[@NeroKoso]

I'm sure people pointed this out, but when police handcuffs you, hands would be rotated 180 degrees. Palms facing away from each other. And as you could see, for a good reason. It's pretty easy to open them when you can manipulate the lock with fingers. But once fingers are facing wrong way, then you cant (or at least will be way more difficult). Also harder to get hands in front of you.. Also harder to just break them. (How do I know this? I can't answer.)

[@luisgutierrez8047]

This WHOLE video tbh 😂

[@theKNI]

Anton, whilst those locks are VERY easy to pick, there's a more simple method. Snap the bobby pin in half and that gives you a flat strip without needing to bite off the plastic blobs. Slide that strip into the cuffs where the serrated part enters the other half of the cuff and it will open. The lock is completely bypassed. There are cuffs with a security mechanism which makes it harder. It looks like you have those in the video since the little pin on the back end of the key is what is used to push that mechanism into the locked position on the back edge of the cuffs' lock housing, the opposite end to where the lock is. If that pin isn't used though, the mechanism is not used either so you can use my simple method from above. If the mechanism is engaged using the pin on the key, you can still pick those the way you did in the video by turning the pick away from the lock to disengage the security mechanism and then back the usual way to open them.

[@AntonFomenko]

That’s good tech. But it won’t work with S&W handcuffs anymore. New version has no access to sliding anymore!💪

[@paulthomas8262]

There is a type in Europe which is like the 3rd but is not hinged, just solid. It is actual wider and typically the hands are stacked opposite ways in the front so it is vertical, and the hands horizontal.

You can shim handcuffs to get them off as well, same idea as swimming a padlock, you just need a longer shim to push up the ratchet mechanism in the "male" side of the locking mechanism.

[@hulkthedane7542]

....and once you have someone cuffed, you NEVER leave them alone! Ever!. In most (if not all) countries you are fully responsible for the wellbeing of a person, if you have arrested them, particularly if they are restrained, so there is a legal aspect to it. YOU can be punished, if someone in your cuffs/custody gets injured. Additionally cuffs are not impossible to escape, and law enforcement personal knows that - so you stay by the cuffed person, watching them closely to prevent them from getting free, until some other branch of law enforcement has taken them over, they are released or incarcerated.👍👍👍

[@Idiomatick]

[@JenniferKitchens123]

I used to be able to lay my thumbs flat against the inside of my forearms, and bend my thumbs backwards to touch the back of my wrist. Now I am extremely arthritic in my thumbs. I don’t know if there is any correlation between the two.

[@hulkthedane7542]

The only police force, that I know, to use the "level 3" cuffs, is the English police. The cuffs are quite difficult to put on a criminal if he makes even the slightest amount of resistance, since they cannot twist. That means, you have to have much more control over his wrists to put them on. The "level 2" cuffs are standard in most police forces and for most guards around the world. Because they can twist, they are easier to put on a person who fights back. I have worked as a security guard for 17 years in Denmark, where we are not allowed to be armed in any way. I have experience in putting people in cuffs, and it is a LOT more difficult than what most people think from watching American movies........

[@vidhill]

Where's tge tee shrirt from!?

[@TheTechAdmin]

If average flexibility is a 5 out of 10, I am about a 3. I am able to go from being handcuffed in the back, to the front. But I can't do it by jumping like Jackie Chan; well I never tried that. I have to roll onto my side and slide the cuffs under my butt, then slide one leg through at a time.

[@carterray6014]

Haha K for comfortable 😂

[@grischad20]

i have to ask: is it that he's proving that being flexible helps taking off the handcuff, or is it just that his wrist are so much thinner that he had a lot more give to move his hands in the handcuffs. also i wonder if the reason he could do all the "bring the cuff back to the front" is because he has a long ape index (and a pretty thin torso, so even more arm length) or being flexible, once again. long story short, i think david is just genetically optimized to get out of handcuffs :)

[@GeorgeBolas]

Воу, вот это действительно неожиданно))

[@Taylor-L-m1n]

Idk if it's much of a challenge but I would love to challenge you to try my warm up routine I do daily. 600 situps with a 20 lb kettlebell... 400 Russian twist with a 35 lb kettlebell. And finish with 600 pushups. 😊 I do this daily as a warm up

[@steedofsouthasia]

[@MT--WesleyCrumblebee]

Put key in your mouth and then use mouth to put it into the cuff?

[@KenWAnderson]

I'm like you Anton in that I have a "long body and short limbs" so I could never escape (to the front) even the wide handcuffs.

[@hamanncheese]

Used to practice picking with thumb cuffs, keyhole facing wrist. Hardest level!

[@hamanncheese]

Key in mouth.....

[@suncu91]

Shouldn't palms be out when handcuffing someone correctly?

[@overrideFunction]

That's how I was trained. You also always double lock them and that would make it slightly harder to pick

[@garywebster3044]

Along with raw strength the other significant factor seems to be wrist size. Bigger wrists allow the force from handcuff breaking to be spread over a larger area making it both less damaging and less painful, its a straight forward mechanical advantage in the same way that the higher ape index is for flexi guy

[@amberblackford9999]

Anton I wonder if on top of flexibility and mobility and your negative ape index, you also have a longer torso? I have a negative ape index and longer torso for my height, so learning to do seated L-sits takes a lot more shoulder strength and flexibility than for someone with longer arms…so I imagine the handcuff trick would be harder for me too.

Could they escape when they are back to back and the left hands are handcuffed together and the right hands with another cuff?

[@realMaggyMage]

Could you not use the key with your mouth when the keyhole is on the inside?
