  • I’m not speaking from an occupants perspective. I’m only chiming to provide some added context to the articles claims of the cutters primarily only being useful for rescue personnel.

    I will say that the chances where a person crashes, and no one else is around, and the vehicle is on fire or there’s a reason the occupant should leave the seat after a severe crash, and the cutter would stay reachable, is very, very rare. Vehicles almost never catch on fire from crashes. Beyond that, unless you’re in BFE without a phone or anyone else around, it’s usually best you stay in place.



  • Firefighter EMT here. Over 15 years. Glass breaking happens pretty often and we have plenty of ways with doing that. Almost none of us carry a dedicated seatbelt cutter at the ready. If I can’t get to the buckle very easily, I still just use a knife. Also works great for cutting the side airbags out of the way, which a seatbelt cutter can’t do. For the seatbelts I’m just very careful with the knife, and for the airbags I cut reaching in and with the knife facing outwards and away from the patient. Trying to carry and use a seatbelt cutter just simply isn’t worth the limited space I have to carry things that are quickly accessible. Too much of a one trick pony.




  • Not what I’m saying. Just saying that there’s 131 million players and blaming Roblox for like 40 incidents is dumb. That’s like 0.0000012%. 700 kids a year die from being hit by cars. 900 kids a year die from drowning. 500 kids every year are murdered by their own parents.

    Saying Roblox is to blame when it’s such a comparatively small amount of everything else in the world is stupid. You can’t sterilize the planet from danger. Roblox isn’t even a blip when compared to most other things.
