Airplanes Boats Cars
Why aren't cars being equipped with emergency floatation devices?
With more people drowning from driving in their cars than riding in a boat I wonder why the automobile industry hasn't thought to install some sort of floatation device to either float the car or at least for each occupant-i.e. the seats on airplanes.
btw, I my question was brought on by my concern over all the people drowning in the Texas floods and flash floods all over. Not thinking about my personal safety as I feel I am pretty wise about what areas to avoid when driving.
That is an interesting thing that perhaps the auto makers haven't thought about. I hope they don't make it mandatory...I can't afford vehicles as they are. I'm from Idaho the state that had that child decapitated as an infant because the mom put them in the front seat and the air bag deployed. This is what created the laws that you can't have a child in the front seat. Ya...but back then they didn't know.
But then cars do float for a while and you can only get out of them once they are full of water to escape and open the doors perhaps more people would die because they were partially submersed and couldn't open the doors.
