SF Gate: Freak fire traps man inside Audi...

[Beatty, Robert]

Chris,

Those windows are tougher than you think.  If you want to break one with
your hand, you had better have something hard and sharp, like a key or a big
class ring.  I'm a black belt in martial arts and I have been meaning to try
this at the junkyard when no one is looking :).  Another idea is to keep an
automatic centerpunch in the car.

I have heard stories about people trapped in sinking cars, etc.  I also have
this (mis)conception that, if I really needed to, I could give any one of my
windows a swift kick (or jab) and knock it out.  I mean, people break
windows to steal stuff, surely I could break a window to save my own life,
right?

Is it harded than I think to punch out one of these windows?

Maybe this could be a new exercise at the Quattro club events ;)
