2. Key self-rescue steps after a vehicle falls into water
1. Golden 30 seconds: Stay calm and act quickly
When the vehicle first falls into the water (within about 30 seconds), the door can still be opened. You need to immediately unfasten your seat belt, open the window or door to escape. If a short circuit causes the window to lock, you need to use a window breaking tool (such as a safety hammer) to break the side window (the front windshield is difficult to break).
2. Window breaking techniques and tool selection
| Tool type | effectiveness | Recommendation index |
|---|---|---|
| Special window breaking hammer | Broken with one blow | ★★★★★ |
| Headrest metal rod | Requires skills | ★★★☆☆ |
| High heels/keys | Poor effect | ★☆☆☆☆ |
3. Emergency treatment after water level rises
If you fail to escape in time, when the car is about to be filled with water, take a deep breath and push the door hard (it will be easier to open after the water pressure is balanced). Never struggle blindly to avoid consuming oxygen.
3. Precautions for prevention and insurance
1. Check the weather and route before driving
Avoid driving on low-lying roads during heavy rain and pay attention to real-time weather warnings. New energy vehicle owners should note: wading the battery pack in water may cause a short circuit, and it is recommended to avoid the water if the depth exceeds 30 centimeters.
2. Key points in insurance claims
| Insurance type | Whether to pay compensation | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| car damage insurance | Yes | After 2020, water-related responsibilities have been included |
| Wading additional insurance | No | Incorporated into car damage insurance |
| secondary ignition damage | No | Need special attention |
4. Hot discussions between experts and netizens
1.@ traffic safety professor 李: After the vehicle falls into the water, the electric window may malfunction. It is recommended that manual window-winding models prepare window-breaking tools.
2.Actual test feedback from netizens: Most people mistakenly believe that the headrest can break the window. In fact, the force needs to be aimed at the edge of the glass, and the success rate is only 40%.
Conclusion
Although the vehicle falling into the water accident occurs unexpectedly, scientific response can greatly improve the survival rate. It is recommended that car owners carry window-breaking tools with their vehicles, practice escape procedures regularly, and pay attention to the details of insurance clauses. Safety is no small matter, take precautions before they happen!
