I was at a car wash and I over heard an employe talking about my car a search and rescue operation and someone drowning. I asked for the details and the response was shocking. Apparently some guy got his SVX under water somehow, must have been through ice. But either way he died dispite the fact that someone had gotton there in time to save him, they could not break the windows and the the guy died.
He said that they had to break both windows on the dirver side to get the guy out and they tried 6 times but the guy died cause they could not break the glass. Apparently our cars are a bit too tough in some ways for our own good. The divided windows really reinforces the strength. Much harder to break 2 small peices of glass then one big one.
I raced people on lakes last year but after hearing that I'm a bit more worried now. I always waited for the trucks to go out on the lakes before I ever dared to. But I think I'll quit it all together.
