It is relatively easy to end up with your vehicle in the water, and escaping the vehicle ist he difference between life and death. I would encourage all of you to buy a tool and discuss its use with your family (tap a window and NOT the windshield) and I hope nobody ever needs to use this knowledge.

That tool like anything else loose in a vehicle will fly in a wreck. Should be affixed with a hook / loop Velcro to something like a door grab or other that hopefully won't bust off. Regardless, its a crap shoot and so much goes wrong.
Regarding the OP, very sorry situation.
