That's a discussion on how difficult it is to break a car window.

I can't believe how mean spirited some of you are over a child dying.

I've been intending to buy one of those window breakers. Thanks for the prompt.

Inside a static car with no danger of fire or flooding, its really not that hard. Especially using your legs like you easily could in that situation. Ive broken multiple car windows with my feet/legs AND my bare hands before..
People forget how cruel darwinism can be.

I've read those little window breaking tools are damned near useless. Better maybe to carry around a 4lb. beater?

A bored kid on a small farm with multiple caged beaters to jump and otherwise hooliganize around in.. parents made us cage them after they saw us building our motocross jumps bigger to accommodate our new "toys".

Caution: Hysterical and pathological fixation on safety can be harmful to your health.

Why is it necessary to buy machines to defeat safety features in order to save your life from the jaws of the very safety feature?

Better to get an automatic center punch, light, easy to store, and very effective on tempered side windows.

How does this prevent theft?

Don't people take responsibility for their own actions anymore? What fool would place a person in a car in warm/hot weather?
