This week's bridge collapse tragedy in Minnesota inspired me to tell people about a gadget I keep all the time in my car. It's my Automobile Escape Hammer. I used to jokingly refer to it as my laser gun, but now there ARE real lasers people carry around... and this doesn't have a laser. It does have a rather weak mini-light. . . anyhow, this is the perfect stocking stuffer, cheap present, or gift for yourself. It provides years worth of peace of mind.
* Chrome-plated tip breaks the window
* Stainless steel blade cuts the seat belt strap
* Pointed metal tip punctures the air bag
* Mini-light helps you see your escape route

Snipped from J. C. Penney.com:
Cars are designed to keep you safely inside on impact, but power locks, seat belts and air bags can make it difficult to get out, especially when you're in a hurry. This potentially life-saving device helps you or other trapped passengers escape before help arrives. Uses 2 "AAA" batteries (not included).

Wow. That truly is a gadget for the paranoid.
I want one.
didn't someone from Texas send you this?
Some fun facts from PennDot:
Despite a record level of investment since 2003, Pennsylvania has the largest number of structurally deficient bridges in the nation — nearly 6,000 statewide.
With 25,000 state-owned bridges, Pennsylvania has the third largest number of bridges in the nation, but we lead the nation in the number of bridges classified as “structurally deficient.” The average age of bridges on the state system is 50 years old.
Whip out your turbo-glass-breaker-seat-belt-slicers (by Ronco) everyone!
Oh, and here's something neat for the neurotic: An interactive map that shows exactly where you'll be using your life-saving device:
