Which action completes the Roof Lift Off Procedure?

• A. Cut windshield
• B. Lift roof off
• C. Cut on A post
• D. Relieve cut on B post

Answer: (B)

The Roof Lift Off procedure centers on freeing the roof so it can be removed to give clear, safe access to the patient. After gaining access by removing the glass and establishing hinge lines along the supporting posts, the roof should be moved away from the vehicle structure. The action that completes the procedure is lifting the roof off, which physically separates it from the shell and provides the space needed for patient access and extrication. The other steps—removing the windshield, cutting the posts to form hinges, and relieving any cuts to prevent binding—are preparation steps that make the final lift possible, but the actual removal is achieved by lifting the roof away.
