I've done it using a mixture of tools I made myself, a stanley knife blade fastened at right angles to a wooden handle, mig welding wire with a wooden handle on each end. You can buy special tools for the job. You can soften the bonding with a hair drier as you do it.

As how you do it it's risky and once it's out it isn't safe, I once got one out in one piece then just touched the edge with a knife blade taking the old bonding off and a crack just moved slowly across the glass.

As a fire-fighter used to attend many RTA's (now 'Road Traffic Incidents'?), found the easiest way to remove windscreen, was to sit in passenger seat, put size twelve fire boots against screen and gently push - 'usually' it just popped out.. can't say if this would work nowadays?

No, that was the old rubber seal windscreens. These days windscreens are bonded, they are part of the structural integrity of the car.
