Hahaha! There’s always that danger you’ll drive into a pond or flooded roadway though. Happens firly often

OW??? Sorry to hear bout your pain in the @r$e! But aside from the other suggestions, you can also use maiskng tape (not duct tape!) laid gently over the skin and peeled away (a new piece each time!) and that will help get out some of the smaller shards that you can’t see or get at with tweezers. I do this to get fiberglass out of my skin (my fiance works for a boat manufacturer and comes home with it all in his clothes). Whatever you are unable to remove or have removed, your body will end up pushing out on its own by way of small pimple-like bumps. The tiny pieces will come out in the pus. Sorry for being so graphic, but that’s how it works. Just keep the area clean you can put peroxide into a spray bottle and apply it that way if it hurts too much to actually bathe. This will help prevent infection until it’s all out.

If this advice was not for “illegal” purposes, why did you mention that hitting with a hammer makes “ton of noise.?”

That’s not the point. If you take a breath of air at depth then as you surface the air in your lungs will expand – to avoid serious injury you must breath out whilst ascending.

If you merely take a lungful of air at the surface, dive to depth then resurface again then there is no danger.

Not really, as it’s not the contact points outside that matter. The pressure of the water is pressing the window against the car’s molding and frame. The point of contact that matters is between glass and car. The weights placed on the window were free-standing, so would not have had an anchor to cause friction to enter the equation.

Agreed, water against the window will have little to no friction. They had a manual window car underwater numerous times the whole show and could have tested it but decided not to. I think this was a decision by the producers of the show. Maybe to help sell window breaker hammers.

I agree with the manual window opening. It will open. With the 350lb weight they are using a completely different example of torque than if it was under water. They didnt test it underwater even though they had a car with manual windows underwater numerous times. Leads me to believe it was a decision by the produces.

you couldnt move your elbow with wnough velocity underwater to break a window. unless you have a spring loaded elbow.
