I guess none of you have ever lived in Florida. If you already have a multitool, you already have a window punch. Point is, that's just another piece of equipment to carry on you that you'd hardly ever use in real world application.
That also got her attention, allowed me to talk to her and tell her to hold still, that the water wasn't going to get any higher, and that we'd get her out of there as soon as possible. So, I took out my screw driver attachment, pressed it against the corner of the rear door glass, and popped it with the back of my drug reference book. I was concerned of her making a back injury worse with her flailing, but I couldn't get the door open as it was wedged in agains the ground and she wasn't listening to me. It wasn't life threatening level, only coming up to their knees, but she was panicked by the prospect and she was bloody from the impact of her face against the steering wheel (no airbag), so she was flailing and trying to get out. One time I had to gain access to a window because I was the first on scene (usually fire beats us there, as they have more stations and thus usually closer to the incident.) The car was in a ditch, the person was in the water. I usually just have my Swiss Army knife on me. No skidmarks, it was single vehicle outside of the one he smashed into on the wrong side of the road. I'm buying one today.ītw, the man wasn't wearing his seat belt, and I think he arrested before the crash. Now, if I had a window punch, I could have gained access, MUCH easier and MUCH quicker. But because of the trouble we had gaining access to the vehicle, CPR was delayed 4 or 5 minutes. The man was v-fib originally, then went asystole after the first shock. (Yes, I did try to see if any of the doors were unlocked as soon as the officer broke his club) It was a residential area so one of the house owners lucky was able to run in to their house and find a hammer, allowing us to gain access to the car. He walks back to his bike to see if there was anything else he could use.
Get on scene and see the officer trying to break out the back window of the car, and he shatters his billy club attempting to break it. Put them on, while I'm walking over to the scene. I just got off work, so I had gloves in my pocket. Head on, looked bad, and it was only the cop, so I turn around and pull up the street a little bit and park. I saw him turn around, so I thought he was pulling someone over. First on scene was a motor cop who also just happened to be driving by. Today on the way home from work, I rolled up on a Fatal MVA. I am buying a window punch, I am keeping said punch in my car.
