April 13, 2023
“Beijing’s heavy rain caused some people to open doors and cause death, but when they were trapped in the car and escaped, they simply pulled the headrest off the seat and tapped the side glass with the two sharp plugs. This was when the design was considered. of."
Yesterday, a “microblogging network” in which “the headrest of the car seat was designed to escape the windows to escape” was popular. However, people in the industry believe that the original design of the seat head restraint has no escape function and is not a scientific means of escape. The right way is to open the door or shake the window the first time, or put a hammer or steering wheel lock in the car to spare.
In the random interview yesterday, a Mr. Wu from Honda left a deep impression on the reporter.
He kept a safety hammer in the car and put it on the left hand side just in case. This hammer is still multi-functional, with a sharp and strong hoe that breaks through the glass. It can also be used as a flashlight to illuminate and cut a seat belt as a knife.
Mr. Wu said that in the event of an emergency, the four corners of the car window, not the middle. In fact, not only must the car glass have four corners, but buses, trains, and trains must all be four corners. It turned out that the car's window glass is generally tough, hard in the middle, and the corners are relatively brittle.
This kind of safety hammer has been sold in many 4S stores, online stores and auto beauty shops, and the general price is tens of dollars.
The reporter experienced two people pulling out 10 minutes and pulling out the evening on the 23rd. The reporter went to the scene with his friend Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu is a Volkswagen Jetta vehicle that has been in operation for six or seven years. I heard that headrests on seats can be pulled out of glass, and Xiao Hu, who has years of driving experience, is also surprised: “How could it be? I have never heard of it.”
Removed the ornament on the headrest of the chair. The reporter found that there are two steel bars with small fingers attached to the seat and headrest. Push hard and the headrest can move upwards easily, but it can be moved up to about 10cm. It will not move.
Xiao Hu also tried several times, almost 10 minutes before and after, and could not pull out.
"Noon to read the news, put the car in the water to do experiments, high-heeled shoes, escape hammer did not open the glass, the result is to use a bigger hammer to break open." Xiao Zhang said, if it is really sinking in the water, how can there be Time to pull seat headrests.
Subsequently, the reporter encountered a Wuling van parked on the roadside. The driver of the Wuling car said that his headrest is very easy to pull and it does not require any effort. In order to prove to reporters, he easily pulled up and pulled the seat headrest down. The reporter looked at the plug of the seat head restraint not sharp, but a round head.
The industry claims that the head pillow “does this”
The door should be opened for the first time or the window “Jiangning Public Security Online” should be clarified on Weibo: The design of the seat head restraint is not designed to deal with this critical situation. It is just a type of “just function”. Some sport seats or integrated backs have no head restraints at all. Therefore, this design is unlikely to be a safe escape design.
The sales manager of a car sales service center of Binbei Motor City said that under normal circumstances, whether the headrest can be pulled out or not, depending on the internal structure of different vehicles, some models can be pulled out, and some can not, so the separation of the headrest There should be no escape function in the design.
Coach Xiao Xu of a car maintenance service center at Binbei Motor City said that at a critical moment, if there is a steering wheel lock in the car, it can be used to escape from the car window.
The director of the bus group's party office, Huang, said that when the car sinks in the water, it is an “excessive move” to pull the seat headrest. The most important thing is to quickly open the door or roll down the window the first time.
