View larger. | The Threat of Entrapment
Entrapment, the inability to escape a vehicle in the event of an emergency, is a very real threat to motorists. According to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics last publication, there are over 42,000 crash fatalities each year. That is almost 1 death every 12 minutes. Of these, an estimated 500 people died while trapped inside their vehicles. Along with water related incidents, a potential factor in this disturbing number of emergencies is the growing prevalence of power windows that can become jammed due to submersion or fire. As a result of these facts the demand for high-performance automobile safety equipment is on the rise, with ResQMe fast becoming the most convenient option in vehicles all across North America. With ResQMe drivers can be confident that they will be able to cut through safety belts and smash car windows, when every second counts. How Does it Work?
At just a hair over 3-inches in length and .6 ounces, ResQMe easily fits on to your keychain with a detachable clip. This small size also allows it to be stored in any number of places convenient to the driver, including a hanging position directly on the the steering or shifting columns, or in the extra key compartment under the dash. In the event of an entrapment pull the clip away from the product to reveal the cutter (blade). Hook this over a jammed seat belt and pull to free yourself. To activate the window breaker, simply push the black head against a side window until the concealed spring-loaded spike releases and shatters the window. Shattering a side window with ResQMe takes as little as 12 lb of pressure, meaning that virtually anyone can use it. And the fact that the blade can stand up to several uses and that the spike is easily loaded back into the ready position means that you will always be ready if you are unfortunate enough to be faced with another emergency incident. Features: - Spring-loaded head effortlessly smashes the vehicle's side windows with only 12 lb Of force.
- Razor sharp blade slices through jammed seat belts and is safely surrounded by the plastic casing.
- ResQMe's included clip detaches from the body, allowing the user to quickly access the blade.
- Clip doubles as a device to hang ResQMe from a keychain or other accessible area.
- Originally offered exclusively to fire, paramedic and police organizations, but is now available to the public.
- Contains an imprintable area suitable for personalization with user or company name.

I got a couple of these a coupld weeks back after watching a Mythbusters episode about submerged cars. For my wife the unit is small and easily added to here key ring. I hung mine from the seatbelt in my car. I had some tempered glass laying around my garage, so I gave it a quick try. It worked as expected. With just a little bit of pressure the glass was punctured and immediately shattered.
I highly recommend this device, especially give its low price.

While I haven't had to use in an emergency, I did test this product out on an old car door/window assembly and it worked quickly and easily. Just press it against the window (it takes a little bit of pressure) and it instantly crumbles to pieces. Even above water the glass didn't explode, it simply crumbled away. In water I would guess it would just float safely away but broken glass would be the least of your worries if you were in that situation.

I just got mine in the mail today For quite a few years I have done various volunteers duties involving search and rescue and other life saving volunteer work including CIVIL AIR PATROL AND TE AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY SERVICE and for many years I have carried an automatic center punch as a rescue tool and I also had a seat belt cutter but having 2 tools in one is a great idea I tested the spring loaded punch and it should work fine for punching out a window in an emergenvcy this tool is a welcomed addition to my emergency equipment in fact I may be getting a couple more to keep them handy just in case and Evan give as a gift it could very well be the gift of life
