use the metal ends of the headrest. rest the metal bar in a corner of the glass and hit the top of the headrest to shatter it instantly.

@charlieanslow3743 11 ай бұрын

If the car is not full of water, the water pressure on the outside will try to push the window inwards. However, I'd you try to hit it, tour trying to push the window outwards and will probably slow down the time to break the window. If the car is full of water too, there will be equal pressure pushing the window inwards and outwards, so will have no effect on the window apart from squeezing

As others said, use the corner of the window. Additionally, the curvature of the glass gives it it’s strength, and when he applied force with both points of the headrest, it distributed the force. Apply force in the smallest possible area by using only one of the metal points.

The problem with that idea is both spikes are equally lengthed and spaced. And from a sitting position like how you'd normally be, getting the end to a window corner is not viable. What could help is instead sharpening the spikes to a razor tip and/or cutting one an inch shorter.
