The "Angry Wife Self Rescue"? No, that one can't be done solo. It would have to be an assisted rescue, but be aware that the rescuer is probably in as much danger as the rescuee in those situations. Also, don't forget that it's also quite different from the all-in rescues that have been discussed recently, as this would be an all-out rescue. As in "everyone else gets the hell out of the way in order to save themselves". Interesting thread. I'm sure others may have some insight as well.
