Jaws of Life for hybrids

In other hybrid vehicle-related news, Hurst Centaur has introduced a new Jaws Of Life rescue tool specifically designed for the unique risk of tearing apart hybrid cars. From a press release:

As sales of hybrid vehicles rise rapidly, rescue crews are increasingly exposed to accidents involving the fuel-efficient vehicles. And with up to 500 volts running through some wires in the vehicles, as opposed to 12 volts in traditional cars, there is a growing concern that rescue workers are at risk when extricating victims at an accident scene. It is this concern that prompted the engineers at Jaws of Life to develop a rescue tool designed to meet the challenges of dealing with electrically charged components.
