Design for extreme situations

Here's a nice example of useful, usable information design, found in the trunk of our rental car in Detroit (a Ford, naturally -- do they rent Japanese cars in Detroit?)
It is, of course, made of glow in the dark material, so that when you need it, you can see it. Unless you're blindfolded. But does that really happen outside of the movies?

When I was in college, some friends and I were walking through an alley past some cars parked near the entrance to The Bar. We heard some thumping.
Yes, there was someone in a trunk. His friends had forgotten him. Or perhaps "forgotten" might be more appropriate.
Okay, so he wasn't blindfolded, but still.
