This hit close to home as I grew up with one of the victims of the reservoir accident. I would like to thank all those who stopped to helped at much risk to their own lives.

Having traveled the reservoir road often I sit here wondering what I would/could do in a similar situation.

I carry a rescue knife attached to my seatbelt but having crossed ice cold rivers in winter and know how quickly your motor skills become impaired and I am thinking that my knife would be too hard to manipulate with cold hands.

What rescue tool options are available that might be used with impaired dexterity?
