I've been asking myself a question and I'd like to submit it to you by the form of a scenario... with some twists.
I assume that you EDC some form of blade (folder, fixed, multitool) on you. Here it is:
You are driving your car alone, your safety belt is attached and you EDC some form of blade (folder, fixed, multitool) on yourself.
Bang! you are in an accident. For now you are not hurt but you can't detach your safety belt, the mechanism is blocked and nobody can help you. You say to yourself: "No problemo, I've got a blade on me".
That was the senario. Now here is the question: how do you get that blade out?
Now comes the twists:
- Same scenario, but your legs are broken.
- Same scenario, but your arm (the one on the same side as your blade) is broken.
- Same scenario, but your it's winter and you are wearing a winter coat.
- Same scenario, but the car is upside down.
Just for the fun of it, get into your car attach your safety belt and try to get that folder out of your pocket pants or you belt pouch. The way I see it you need a fair amount of wiggling to access it and take it out.
Should it be worn somewhere else when in the car?
