What is important to remember before ripping a car apart?

• A. Try before you pry
• B. Always cut with power tools
• C. Use brute force
• D. Call the supervisor first

Answer: (A)

Safety starts with assessment. Before you use any prying or ripping action, check what’s actually possible and safe in the moment. “Try before you pry” means test, observe, and look for a path that won’t cause more harm or create new hazards. This approach helps you spot airbags that could deploy, fuel or electrical hazards, or structural instabilities, and it guides you to the gentlest, most appropriate way to gain access. It’s far safer to identify a workable entry point or a non-destructive step (like opening a door or window) than to leap straight to cutting or brute force. If uncertainty remains after you’ve assessed, you can escalate appropriately, but the immediate first move is to assess and try a safe entry first.
