Matt Gutman did a excellent job demonstrating how to save yourself in a vehicle during a flood. Thank you sir.

You guys should do a video on how to escape with kids in the car.

What a terrible thing to experience! My parents live in New Jersey, but other than some flooding in the house, they are thankfully okay. Praying for everyone that is dealing with this disaster. ❤️ 🙏

I saw a segment a few years ago- Window, Buckle, Baby—> in that order.
I don’t even drive much but remember don’t get scared, get prepared.
It good to know what do do in as many situations as possible.
It helps reduce panic and can save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
Stay save out there brothers and sisters.
I fear this is only the beginning of more intense weather/ disasters. 💜✨

Now is the time to learn how to swim! Never know what you may encounter.

Before: Only a spare tire is an emergency solution.
Now: Stock up of compact LIFE VESTS inside your car.

I never understood the thought people have seeing the high water ahead and they proceed to think their vehicle is also a boat!

Women PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave your purse!! You need both hands free and you definitely do not need your purse to catch on something and take you under. Best thing to do is it's raining, etc is BEFORE you start your cat, put your driver's license, cc in a pocket, jeans, or my favorite in your bra:) Your purse is not worth dying for. Also buy an emergency escape tool, Lowe's home Depot, website, etc and keep it in secured in your console/ glove Take your coat, jacket off before you LEAVE the roof of your car and go into the water feet first!!!! Feet first does work- I speak from experience!!!! Turn Around Don't Drown!! Better to get home late, sleep in your car in a safe area etc than drown and have your family bury you.

Matt keeps himself in pretty good shape.

Great tips but sadly not everyone knows how to swim.

[kellycuckoo]

The headrest tip is the best thanks!!!!

[cbeaucrawford]

Great advice. If I'm ever in that situation I will remember it.

Main point : "Don't call for help, get yourself out of there."

It always helps to roll down your window if you can before you drive into the water if you can.

[minervaloves]

Summary: 1. Wear a life jacket underneath your clothes 2. Know how to swim.

For some people, especially those who can't swim, the most scary part is jumping into the water.t he moment they get into the water, its like the end.

[Victoria-fzoj]

This happened to me last week while I was with my parents. One of the scariest experiences of my life. Thankfully, we made it out.

"Roll down the window?" Most (not all of course) are powered windows these days so focus in on the head rest window smash. Great video!

one of the many perks of being skinny and agile.
