I know most of you guys have heard this but when I wrecked at Norwalk and slid a 1/2 mile on my roof I had my hand on my Halon system. I couldn’t get out of the car so if I caught fire I was pulling the Halon. I’d rather suffocate than burn to death. Luckily neither happened.
It takes approx 4 minutes for one to expire from lack of O2, fire can cause fatal injuries in mere seconds, and then takes hours to put your lights out for good.
The choice seems rather obvious to me.
I like Halon for its easy clean up and lack visual obstruction. Special K is best around fire agent for non EV cars but it pretty much ruins whatever you are trying to save, besides yourself.
I try to have access to both, so I can proportion my response.
