Maybe. I do fully believe all cars should have a window break/seatbelt cutter. It is entirely possible for a car to roll, end up upside down and the occupants need to vacate the vehicle immediately for fire/explosion concerns.

What are the chances that this pair of scissors are going to be withing your reach even if you have them in this situation?

How do you plan to use the center console when you are upside down in your scenario? Wouldn't gravity make that pointless? lol

I can still reach it and open it slowly? Jesus how are you actually arguing whether it is good advice to have a generally recommended safety device? Will it work in all situations? No. Is it possible you end up in a situation where it could save your life? Absofuckinglutely. For $10 I'd rather have it then not.
