Disentanglement refers to what process in vehicle rescue operations?

Disentanglement in vehicle rescue operations specifically pertains to the process of removing a vehicle that is pinning or crushing the trapped victim. This operation is crucial because the immediate priority is to free the individual who is entrapped within the vehicle to prevent further injury or fatality. The process may involve careful manipulation and stabilization of the vehicle to ensure safety while freeing the victim.

While the analysis of vehicle structure, removal of a trapped victim, and establishing traffic control are all important components of overall rescue operations, they do not accurately define the term "disentanglement." The focus of disentanglement is not solely on the victim's removal but on the vehicle's positioning in relation to the victim and the methods used to safely extricate the victim from that situation.
