We joke about the stupidity of Fear
Factor, but one of the show's stunts helped save a woman from
drowning during a flash flood. The veteran corrections officer was
caught in a flash flood in California and remembered a rerun of Fear
Factor where contestants had to escape a submerged car. She knew how
to roll down an automatic window instead of opening the doors. She
credits the show with saving her life. And no she wasn't wearing a
bathing suit.

So how exactly do you roll down an automatic window in the event of this happening?
