    IDK, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. You've just been in an accident, might be disoriented, dazed, in a hurry, I'm not sure something that sharp is a good idea to use to cut a seatbelt off that's wrapped around your body. A really good pair of scissors might work better.

    A real seatbelt cutter. Scissors suck sometimes even just on paper ... varying pressures of the cutting edges. This cutter from Benchmade shows the enclosed crescent with sharp blade that lets you quickly pull and cut. The Benchmade Triage series of knives are expensive ($250) but have the enclosed crescent. No time to play with scissors if the car is on fire.

    EDIT: In this specific case, getting the MF out of the truck FAST would be my priority as well.

    Give yourself a day or two for the "mask effect" to clear. I think I would have a flashback myself after I thought it was was settled.

    Damn!

    The Tacoma had one job and it did it quite well. Glad you're okay. Things can be replaced, people can't.

    Once again the taco protected the passengers, glad to see that you’re okay. Sucks that you now have to go looking for a replacement. Can I have your headlights? Asking for a friend.:D

    glad you're ok

    a perfect example of why EVERYONE NEEDS TO SECURE THEIR SHIT.

    we can control our own actions all we want, but all it takes is one other person defying reality to alter the math a dozen different ways.
