get that little mini-impact-hammer. i hear it's very popular in europe so you can get out of a car w/ a stuck door... well, at least, that's what the infomercial says.

What if the damage occured on the other side of the vehicle and not the driver's side? You see, there are many scenarios where what you said above is untrue. Also, the way that MBzs are designed (with the wedge and pin anchors), it is unlikely that a door will jam.

there are also scenarios where the person can just open the door to the car. i'd also be a little worried if the rescuer couldnt figure out a way to open a door for the person....but anyway im not trying to raise tensions it was just an idea. my brother totalled my mom's 94' E320. he had to get out through the sunroof
