I've had one for years, sitting in the driver's door compartment, because I had an accident on black ice which left me hanging in the seatbelt for nearly an hour (after I came too) and only the farmer spotting me in his brother's field (I went sideways through the conifer hedge and took the whole lot with me), got me out. I did manage to open the non-electric window and haul myself up enough to release the seatbelt eventually, but the farmer opened the boot and I crawled out that way. I sometimes have nightmares that I've gone off the road, into the river and I can't get the kids or myself out. Self defence never entered my head, but now that you mention it ... I've also just realised that I should attach it to something, otherwise it could end up out of reach if the car turned over.
Yep, theres a technical term for loose items in a rolling car....... Missiles.
I once rolled a car with scythe in the back, according to the guy who was on the rear seat the only thing going through his mind was "Oh sh*t, thats gonna take my head off if it hits"
Make sure that an escape tool can be reached from all seats.
