i don't think any amount of pushing on a windscreen from inside will get it out if in an emergency and the chances of you managing to get your feet up there anyway are low.
My wife once got stuck in a flash flood (only a few inches deep) in a 6 week old 206. 4x4 came other way didn't slow and caused bow wave, engine stalled as air intake was low behind the bumper and it burst into flames in seconds. Luckily she could open the door but car burnt out in minutes.
We now carry these in our moderns:

Plan of course is to never need it, or hope that if you do then you are conscious, but for a few quid...
