Tungsten rings can almost always be removed in a emergency situation. Almost all hospitals and emergency responders carry special tools to remove rings. Tungsten rings are no different to remove than other rings such as solid gold rings.  Tungsten rings can also be safely broken off with a pair of pliers when enough pressured is applied. Many experts say tungsten rings are safer to wear because they will break or shatter when they come under great amounts of pressure versus a solid gold ring that will bend around the finger and potentially cause more damage.
