A device for breaking safety glass, the device comprising:
- a card-shaped support plate having a first opposed side, a second opposed side, a bottom end, and a top end having a thickness capable of being placed between a safety glass and a window structure, said card-shaped support plate having the ability to bend and return to its previous state and having a recess sufficient to receive a glass breaking component,
- the glass breaking component connected to the support plate, the glass breaking component comprising:
- a base having first and second opposed sides, and
- a member having first and second opposed ends, the first end of the member connected to and extending from at least one side of the base and the second end of the member comprising a glass breaking portion facing away from the base,
- the glass breaking portion having at least one glass cutting edge and configured to break safety glass by placing the top end of the support plate between the safety glass and a window structure, pulling the support plate away from the glass, and releasing the support plate, thereby causing the glass breaking component to strike the safety glass.
