Désincarcération : Manœuvre consistant à extraire une personne bloquée à l'intérieur d’un véhicule accidenté. La désincarcération est nécessaire lorsque l'on ne peut pas sortir facilement le blessé du fait de la déformation de l'habitacle, du blocage des portières ou de la position particulière du véhicule(coincé sous un camion, par exemple). Cette manœuvre réclame souvent un matériel spécialisé : scies à métaux, postes de soudure autogène pour découpage des tôles, vérins, écrans protecteurs, etc. 2, record 1, French, - mat%C3%A9riel%20de%20d%C3%A9sincarc%C3%A9ration
