I had a friend who slipped her head in between two pieces of glass at a reception window. She freaked out when she couldn’t get out. We didn’t want to pull too hard, ya know, broken glass near her throat didn’t seem safe. We ended up lifting her body till she was parallel to the floor and backed her out. It’s all about the angle. She couldn’t recreate it because she was freaking out.
