This keychain could save your life!

Every year there are an average of 750 accidents with cars ending up in water, in the Netherlands alone. About 60 people are killed, half of them by drowning. Several hundred are injured and this is not necessary. This number can easily be reduced by a simple key ring.

Much has been developed in the car industry in recent years and more and more vehicles are also appearing on the road. This also increases the risk of an accident. Cars get into the water every day and this can lead to death.

The well-known emergency hammer can be life-saving in this situation. Only the now 'antique' emergency hammers are obsolete. These emergency hammers cannot be used under water, because you cannot apply force in such a situation. These well-known emergency hammers are completely useless underwater.

Fortunately, there have also been many developments in the field of security and an American company has seen an opportunity to ResQme to be developed with a spring system. The ResQme is multifunctional. The key ring can be used for multiple actions and emergency situations. The ResQme can be used underwater by means of a pin that shoots against the window pane and then breaks it into thousands of pieces. Not only this is a piece of cake for the ResQme. This compact emergency hammer can also cut a seat belt in no time at all. Because the key fob can be attached to the sun visor or the car keys, you can always reach it quickly in case of an emergency.

The emergency hammer is not yet mandatory and neither is the ResQme. This is actually a shame as it is a life saver item. The question is: “How long will it be before this life-saving drug becomes mandatory?”
