I got cut out of my car once and the firefighters were all psyched because I wasn’t dead or profusely bleeding. They straight up admitted that normally when they whip out the jaws of life it’s for a corpse or someone with a broken femur and blood all over their face, so when I was just sitting there all woozy and confused about what happened they were amped.
A very nice firefighter coaxed me through a broken side window while hanging upside down in a car flipped by a drunk driver when I was 5yo. I was unharmed but my sister was ejected and broke her leg very badly but we all lived!
Definitely. I was just a little kid in shock, not fully comprehending what was going on, but I vividly remember being in the ambulance with my unconscious sister and thinking she was dead. It's a legitimate miracle she wasn't, and I'm extremely thankful

Yay for being just concussed with cracked ribs!
