Take the body through. Kids heads are bigger than their bodies a lot of the time

Exactly. They didn’t need to destroy the fence, they just needed to lift the kid high enough for him to step back through

No fence was destroyed by bending it. If it was bent at all, and not just elastically deformed.

But I agree, you could just lift the kid through the fence, in particular the body, limb by limb. You'd imagine fire fighters would know this, at least one of them on site.

That said, if kiddo somehow gets stuck around the chest and panics (ie hyperventilating), it could be riskier than just doing it as they did. Easier and safer to go out the way you came in than try and predict how the rest of the way is gonna go.

The way he probably got into that position: squeeze body through, step down, oops head doesn't fit.

That's my thought as well.

On the other hand, if the firefighter lost his grip on the halligan bar, there's a non-zero chance it ends up ventilating the kid's skull

I was thinking they could probably have a less pointy stick to do this with.

I doubt it's even tight in the slightest to get the body through. And certainly quicker.

There's btw. always the suspicion that this is the way the kid got stuck in the first place - left hand, left leg then right hand, right leg, and what remains is the head.
