A safety ventilation device for vehicles or other applications has a housing with one or more openings covered by a hinged flap with the flaps interconnected by a connecting element. A spring is attached to the connecting element or otherwise to the flaps such that in a first position the spring keeps the flaps open and air can pass through the openings. In a second position, upon the application of force to the flaps, such as airflow caused by a moving vehicle, the spring compresses, and the flaps close. The housing of the device includes a protrusion at the top and a channel at the bottom to facilitate an interference fit between a window and a window or door frame.
