TX Mile Fire and Al F. Impersonation

[Fbody383]

I have my system pinned, but have a lanyard on the pin that's easy to pull.

Same here, with a piece of rookie orange tape on it.

I am always paranoid working in the car about the fire system and i'll pin it at the bottle; that's the one that if you forget to clear you're screwed.

I haven't installed mine yet, but I was going to just print and laminate a "pre-flight" check list and hang it off my dash. There was a guy that burned to death in a 944 not too long ago when they couldn't get him out and the fire system was still pinned at the bottle.

When giving instructions on how to pin your bottle for you....BE VERY SPECIFIC about where the pin goes or the fact the handle must be pulled OUT to put the pin in at the bottle, and NOT aligning the holes to put the pin through. This fact let me learn exactly how to have a bottle re-filled earlier this year! LOL!

Also why I have a seat belt cutter taped to the switch panel with the same orange tape. I put it there after watching the video of Jim Pantas trying to pull a guy out of a car after he couldn't get his belts unbuckled.

Eddie,
What exactly is your seatbelt cutter made from? I'm interested in duplicating it.

The problem with that guy was that his sub belt was turned backwards and pressed against his body. He couldn't rotate the thingy in order to release the belts. I'm very particular now when I strap KC into the car to make damn sure that thing is facing outwards. But a belt cutter is a GREAT idea to have within reach in the car! Eddie- you win a prize! :-)

I remember reading that also. It was a latch and he turned it around so it wouldn't come unlatched. It worked...

I have a cam-lock and have no reason to turn mine around, but that doesn't mean it can't fail in some other way. How or why, I have no earthly idea, but one thing for sure is that I won't be trapped in it if it does.

What's my prize?

I'd ask for one "get out of jail free" card.... surely the group RD can grant one of those, right?
