The ruling on cutting the signal in a state of dire necessity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on cutting the signal with caution in a state of dire necessity, such as catching up to a lecture or a hospital?

Answer:
It is not permissible to cut the signal because it is dangerous, and we are forbidden from committing danger or exposing oneself and others to danger
and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:195]
So this is not permissible. If you fear missing the prayer, you cut the signal for that sake, so how about attending the maintenance?
