My old sergeant-major cut his way out of a Bell H-13 with his Randall 15 when he was a young SSG. His lieutenant crashlanded in a creek and the Bell rolled. SSG Weber cut their seat belts, then cut through the bubble. They were rescued, and when they landed at Bien Hoa the LT started walking back towards the flight line to get another helicopter. "LT, you're wounded and I can't turn my head." The LT was hit three times and SSG Weber had a broken neck. That was the third H-13 they'd wrecked that day.
At least that's what I heard.
