Strict Hogtie Restraint Bondage System

Product Information

Police say that at times, officers must restrain individuals who can’t be secured any other way and who would otherwise pose a danger to themselves and those around them. Experts say this non-prone position allows police to transport people without the risks of hogtying them.

That’s how my brother died,” said Kimberly Smith, his younger sister, who watched the video later. “He died like an animal.” Subjects were in the prone position with added weight forces of 5, 15, and 25kg to the lower torso. We’v also rounded up a few more cute and comfortable sets of sex cuffs great for beginners and experienced players. I’m a little freaked out by the idea of restraints. How can I make sure my partner and I both stay safe? Obesity has also been a variable of concern. While previous studies had shown no cardiac or ventilatory changes in healthy subjects in the PMRP, Sloane et al. postulated that perhaps increased abdominal mass could lead to a restrictive lung pattern in the restraint position. 28 The study examined 10 adult subjects with a BMI greater than 30. Ve, end-tidal CO2, and oxygen saturation were measured in subjects in the PMRP while they recovered after reaching 85% of maximum heart rate on an exercise bike. The study found no significant changes in Ve, oxygen saturation, or end-tidal CO2 between the three positions and thus no clinically significant differences. There were some minor changes in heart rate and end-tidal CO2 at the 15-min mark, but these were not statistically significant. The authors admitted that despite subjects all being over a BMI of 30, abdominal girth was not measured.Tom Manger, former police chief in Montgomery County, Maryland, and former president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, says that in his 42 years as an officer he’s only seen the hobble used a handful of times. It also has been suggested that under situations of high physical exertion, oxygen consumption may exceed ventilatory capacity in some individuals. 27 In another component of their 2007 paper, Michalewicz measured oxygen consumption (VO2) and minute ventilation (Ve) in subjects in the PMRP after a simulated struggle. 18 The values found were less than 42% of the peak values generated during a baseline maximum exertion treadmill test. The study thus concluded that factors other than ventilatory failure likely lead to fatality in restraint incidents. The authors did concede that the simulated struggle was on a voluntary basis in healthy subjects not under the influence of illicit substances but were confident that their increased heart rate reflected adequate exertion from which to draw conclusions. Then-Interim Chief of Police Vanessa Wilson, who is now chief, called the incident "egregious" and fired the officer. For two years, officials have fought the case vigorously and have denied wrongdoing or a cover-up in court filings and in depositions. They have argued that the restraint was appropriate in light of the safety risk Smith posed to himself or others. From there, try kissing your partner on the lips, then slowly moving down, stopping to nibble and tease the nipples.

Measured pulmonary parameters in sitting, prone, supine, and restraint positions before and after exercise. Body Harnesses (sometimes called a Karada or Tortoise Shell tie) create convenient securing points for other ties and are also handy for wearing rope under everyday clothing. Demonstrated here using a 50ft length of 6mm rope.The roughly 18,000 police departments in the U.S. have different policies, procedures and training. Most of the nation’s largest police agencies tend to show awareness that the hogtie is dangerous, but not all ban it. That's how my brother died," said Kimberly Smith, his younger sister, who watched the video later. "He died like an animal." Many locations, most notably the UK, EU, and Canada will charge you Tax and Duty on imported leather goods from Australia. Additionally, several case reports have been published over the years implicating the “hobble” restraint as a cause of death in restrained individuals. 4, 5, 6, 7 All of the authors of these reports postulated that positional asphyxia in some way played a role in the death of these individuals. It is notable however that the vast majority of these subjects were either agitated, violent, or under the influence of alcohol, cocaine, or other substances. Without sufficient data to support restraint as a primary cause of death, many investigators were concerned about these confounding factors playing a role. They argued that restraint alone may not be sufficient to cause death and it is instead factors such as delirium, agitation, fatigue, drugs, and alcohol that lead to compromise. In the time since, efforts have been made to grow the database, expanding our clinical knowledge of the physiologic effects of restraint on the human body. A comprehensive list of published prospective research is included in Table 1 It should only be used when you have a situation where a person is violently combative [and] you have a lawful reason to take them into custody,” said Manger. “What you're trying to do is make sure they don't hurt themselves, or hurt someone else.”

The hobble can be tied in several variations — to the handcuffs, but also to the waist. Experts say the person should immediately be turned on their side, and not left facedown, which is dangerous. Marcus’ mother, Mary Smith, said she does not believe police intended to kill her son. They were negligent, treated her son like a throwaway, she said, and should be convicted of manslaughter.Not sure what width or length rope is right for you?
