Momma always said it was “better safe than sorry,” and the trick presented below is important to know.
While I hope you are never trapped or locked in a car, it’s a frightening scenario that has a chance of happening. You never know if you’ll ever be stuck in that kind of situation, but if you are, it’s important to know how to get out. While convention tells us to break the glass and climb out, car windows don’t exactly work like that. In fact, there is a very different kind of glass used for car windows, so its important to understand how it works.
Destin from popular YouTube channel Smarter Every Day explains how the glass in car windows work. When designing these windows, engineers wanted to ensure that the glass would not harm us in the event of a wreck or accident. As a result, the glass used is extremely strong and durable. They use a kind of glass known as tempered glass. This kind of glass doesn’t break when you hit in the middle.
However, it can break if you hit it in another location, and this completely goes against your intuition. Watch the video below and learn where you should hit a car window in order to break out. This is very good to know!
