"My Car Sank into the Thames: Without This Tool, I Wouldn't Be Here Today"
Why I now tell every driver to keep this one tool within reach and why 4 are better than one.
Written by Thomas Richards | Published 06.03.2025
It was the 14th of November 2024. 3:47 pm. I was driving along the A206 towards Greenwich when a delivery van clipped me on the rain-soaked road.
I lost control.
The next thing I remember: my car smashing through the barrier. Then darkness. Then water.
My car sank into the Thames. And I was inside it.
The Longest 90 Seconds of My Life
The water came faster than I could think.
First my feet. Then my knees. I pressed the window switch… nothing. The electrics were dead instantly.
I pulled at the seatbelt. The buckle was jammed. Something had warped on impact.
The water was up to my chest.
I thought: This is it.
I thought about my wife. My daughter. The football match I'd promised to take her to.
And then, I still don't know why, I reached for the glove box.
The Reach That Saved My Life
Three weeks earlier, my wife had put an emergency tool in the car. "Just in case," she'd said. I'd forgotten all about it.
SafePro X.
I ripped the cap off, fed the seatbelt into the opening, pulled once and I was free.
The water was at my chin.
I turned to the window, pressed the steel tip against the glass, one click, and the glass burst outwards.
I was out. I was alive.
A firefighter told me later: "90 seconds. That's how long it takes for a car to be fully submerged. You did it in 12."
"That Would Never Happen to Me", That's What I Thought Too
I'm 47 now. I'd been driving accident-free for 29 years. I never had an emergency hammer in my car.
Why would I?
Only happens to other people.
Until it happened to me.
And now? Now I know:
❌ Electric windows fail the instant they touch water
❌ Doors can't be opened against water pressure
❌ Seatbelt buckles jam on impact far more often than you'd think
❌ Standard emergency hammers need force and the right angle — you have neither when you're panicking
I was lucky. But luck isn't a plan.
What Makes This Tool Different
After the accident, I researched the subject thoroughly.
SafePro X isn't just another emergency hammer.
It's the tool that professionals recommend:
🔧 Seatbelt cutter with concealed blade:
Feed in, pull, free. Works upside down, works with shaking hands. No risk of injury.
💥 Glass breaker with spring mechanism:
No swing needed. Just press. The hardened steel tip does the rest, even on wet glass.
✅ BSI-tested, AA-recommended:
Certified to rigorous safety standards. Already used by driving schools.
⏱️ 3 seconds: That's the average time it takes to free yourself with this tool. With a standard emergency hammer? Over 8 seconds, if it works at all.
Why I Bought 4 And Why You Should Too
After my rescue, I bought four SafePro X units.
Why?
Because I'm not always the driver. Because my wife drives too. Because my daughter sits in the back.
In an emergency, not everyone can reach the glove box.
That's why we now have one on every door, attached with the included mount:
📍 In the driver's door
📍 In the passenger door
📍 In the rear left door
📍 In the rear right door
Every seat. Every door. Everyone can free themselves.
That's not paranoia. That's preparation.
The Test Glass That Removed My Last Doubt
What convinced me the most: every SafePro X comes with a real test glass made from automotive safety glass.
I tried it in the garden.
One press and the glass shattered into small, blunt cubes.
Exactly the same way it worked in the car.
That moment showed me: this isn't marketing. This thing works.
My wife tested it too. My daughter as well.
Everyone in the family now knows what it feels like and how to use it.
The Offer That Convinced Me
Normally, a single SafePro X costs £31.00. Four would be £122.00.
Right now, the 4-pack is just £62.00.
That's a 51% discount. Less than £16 per lifesaver.

My Conclusion: Be Prepared for the Worst
I'm not a hero. I'm a perfectly ordinary bloke who got lucky and who has a wife who thought ahead.
Today, I think about how close it was every single day. And I'm grateful that I get to tell this story.
If you own a car, you need this tool. Not maybe. Not someday. Now.
It's not about being afraid. It's about being prepared.
For you. For your family.
For the moment you hope never comes.
But if it does, you'll be ready.
