[–] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Top gear also did this and their results were pretty much just get out of the car as soon as you know you're going in the water. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Yes. There are three phases to going into the water. Getting out before pressure builds, waiting for pressure equalization or creating it, and getting out after pressure equalizes. There's a lot of situations where you will not have time to get the door open, like busting a turn rail and flying into the water. Obviously if you're going in slowly and can't stop it, (Like a slick boat ramp pulling a truck in.), just get out early. permalink fedilink source parent
