Every year, tens of thousands of cars crash into the water. Weather circumstances, missing crash barriers along bodies of water, or just simple car accidents, cause numerous drownings per year. 99% of cars sink nose down. This way, the back seat and the trunk are the last places air will remain in a sinking car. 70% of the car passengers, who end up with their car in the water, can escape on their own.

With a standard life hammer, most car passengers (especially children) are unable to escape the car on their own. Breaking a car window underwater requires a lot of strength, because of the water resistance. When the car starts to fill with water and the car passengers start to panic, most passengers use the life hammer incorrectly.

Moreover, because of the strength it requires, children (and other passengers) depend on the driver or other adult passengers. In the worst case, these passengers are heavily wounded or unconscious. This way other passengers, like children, are not able to escape the car on their own
The Maxxsafe® is designed to offer all passengers (especially children) a chance to escape a car above and underwater. De Maxxsafe® is installed on the rear window. The Maxxsafe® has a red warning light. This warning light starts to blink, when it comes in contact with water. This way you can always find the Maxxsafe, even when it is completely dark.

While the car is sinking and the passengers flights to the rear window, they will always go towards the Maxxsafe®. This increases the chance for all passengers to escape the sinking car on their own.

To break a car window, you simply turn the Maxxsafe®. This shoots a pin against the window and the window breaks. When necessary, a Maxxsafe can be used multiple times in the very unlikely event that the first attempt to break the window fails. When the window is broken, all passengers can escape the car on their own.
