I wonder if there are any statistics available differentiating Extrication and Disentanglement. It seems that so many runs, all over the country, come in as a "Pin" when in fact it is nothing more than a "door job", i.e pop the door due to it's being jammed due to the collision. On the other hand,  when there is a victim who is actually trapped by a dashboard, console, door or whatever that needs to be "disentangled" from the vehicle. I just wondered what the ratio of the two are. In my experience, it was more door jobs but we did have some gruesome disentanglements.
