Abstract
An emergency device includes a housing having a lamp end and a rear distal end, with a gripping area therebetween. A mounting area is provided on the housing at the distal end, with the mounting area being generally perpendicular to a length direction of the housing. A glass breaking spike is mounted on the mounting area. In use, the flashlight is propelled towards a glass pane so that the glass breaking spike strikes the glass pane at an impact point. Since inertial energy of the flashlight and flashlight batteries is also concentrated in the glass breaking spike, inertial forces are transferred to the glass breaker and assist in propelling the glass breaker into the pane of glass.
