    It is my understanding that most EMT's and Fire Rescue units have
    the equipment in their vechicles it is a simple manual ring saw and
    they make two cuts so that the ring comes off without the need of
    fancy pliers. They don't care about salvaging the ring just the
    finger. And any hospital ER will have the saw.

    Any ring when crushed will cause these problems so are you
    suggesting that jewelers not sell rings?
