I'll go first.

There was this construction crew and they were digging a hole for drainage. It was rainy so they were starting to width draw. They had a bobcat parked right by the hole. The hole was square and about 6x6, for a metal grate, it just hadn't been fitted yet, but they had some guys fitting concrete. The bobcat rolled into the hole breaking one man's legs, he was able to crawl 40 ft down a pipe to get to the another finished grate.

*Cue the theme from S.W.A.T.*

We roll up and we get a ladder, the saw, and the tripod crane with a stokes and we step up to get this guy out. We rev up the saw but some genuis did not put in a metal cutting or all purpose blade, but nooooo they put in a wood cutting blade, so we fire up the extrication saw and the blade shears and cuts the saw's fuel line and gets some shards in someone's hand. So we back off. Then we go for plan "B" some one has to squeeze into a small opening and drag the man a few feet back into the pipe and stabalize him. So the only woman (And medic) on our team volunteers. Then we get a set of spreaders and start to bend the bars , not much clearence, only about 8 inches. So then the entire team gets sledge hammers and we hit them, respread them, hit them, respread them, until our pal metal fatiuge kicks in and we just hit these things and they break loose.
