Why I'm not using Element (or equivalent) extinguishers in my track cars - 3 Concerns
In deciding what type of extinguisher to use in my track cars, I found I had a few concerns that pushed me away from the Element / solid-state stick-style fire extinguisher (in spite of their longevity and form factor) in favor of a more traditional Amerex Halotron unit. As stated in the video, I'm sure the solid state extinguishers work fine. I have no qualms about their quality, just their "handling". Please take everything here as the opinion that is is, do your own research, and make your own decisions regarding your own safety. I'm simply expressing my own concerns and rationale. If I am ever legitimately in a vehicle that is actively on-fire, my first priority will be to exit the vehicle as fast as possible, only resorting to using an extinguisher to aid those ends or potentially help someone else.
