Question time!

I think I will ask a quick question!  So, in my last post I talked about the extrication training that I did with the fire department, and about the situation.  Now, to all you EMS/FD people, how would you handle that situation.  We weren't able to cut the seat out because our cutters couldn't go through the hardened steel.  We couldn't just slide the patient up the T-post.  So, respond in the comments and give me your ideas!
