It is not safe to leave an ice pad in a car under direct sunlight. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction to ice pads: High-molecular gel efficiently absorbs body heat into the ice pad. Through the gel's high thermal conductivity and diffusivity, effective heat exchange and conduction are established between the body and the gel pad, as well as between the gel pad and the surrounding air. This process actually provides a more efficient heat dissipation pathway for the contact surface between the body and the mattress, which originally had poor heat dissipation, thereby expanding the body's heat dissipation area and creating a comfortable and effective cooling effect. 2. Precautions: To ensure driving safety, when purchasing an ice pad, it is essential to check whether it has sufficient friction to prevent body slippage, which could affect normal driving operations. Additionally, the ice pad must be securely fixed to the seat and not merely placed loosely. Placing a cooling pad on the driver's seat can be dangerous during emergency braking, as the forward inertia of the body can easily cause the driver to slide off the seat. This situation is particularly common among petite female drivers who often use seat cushions to increase their height while driving.
