Anyone got a good idea about how to get a drill bit out of a jamed keyless chuck!
Made the mistake of using my cordless impact drill to drill a hole in a concrete floor.
Can not get the bit out of the chuck.

Reverse
I'd try putting the drill in hammer mode in reverse, and holding onto the chuck with a good leather glove on.
Let the chuck slip through your hand, but keep firm load on it.
That has worked twice for me.
Put a pipe wrench on the chuck and whack it with a hammer.
