save your own life, or that of someone you know.

You’re discussing more specifically a trauma kit, right? In any case, having practice, even once or twice, helps a ton as well. Needing to try and figure out how to apply a tourniquet in a life or death scenario is not a great environment.

@DavidRichardson153
@DavidRichardson153 6 ай бұрын
​​​@@bertjesklotepino Laminated glass is not often used for side doors. Pretty much every car does have laminated glass, but far more often than not, it is only the windshield. That is because laminated glass is meant to be more resistant to heavier impacts, and on a car, virtually all heavier impacts are going to be on the windshield and for what should be fairly obvious reasons. The cars that do use laminated glass for the other windows tend to be armored cars. A few ultra-high-price luxury cars do use it for side windows as well, but that is for soundproofing rather than protection, so it tends to be the thinnest available laminated glass (it still provides some additional protection over tempered, but it is the lowest end of it). There are also two things to bear in mind about using additional laminated glass in a car (to reiterate, every windshield these days is laminated glass): weight and cost. Because laminated glass still uses tempered glass for its production, laminated glass is MUCH heavier (how heavy it is depends on how many layers it has), hence why you see windshield replacements go about it with rigs to hold the new windshield up. As for costs, because of the costs for producing the tempered glass that goes into laminated glass, not to mention the adhesives used to hold them together as well as the heat treatments for those and the entire piece, costs can climb really quickly, so car manufacturers tend to restrict using laminated glass to only the windshield. Because of this, the general rule for escaping your car is to never try to go through the windshield unless the windshield was already somehow knocked out of place or otherwise removed. The windshield is the glass that the breakers on the market rarely, if ever, work on.

So then i was like: "Err... okay, so they're going to use a hangar and giant sheets of paper to prove what i just did with a single ply?"

Yeah, when they were saying: "you can see it flexing", you could see the weight bumping into the rubber of the window, which kept it from opening. It looked like it was able to move, and if so, the more it moves down, the more rigid the window becomes and it should be able to go all the way down.

didn't top gear already do 5he sinking car thing? or was this before that top gear episode (in 2002 i belive). you could also break a window by removing the headrest and use the metal posts to break it

@@ВолодимирМахнюк-ю4х that exactly why the buckle is in a t-shape, it was designed that way as a safety feature, and there is plenty adequate extra belt to reach the dash(for the front seats atleast) so there is definitely enough play to use the buckle "freely"

A window underwater is a lot different from a bunch of heavy things that have a lot of friction resting on the window preventing you from rolling it down. Underwater pressure exerts no friction. The window would be easy to crank open
@Domanating
@Domanating Жыл бұрын
The friction that the objects do on the window itself is irrelevant. What matters is the friction of the window against the structure of the car door all around the window corners. Both the weights and the water apply pressure on the window and said pressure applies the friction between the window and the car door to prevent the window from opening. It's a valid test.

The easiest way to open the door if you fall into water is by breaking the glass with the dedicated window breaker hammer (like the ones seen in busses or trains). Anything else is far too difficult to pull off except the first Adam's attempt when the water reached his ankles. As for the paper folding myth - does anyone even care? What use is there for seven times folded paper anyway? The only thing i could think of in this regard would be breaking the world record at paper folding.

⁠@@JoeDurobot What it looked like on TV has nothing to do with it. The sitcom Friends in the ‘90s was filmed on film (light sensitive, needs to be developed with chemicals in a dark room), so now they can make very pretty 4K blu-rays of it. They can even make extremely pretty versions of old black and white movies as long as they have access to the original film reels. I’m going to guess that Mythbusters was filmed on magnetic videotape because that’s cheaper, and that means we’ll never get a nice resolution.

the "well there's your problem!" joke was slightly funny the first few times I heard it, after that it feels forced and cringe worthy, tv shows were awful back then, the content in one episode would fit in a 15 minute youtube video, but they stretch it out by adding filler and repeating the same clips many times, MB's was a great show despite the editing.

No, just take a sheet of toilet paper, peel a single ply from it and you can fold it 8 times without too much trouble. It might not look super pretty, but it is definitely folded.
