Which part of the car window should be struck with a safety hammer?
1 Answers
When a driver needs to break the window for emergency escape, they should first attempt to shatter the side window. Below is additional information about safety hammers: 1. Function: In the event of an accident where the vehicle is sealed and the doors are too damaged to open due to strong impact, using a safety hammer to break the window can help passengers escape. In such situations, the safety hammer essentially becomes a "life-saving hammer." 2. Usage: Safety hammers are typically installed in easily accessible locations within enclosed spaces like cars. In emergencies such as fires or submersion in water, the hammer should be taken down, held firmly, and the metal head used to strike the four corners and edges of the glass. This is because tempered glass is strongest in the center, making the corners and edges the weakest points.
