Auto extrication question

Last night my fire dept had a auto extrication training and one of the guys said to cut the a post than go to opposite side and cut the a post than go back across and cut the b post then go to opposite side and cut the b post than go back and cut the c post than go to opposite and cut the c post he said that was the way they taught him in class in bloomington?? wouldnt it be easier to cut the ABC post on one side then go to opposite side and do the same???

Wow, Now that way of cutting a roof off reminds me of what my first cheif said about school. As soon as your done with class forget it we will teach you the right way. Sorry folks it's called the golden hour not the golden two hour

as long as the roof is not going to collapse in on the patient i see nothing wrong with cutting all one side (Right ABC, Then Left ABC) before going ot the other side.
