Everyone should have a glass breaker in their car. Even if the car has mechanical doors.

It is said that the glass breaker no longer helps with laminated side windows. What then. Kicking the window out, if that's even possible, could be the only way.

I have two in the compartment between the front seats, and I also have an axe secured under the seat. However, accidents are random events; you never know what will happen. If these tools are still in place, can you reach them, and are you able to use them, among other things? So I wouldn’t count on it in the slightest.

Unfortunately kicking doesn’t work, it needs to be strong enough with momentum which you can’t do from the inside with current position, not to mention any injuries from the impact.

arnt car seat headrests designed for this use? You remove it from the seat and the "poles" are tapered for this purpose...
