- which are often tempered, in the event of a crash which prevents exit through the doors.
- They are commonly found on public transport, in particular trains and buses and buildings.
- There can also be a cutting tool at the other end of the hammer. This is used for cutting through seatbelts in the
- event that they are inhibiting a passenger's exit.
- Emergency hammers can be purchased by consumers in store for their vehicles, homes, hotels etc. to provide a means
- of escape should the doors/windows become unusable, such as in a collision, if the vehicle falls into water and is sinking
- or there is a fire within a building. However, people have been known to use these hammers to enter a car from the outside for purposes of burglary.
