How to Break a Car Window in an Emergency.

Hope this never happens to you.

But if one day you are trapped in a car...

Or that you need to break the window from the inside, here's what you need to know.

If you don't have any tools around you to break the glass, your salvation may be right behind your head.

Here's how to use your car seat's headrest to smash the car window:

You don't need to speak Japanese to understand what is happening in the video above.

This video shows you how to react in seconds.

How to

1. Detach the headrest from the seat.

2. Insert one of the headrest pegs into the gap between the window and the door seal.

3. Tap 2 or 3 times on the headrest. The goal is to get the ankle a few centimeters into the door.

4. Then pull the head restraint towards you, which will cause the window to flex sideways.

Result

As a result, the glass breaks easily :-)

Generally, safety glass is used.

It will therefore break and crumble without you risking cutting yourself.

And now you can now get out of the car quickly.

This trick is perfect if you get stuck in someone else's car.

But for your car, we advise you to have an emergency window breaker and belt cutter hammer like the one below.

Slip it into your glove compartment in case of an emergency.
