oh it is hot in here luckily I was able to get out thanks to
this handy little glow-in-the-dark release lever all I had to do was push
it and Open Sesame lucky hardly this little emergency
mechanism it's been a mandatory standard safety feature on all new cars the past
15 years why you ask I mean what does this even come up for anyone not turning
state's evidence against the Mafia in a movie the truth is actually pretty grim
many as 20 people die each year while trapped in a trunk where temperatures
can rapidly rise to deadly levels some are kidnapping victims and others who
are children who get locked in while playing in the car older cars those
manufactured prior to the 2002 regulations are the culprits in most
trunk debts nowadays while no children have died in a properly equipped car
since the mandate took effect nearly two dozen have lost their lives in older
cars safety advocates recommend these measures of preventing trunk trapping
tragedies consider buying a trunk lever retrofit kit if you can pick up for as
little as ten bucks teach children that car trunks are for cargo not
hide-and-seek always supervise youngsters in and
around vehicles check the trunk right away if your child goes missing lock
your car up and be sure keys and remote entry devices are out of kids sight and
out of reach keep the rear fold down seats closed and locked
dissuade children from climbing into the trunk from inside the car keep this
advice and ensure your car is equipped with an emergency escape lever you'll be
ready to give truck trouble the boot
