It would be safest to remain in the carriage until help arrives. Attempting to get out through windows, now at the top of carriage, unassisted, would be the worse of two evils.

So, in an accident, if the carriage rolls on its side, how do you escape?!

Buses are equipped with "Emergency Exit" windows, but they are "opened" by using a special "hammer" to break the glass. Their specific labelling indicates the presence of a hammer close by inside, and the provision of footholes on the exterior. Rescue vehicles carry similar hammers for exterior application. Back in the early 1990s, buses here were required to have an offside exit door (common in Europe many years before) but this only lasted a couple of years. I don't think this is required on trains.
