We do that at work when the squads bring patients into the trauma room.  Trauma Shears, wonderful tool.  Cuts through all manner of leather coat.  Don't recommend it on down filled coats...the feathers go everywhere.

;D

My first week working in trauma, we had a kid with a GSW that had a down filled coat. No one told me.

You woulda thought I had killed a dozen chickens in that room when I was done.

Lesson learned.
