I can tell your uncle what happens if you go in the river. If he's not wearing a
seatbealt, he's gonna hit his head very hard on the windshield and be knocked
out cold. He'll get out when they recover the car with a winch.

If he's wearing a seatbelt, he may at least have a possibility of unbuckling it
and making an escape. It's a better chance than without the belt.

He probaly thinks he's going to open the door underwater, too!


They've done a number of shows on Discovery-type channels about
how Floridians - who are always driving into canals - should carry a
center punch to shatter windows when caught underwater.
Damn, life can get complicated.
