I've been told that on some models it's possible to safely remove jammed
film from an APS camera by disassembling it in a light tight box with an
IR viewer.  Of course only somebody who frequently works on that model
would know, and have the necessary equipment to do so (if it's
possible).  Check with Kodak....
