Beijing suffered heavy rain storm trapped inside the car how to escape safely

After the heavy rain on June 23, 2011, Beijing was hit by heavy rain in the past two days. The average precipitation is the maximum value observed since Beijing recorded a meteorological observation in 1951. Within one day, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued five consecutive warnings, and the rainstorm warning rose from blue to orange. According to the Meteorological Observatory, this is also the first storm orange warning since the establishment of the weather warning system in Beijing in 2005. "Come to Beijing to see the sea" and "Beijing torrential rain" have become the first hot words on the topic of bib. The scene of “Shuiman” can be seen everywhere, so we can't help thinking that when we are trapped in the car, what is the solution to escape from the water?

Escape Way 1: Open the Side Door

When the vehicle is driving to a location where the water level is higher, the occupant should drive away to open the door as soon as possible, when it is impossible to judge whether the road ahead is safe. Do not wait until the water does not reach the edge of the window and then try to open the door, because at that time the pressure inside the car is the largest, and psychological factors such as inner panic difficult to open the door.

Escape Way II: Chiseled Car Window

If the location of the vehicle is already wading deeper, look for sharp objects in the car that can break the side window glass. At this point need to pay attention to several errors:

1. Never attempt to use a hammer, high heels, watches, belt buckles and other tools to open the window. The scenes that appear in TV dramas usually have a premise that is “virtually fictional” when the driver is in danger. In the environment, using steamed bread is the most suitable tool.

2. The second misunderstanding is: Do not try to use your feet to get a windshield or go windscreen, that is not to escape.

3. Do not ask for a closer. Some owners will feel that opening the skylight to climb out will save time and effort. If the sunroof can be opened, the glass of the four side windows can also be lowered (the electric circuit in the car is still working). The side window is larger than the sky window, and it is more convenient for people in the vehicle to escape. In addition, if there are more people in the vehicle, if they escape from the skylight, they can only climb out one by one. If they walk from the four side windows, they can greatly Save valuable time.

4. When the car falls into the water, the front sinks first, so escape from the rear seat of the car should be as far as possible. This statement is "somewhat". Most vehicles are heavy and light. Once falling into the water, the front of the car is sinking and the rear of the car is upturned. The water entering the rear seat will be slightly later. However, in a narrow compartment, it is not easy for the front seat occupants to move to the back seat quickly. If they do not, they will lose valuable time for escape due to panic. The correct approach is to escape to the nearest place.

5. Find a large plastic bag over your head and fasten it around your neck. The air inside the bag will provide oxygen for underwater escape. This is definitely a paradox of misguided lives. When people are nervous, they breathe quickly and their oxygen consumption increases. What's more, when they face the test of life and death? The air inside the plastic bag can only be a glass of water, and it can't do anything at all. When you escape underwater, putting a plastic bag on your head can also affect your sight, judgment, and actions.
