basis, thus to enhance the knowledge of

ranging from the simple pulling out of a patient from the wreckage, up to the
most complicated scenarios which involve the use of hydraulic cutters and
spreaders. The practice is aimed on how responders can extricate or remove a
trapped person in a wrecked vehicle. It is not merely a simple act, but it
requires deep knowledgeof force dynamics, vehicle design, impact prediction and
