Even though it was done in a controlled environment and Adam had oxygen supply and Jamie ready to help you still have to appreciate him doing it few times. It must be a scary experience.

Take the headrest off one of the front seats, you will see that most of them will work perfectly to break your window in an emergency:)

@nicholascrow8133 Год назад

They touched on it here quickly, but I still want to add that holding your breath should be a last ditched effort after all other methods. You have to wait until the car reaches the bottom of the water before the pressure equalises, which in an accident you might not know how deep that is. They touched on it also in the revisit. Basically whilst the car is sinking there is still a pressure differential, even if the car is full of water.

@rustylittle7356 6 месяцев назад

no, you just have to wait until the air is out of the whole cabin.

@nicholascrow8133 6 месяцев назад

@@rustylittle7356 No, you have to wait until the car hits the bottom. Even with the cabin full of water, as the car is sinking there will still be a pressure difference, one that makes it even harder to open the door as the cabin is now filled with non compressible liquid instead of air.. They covered this in a revisit.

The problem with the paper-folding myth is agreeing on when the paper is so thick you're rolling it instead of folding it.

@MrAbraxus666 Год назад

I believe you can use the headrest to break a window. Take it off, wedge it in to the bottom corner of the window and then pull back with everything you've got. Should break the window. Just don't try it.

@jayvellacott2970 Год назад

Best to buy the hammer/punch tool from this episode. But use the metal bottom of the headrest as a backup. Also on some cars the headrest doesn’t easily come out of the seat.

I don't think they really proved you can't open a window under water. They placed weights on the window to simulate the water pressure, but those weights probably add a lot more friction than water. So I'm not fully convinced opening the window wouldn't work. Of course I wouldn't bet on it either.

@nicholascrow8133 Год назад

The only friction they added was that between the window and the frame, which water pressure also will do. A couple of psi adds up to a lot over a surface as large as the window. They noted that the weight was equivalent to being submerged 2 feet and whilst it might have been more clear if they showed the math (at the risk of boring some viewers), I'm confident they still did the math correctly.

@cube2fox Год назад

@@nicholascrow8133 Water is known to be quite slippery. Cleaning staff regularly put up warning signs because wet floors tend to be slippery.

@nicholascrow8133 Год назад

@@cube2fox That's not how it works. There was no added friction from the weights, they would've moved with the window same as with the water...

Car in water: Open the window and get out of it. If it doesn't open anymore (because the electrical system already failed) you'll have to relax and wait for the car to fill up. The car will sink to fast to open the door before, except if you do it before ending up in the water. Tge paper folding: For a normal A4 paper it's impossible. Or letter... But come on USA... Adapt the metric system and ISO Standards like the rest of the world... And why the Nasa hangar sized attempt? Grant already did it with a bigger and thinner paper! 😅

@taekwondotime Год назад

In reality, you would be plunging into dark, dirty water, possibly at night. The car may even tumble over and go upside down. Plus you're probably still wearing your seatbelt, and may have had an airbag deploy in your face. So there you are upside down in freezing cold water, and you can't see anything. Panic would set in immediately. The sober reality is that in 99% of these cases, the occupants drown.

@SoggyButtowski Год назад

11000 accidents like this a year and 300 deaths and you say 99% death?

@taekwondotime Год назад

@@SoggyButtowski Assuming the person is actually plunging into water deep enough for the entire car to sink, yes. If it's just shallow water like a tiny stream or the edge of a marsh then no.

@taekwondotime Год назад

@@SoggyButtowski What typically saves the occupants in the car is the fact that the water they crash into isn't deep enough for the car to fully submerge. Water might get up to the doors but that's about it in the majority of these cases. For the other cases where the car does go completely under, there's a RU-vid channel of a guy who trawls rivers and lakes with sonar equipment looking for the lost cars because they're so difficult to find.

It would make more sense for manufactures to install window breakers. Cheaper, more effective and doesn't require training. When Adam talked about the revisit episode on tested, in the confusion of the car flipping he both put the regulator in upside down and also managed to take a breath full of water.
