Can You REALLY Kick Out a Car Windshield?


this video is sponsored by dashlane in
today’s video we are going to be trying
some methods of breaking out of a car in
an emergency situation and then maybe
just have some fun with it
guys we are here at the junkyard and
they gave us a car it’s a not really
brand new car I think at this point it’s
just like for scrap what it has all the
windows attached and that is exactly
what we need we’re gonna be testing out
a few common myths and ideas about how
you can remove Windows if you were to
like get the crash and then like all the
doors don’t open you got to get out of
the car somehow we got to find out what
the best way is we’re gonna try so many
different things but the first thing
we’ve got to get in the car and we’re
gonna have a few basic tools with us
some things that you would normally have
in a car and then a few things that you
just might not and something you might
have if you were prepared for an
emergency situation and some just for
fun we are gonna be breaking glass at
least hopefully and we don’t want broken
glass to be cutting us up so we need
some levels of protection so we’re both
gonna have long sleeves she doesn’t have
it on yet but she will we’re gonna be
wearing thick leather gloves and we’re
both going to be wearing helmets glasses
for the open face helmet just everything
we can do to keep from getting cut in
case some of the glass does follow us
you can actually see right here it got
on the ground this is kind of what car
windows usually break into so it pebbles
up so it’s actually not as terribly
dangerous the type of tempering that
they do on car windows is it’s different
than some glass that you may have seen
before but that doesn’t mean we don’t
want to be safe here’s the basic idea
we’ve got a broken down car and you’re
gonna see how we can get out through the
windows from inside the car
seems a little extreme why not it’s
[Music]
we call ourselves terrible Daft Punk
it’s because we’re terrible at being
Daft Punk
so the first plan is if you’re stuck in
a car and you can’t open the windows
you can’t technically kick out the
windshield we want to see how hard that
is to do window number one the big one
now windshields aren’t made of the same
kind of glass as the side windows the
side ones are designed to break into
those little square pebbles that I was
showing you the windshield is a
triple-layer it’s got glass on the
outside glass on the inside and then in
between those is like a sticky soft
plastic that holds everything together
and that’s so if you get an accident it
doesn’t rain glass down on top of you so
it’s a little thicker and more durable
but we’re gonna see if we can kick
through it this windshield already has a
crack running through it we’re hoping
that has weakened it just a little bit
but not completely destroyed it all
right now Kali has also reclined her
chair all the way and we’re gonna assume
that after the accident the reclining
feature still works alright I’m going to
try so the steering’s gonna cause
massive problems obviously for the
driver but that’s probably the person
who’s going to be doing this oh okay
nice alright hang on I can do this I can
totally do this you got this I’m gonna
try more force with just one foot that’s
because I can’t here’s the main problem
the steering wheels kind of getting your
way huh it is and I’m hitting it with my
toes if I could get my heel onto it it
wouldn’t be a problem I’m gonna try
turning sideways alright that’s try oh
good hit at this point this is just like
[Music]
this looks like fun
something to note any glass is strongest
in the middle always go towards an edge
or a corner bottom edge is best but I
couldn’t reach that all right you can
break it keep going we are covered in
glasses you know yep okay I wouldn’t
normally recommend this but I uncovered
had to tell break off I can’t get my
helmet through that oh don’t don’t go
out yet I can do it it’s gonna get your
neck no I’m stuck
whoa that’s tough can you kick out a car
windshield in an emergency situation if
you can recline your seat the answer is
yes I’m sure it’s possible even if you
can’t recline your seat
it’d just be a lot harder yeah that took
an immense amount of pressure it is
possible
like we said people you saw how much
time and effort that took we’re already
out of breath so it’s probably not the
best method if it was your only option
you can do it but if you’re woozy if
you’ve had a head injury
or if you’re just shaken up from being
in a wreck you might want to have an
easier option if there is one by now all
right next thing we’re gonna test is see
if we can get through this driver’s side
window I’ve never tried this before but
here’s the idea we’re gonna see if we
can use the buckle on our seat belt as
an impact tool that can break through
that glass so I’m gonna try and just
pull the seat belt out as much as I can
I’m gonna hold this with gloves on and
I’m gonna see if I can just smash
through the window using the metal
buckle I don’t know how this is gonna
work in theory it’s easier to break
these windows near the edge of the
window so I’m I’m gonna try and aim for
sort of out the edge just you know
trying not to hit the frame here but
I’ll just aim for up there at the edge
of the window see if I’m able to get it
I’m in it now you got to crawl out knock
it out of the frame don’t put your
whoo you did it that’s cool and it’s not
what I expected holding that buckle I
didn’t feel like I was able to hit it
very hard didn’t have a lot of force
we’re just pulling the seat belt out all
the way and swinging it kind of like a
flail or something it caught at the
right spot the right angle the right
speed I guess whatever it was that it
needed that works so just taking the
buckle and swinging at the window
probably saw it took me multiple tries
didn’t go right at first but it broke I
worked pretty well actually that was way
easier than kicking out the windshield
so while we are finding ways to break
out of a car we definitely don’t want
people breaking into our online accounts
I don’t know about you but I get super
nervous about my online security so my
passwords are very very complicated but
it’s really hard for me to remember all
of them so I use – lame – lame is
amazing because I can have all of my
passwords saved secured in one place and
not rely I really like to online shop
and things like that I don’t have to
worry about passwords or anything it’s
all safe in one place not only on my
computer but on my phone it’s connected
throughout all my devices – Lane creates
a new password every time you use one
it’s not rehashing the same password for
everything you used it’s creating this
collection of like letters and numbers
and special symbols as well so it’s just
a combination of pretty much everything
you got on the keyboard
it’s about as secure as a password can
possibly get there’s long and frankly
the things you’ve never be able to
remember but that’s the whole point is
you don’t have to the program remembers
it for you so this protects you from
hacking basically I mean if there’s any
sort of corporate breach or phishing
scams or a personal data breach this has
you covered that’s if that happens
you’re gonna be safe and you get alerted
right away if there is a breach which is
good thing to know because if you’ve
used a password somewhere and you learn
that it got breached you’d be like oh
now they have that password and if
you’ve used that password anywhere else
you want to know about it and actually
it actually tells you that as well so
it’s really gonna keep
you safe even if someone’s not trying to
use your information specifically or get
into your a phishing scam yeah it’s
gonna let you know regardless of how
people are getting the information and
keep you protected guys you can try out

break out of a car so hoping I’m as good
at this is neatest he used the seatbelt
buckle I’m gonna try it with the
screwdriver now maybe not everybody
carries a screwdriver in their car
I do just in case but I’ve heard that if
you take one of these you put it into
the rubber and you torque it you should
be able to spiderweb and crack the glass
and then maybe be able to punch it out
so that’s my goal
[Music]
I don’t about braking but you’re
well it exploded so in that case I think
the flexibility of the glass was
actually like a downside to be able to
push against it you had to find a spot
that didn’t move but once you got to
that spot yeah that was surprisingly
flexible tips for survival situation if
you are in the car yes you can pop out
the corners but you’ve got to find the
place my best bet here was finding a
place where it wasn’t gonna give it was
too rigid it was it had too much holding
it in place and because of that because
there’s no flexibility the whole thing
shattered next thing we’re gonna try
this is a punch it’s usually used for
making a mark on a piece of metal when
you’re trying to drill a hole when you
compress this down it compresses a
spring and when it goes far enough it
hits back really hard and so this is
like a hardened metal tip and we’re
gonna see I’ve heard that you can just
carry these in the glove compartment and
then you can just press this against the
glass push until it goes and it should
pop the window we’ll see if it works
that was super easy
[Music]
now I’m gonna do this one that thing
works really well you better prove it
try one work that’s really easy to get
through the glass with that mark you
[Music]
it’s so good okay guys now we’re just
thanks again to dashlane for sponsoring
today’s video car security is one thing
computer security is another guys that’s
not all we’ve always got more for you to
see this box up here at the top will
take you to our latest video and that
box through the bottom is what YouTube
thinks you should be watching next hit
