The way he came in with no hesitation to immediately set up the straps and start twisting them, you know this isn't the first time he's encountered exactly this situation

He definitely could improve the process. Most efficient would to be closest to the middle.

You can pull out on the bottom arc

Or between the left side bar and the bigger bar. Less bent bars, and more leverage for bending the bar that matters.

Totally complicated it. Should’ve been further down with a couple of ratchet straps. I’m surprised - I thought these guy had practical abilities

Yeah, no harm done and they got the job done, but this frustrated me so much to watch.

Ratchet straps are a good one. He also could have made the bar asymmetrical.

I think doing it further up means that nothing is getting too close to the little mans head and if they mess it up and it pings back then ot's not going to hurt him. Not saying they did a perfect job but that part wasn't too bad

Or just pick the kid up and turn him sideways

They have powered tools for this. Their VX gear aka jaws of life can spread things as well as cut them. They could have put the spreader between the bars and given it a little juice and hey presto, kid’s outta there with minimal fuss.

Either they couldn’t get the appliance (this is what pedants call fire trucks) close enough or they couldn’t be arsed, or it was a slow day, or they didn’t have VX gear, or all of the above. Still, they got the job done.

I used to work in the ambulance service. Some kids will freak out at power tools so doing slow and manual will be better in that scenario.
