Be Prepared
Seconds matter in a submersion accident. Understanding what to do before it happens is the most important step.
In a vehicle submersion, you have roughly one minute to escape before water pressure makes opening doors or breaking windows nearly impossible.

Not all escape tools are created equal. Here's what works — and what to avoid.
Highly Recommended
Tools like the Resqme require no swinging motion — critical underwater where resistance is high. Clip to a keychain or sun visor so it's always within reach.
Recommended
Look for tools with a protected, recessed blade to quickly cut a jammed belt without injury risk. Many spring-loaded punches include an integrated cutter.
Use With Caution
Tools like the LifeHammer Evolution work well on tempered glass but require a swinging motion. Mount within driver's reach — a tool in the glovebox is often unreachable after a crash.
Avoid multi-tools that include flashlights, phone chargers, or other electronics. In an emergency, the mechanical reliability of a spring-loaded punch is far more important than electronic features that may fail when wet. Keep it simple. Keep it mechanical.
Whether you want to donate tools or spread the word — every action brings us closer to making this standard equipment for every driver in Arkansas.
