Hypothetically speaking. If you had three kids in car seats and your car plunged off an elevated road into the water, would it be possible to get all kids out in time. I feel I need a plan for this. I have the window breaker and seatbelt cutter. Could my wife (or any woman) handle this as well?

Maybe I need some spare air ?

If you’re gonna plan, remember that the front of the car is the heaviest and will sink first. You’ll need to get to the back and exit out of the rear.

Only advice I can give you is to pray now because if God forbid that ever happens to you, you won’t have time to.

How high is the bridge you’re driving off?

You should probably pick out which one you love the most now to avoid having to make that decision in the heat of the moment.

This is the first “faking a death” thread I’ve seen. This seems weird and way too open.

Buckle up, keep your hands inside and enjoy the ride.

Buy dolls and strap them into the car seats. Practice timing yourself undoing them until you can do all 3 in 30 seconds

I’ve thought about it. My plan was just get them unbuckled and just wing it after that.

If you're such a planner you should have planned to not have 3 kids in car seats at once. Wrap it up dude.

They probably can't swim so I'm sure they won't care if they drown in their car seats or in the dark waters below.

You know the win-win-win-win would be if the three kids are the sole survivors.

See if you can work on practicing for that scenario.

Here's the problem. Assuming you don't panic, roll the windows down, unbuckle everyone and get them out, you're still in the water. No flotation devices. Try treading with a 20lb brick sometime. Plus your clothes and shoes will weigh you down.

If this happens, say an our father and do your best to drown before they do.

That’s dark. Even by OT standards.
