I'm glad everyone walked away too, Chaos. I almost had heart failure when I found out.

To his credit, my husband always has his cel and leatherman on his belt and pen and paper in his pocket. Not sure a leatherman can cut seat belts or break windows though, which may be why he was checking out my rescue tool yesterday when I drove him to work.

He's also certified in first aid and cpr, and carries a FAK and blankets in his vehicle at all times. He was pretty shook up though, and didn't make my step-daughter wait for the paramedics before she headed to work. She bonked her head and should have been cleared first. (Thankfully her boss made sure she sat for a while to make sure she felt ok before letting her work.)

He and our son stopped at a store on the way home for water and snacks, and our son apparently said "too bad you don't keep stuff in your truck like mom does."

I don't want to highjack the thread, but the point is that you just never know. This one was close to home and help arrived very quickly. In the winter... in a bad storm... out of town... and things may have been different. Help might not arrive quickly and getting home might be much more involved. Be prepared!
