I think it'd take more time setting up to pull the car out versus just pulling the guy out.

wow what a lucky guy. and a great call for all the ems workers.

Wow, that guy is very blessed. Looked like you could not tied that guy down to the car to do a extrication.

But the scene looks unsafe with the cable holding the trailer up. Wouldn't it be a good size jolt if the vehicle was moved out from under the trailer?

Oh come on guys, just admit it - just like me, most of you would have cleared c-spine.

I'm kidding!!!!!!

Man, that guy needs to go buy a lotto ticket.
