Could you Survive a Springlock Failure?

The springlock suits would really be perfectly safe if their default state was costume mode and not animatronic mode. William or whoever clearly didn't think things through when designing them.

The force of real life spring locks depends on the length, quality of springs, and amount of compression. For a thin suit, you are looking at more of a bruise from the locks themselves. the actual endoskeleton parts would be held in the suit mode by your body. The biggest concern is your eyes and the thin metal sticks around the neck. Those pose a real threat as they are unprotected, and can experience the full force of the locks.

I like to think the tapes purposefully over blow how sensitive the springlocks are.

I think it’s more likely that the two big nonos are directly touching the locks and moister as those two have much greater potential to cause the springs to loose their grip.

[@gorchillatheman-gorilla438]

Long story short: No, you couldn't survive a springlock failure. Once the springlocks come loose, the respective parts instantly come back in place. The likely amount of hemorrhaging would cause other springlocks to become wet with blood and come loose as well, setting off a chain reaction that turns the suit into a death trap. The main reason why you wouldn't survive would be that once the springlocks in the torso or head go off, the head/torso of the endoskeleton comes together and crushes you like a watermelon inside a car compactor. So, no. You would NOT be able to survive a springlock failure.

Even a minor spring lock case could probably be fatal. The spring lock that went off would cause you to bleed massively, triggering even more springlocks.

[@humanogaming5421]

i think depends on what part snaps first bc if its the upper half yeah gravity sucks

[@_aWiseMan]

That's what makes it so horrifying. Imagine one snaps on your leg. The sheer shock of the sound would be what you notice first, before you feel the pain. And before you can even think you go down. The leg itself would now be too stiff to actually move naturally tho so it's a Russian roulette of the shock of hitting the floor on your landing on your other knee, snapping other spring locks causing shocks and triggering others with your blood. The whole process would be just slow enough for terror but fast enough that you couldn't think before another went off. Not all of them would go off because the one in the neck probably is the only one capable of causing all of them to trigger. And it's probably the hardest to trigger on accident. It would be possible to not die from it immediately but you wouldn't survive long enough to get it off, especially if it's a break and it has enough force to go through your bone, if it can unwound quickly it might have less force but the lacerations and stab wound would still cause you to bleed out. And if it goes all the through you like William then your screwed. You CANT take it off. The only thing even keeps your body solid is the suit. Every bone in your body's probably shattered. And it would definitely tear your body up taking it off. You wouldn't even be able to have an open casket funeral

[@LPFWHE]

It depends, like, if it were the lowest springlock in the suit, then the blood wouldn't drip down onto other springlocks, so then as long as you are I N C R E D I B L Y careful, you should be able to get emergency services (If in public) and take of the rest of the suit.

[@LPFWHE]

If it's a lower down springlock, eg feet, it may stay lodged in your foot, meaning no bleeding until it is removed. You could then take the rest off, go to hospital and have it carefully taken off while you could be bandaged up.

[@ThatsPrettyCool_DontYouThink]

The " Drowning in your blood " thing is only true inside of the the books. In the games, you'd either die instantly from the sheer force of the springlocks and heart failure(if the springlocks are strong enough), or you'd be alive for 10 seconds. A good example of this would be " Zapper770 "s 2020 springlock failure, where the springlocks kill him in less than 7 seconds. HOWEVER: this VERY vastly depends on the state of the suit. As you know, rustier things tend to work less or don't function due to the rust. Therefore, if your suit was rotting in a backroom for 8+ years, like William Afton's did, the death would take longer due to some of the springlocks not properly snapping backwards, therefore they don't kill you AS fast, similar to the springlocks in the FNaF movie, where William was suffering for well over 2 minutes.

[@VenomQuill]

The books, games, and movie are all different in terms of how they depict the spring lock suits. In the games, Afton's suit went off all at once and he just slowly went down, jittering like he'd fallen into a seizure, mouth gaping like he was trying-and failing-to breathe. So I could see him drowning in his own blood in the games. The movie's springlocks snapped one by one pretty slowly. The books were different than that. The movie's scene was pretty disappointing because of this but, eh.

I imagine the tech in the world where Fnaf takes place is very different to our own. I mean by the 80s they had 8ft robots that were capable of moving around completely on their own - that's something we haven't managed to fully pull off yet and definitely wouldn't just plop down in some random restaurant if we could. So it's easier to propose that the tech inside the suits is more advanced, and small enough that it can just be held at the sides by these spring locks.

[@JamSparing]

@@Jenna_Talia Oh absolutely - this is all science fiction of course! I'm just curious because as we've seen the endoskeletons are still pretty huge and I struggle visualizing it, I think. Is it all held back so that the skeleton's behind the person? Is that how it works? My comment on how they work irl was also regarding like. You do have to connect the shell to the inner structure somehow, right? Am I making sense here lol

[@Jamesoldai]

The endoskeleton looks much thinner than the suit. The ribcage opens up and gets pulled to the back, the skelearms get pulled to the side, same with the legs. The joints are small motors, and the wires are coiled around the skeleton. The torso of the springlock suit is VERY spacial, it can fit a body and the core of the endoskeleton aslon as the ribcage opens and the core is pulled to the back. I'll just leave you wondering about the skull, joints, and the feet as I don't even know how animatronics work in the real world and this is just science fiction for a horror game about a purple man and his love for bears. (Foot note: This was just a guess that was thought about in the middle of the night)

[@DisasterEnby]

fnaf animatronics have been shown since the first game to work extremely differently to those in our world, to be fair. real world animatronics - yeah, springlocks wouldn't work. but fnaf ones are a metal endoskeleton in the equivalent of a mascot costume. In most cases, a mascot costume split up at every important joint.

[@Zenith-TheMachine]

I have an idea for a variant of the springlock suits that would ACTUALLY be safe. So it’s basically how springlock suits are manufactured, except the Endoskeleton gets removed completely, then once someone puts the suit on, the parts that were connected to the locks are CAREFULLY put back into place.

[@Phantom23550]

The springlock suits are composed of several individual spring-powered locking mechanisms, hence their name. When one wishes to change a springlock suit from its animatronic form into its suit form, they must insert a hand crank into its designated slot and proceed to turn it firmly into position. Doing so will proceed to coil the springs into their suit positions, causing the endoskeleton parts to be compressed and locked around the sides. When operating a suit, one must be careful not to touch or lubricate any of the springlocks and keep them tightly wound. If these requirements are not met, the wearer of the suit has little chance of survival; the springlocks will come loose and the endoskeleton parts will rapidly recoil inwards, thus impaling the suit's user and causing a slow, painful death. From the various springlock suit appearances, one can gather that this event has taken place at least twice within the history of the franchise. One event was the death of William, as depicted in the end-of-night minigames of the third game. The other was mentioned by Phone Guy, being a "springlock failure". Little-to-no context is given as to this event, so it is mostly regarded as speculation. It is unknown if the Bite of '83 counts as a springlock failure despite a springlock suit being involved; this could be the incident Phone Guy mentioned

[@le0gaming82]

How do you guys know ts??😭😭 eve

Honestly Bite of 83 was so much worse than a springlock cause Fredbear's jaw has a hydraulic press to support the head's weight, meaning C.C.'s skull wasn't just crushed, it was FLATTENED.

The spring locks seem to be fairly safe with only a small number of failures that led to the suits being discontinued.

[@awlow052]

While not confirmed by any means, there is a pretty popular theory that I choose to believe which states that the "multiple and simultaneous springlock faileres" Phone Guy talks about in the third game, involved two Fredbear's employees who died each in a suit, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie, before the events of the games take place. These two employees' souls would then become Shadow Freddy and RWQFSFASXC respectively, each taking the form of the suits they got killed by, now destined to harmlessly haunt the restaurant. This theory is even mentioned in The Freddy Files as a possibility in the section that discusses the identity of this shadowy duo

[@decomposingdave2902]

I like to think the mechanical costumes were actually safe at one point and they came from a animatronic company but unfortunately some of the costumes were accidentally designed poorly and the bad batch of costumes accidentally got set to the restaurants without second checking them for any errors

Or maybe the ones that were unsafe were cheaper so that's why they got those. That would be the only logical reason why it would be cheaper to have a super advanced suit with a separate animatronic and costume mode, rather than having a separate animatronic and costume.

[@boneman9751]

What doesnt make sense to me (and other people have talked about this) is why it was designed this way when a very obvious way to fix it would be to just reverse the way it works. Let me explain, spring lock suits are basically endoskeletons that use springs to pull them open into sort of exoskeletons (like power armour in fallout). So why not have it always be an exoskeleton that can close into an endo? Then if there’s a failure, they’re only in animatronic mode and at worst you’d see fredbear collapse on stage and a worker have to set him back up instead of an employee getting crushed inside him. It’s like matpat doing the math and showing that it’d be realistically impossible for fredbear to bite through a human skull unless he was designed to do so. It’s almost like these things were meant to kill people. Especially when it would probably be easier to design a suit that pulls the metal bits into the main frame instead of a suit that pulls the metal bits out of the frame.

No, but it's the first of its kind. Think about it: a bunch of restaurants have animatronics and people in mascot costumes. But how many of them have animatronics that can BECOME costumes and vice versa? How many of them have animatronics that can walk around? It's likely for the marvel of it just as much as the cost of upkeep for a multitude of different suits/bots. You have two choices: there are two pizzerias; they each have a singing animatronic band that put on performances and then occasionally stops to go directly to the crowd and greet the kids and serve pizza/cake to the children for birthday parties. One of them is alligator-southern themed, one of them is woodland-diner themed and they're both equal distance from your house. While you've been to a dozen of these places in your time on Earth, your kid wants to go to one for their birthday and honestly, you could just put your hand over your eyes and pick one and your soon-to-be-4-year-old would be delighted either way. However, you heard that the woodland critter one had this fascinating feature with their bots. Their bots worked as bots and mascot suits. The kids wouldn't know this, thinking "Fredbear" and "Spring Bonnie" were really a singing bear and bunny, but you heard it through rumors and word of mouth passed along from an interview with the owners and idle talk. So, though you could go to the gator one, you decide to go to Fredbear's Family Diner, at the very least to check out what all the ruckus was about. Indeed, you see during the shows the bots are on stage, but later the same bots on the ground change eyes, as their animatronic eyes are wound back. The B-Team (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy) are off on other stages and Foxy runs out to a crowd that screams in joy. You would not have found this at the southern-style pizzeria. The pizza and games are overpriced so it's a special occasions place, but your kid had a magical time.

[@LividGaming]

I think afton opted to use spring lock method is because it holds the suit and still looks mechanical and like a robot while a human is using it. If they just used a suit and put cotton in it you’ll be able to tell it’s just a human wearing a suit and not a animatronic character

How to 100% survive a springlock failure: Don't wear the suit.

@Rileyamsrno it’s just from the games lore

@Rileyamsr Nah, but I bet it can hypothetically be emulated in reality.

You know what makes it scary? That when you’re springlocked, crying and suffering in the catastrophic pain and blood pouring everywhere with all of your flesh and bones crushed, the animatronic that you’re in might start trying to move around. Cause springlock mode is made for when the animatronic can dance, move, or sing. So you could be sitting there suffering as the animatronic tries to move which basically twist and turn all of your internal organs and flesh. Or you could be a corpse and it’s still moving on it’s own a bit. Oh wait…

I think a factor not brought up a lot is also the speed at which the locks come undone. If the decompression is slow, like if the lock simply becomes loosened, then it'd probably just be somewhat uncomfortable but not lethal. The real danger comes from a sudden release of pressure, like if the locks were to snap, which is most likely what happened with springtrap, since all the locks were probably very rusty and weak. Something I also find somewhat confusing is how many locks actually hold one part of the suit. I can't imagine it's one flimsy lock holding back an entire limb, there'd definitely have to be multiple. So theoretically, if just one lock were to come undone then it wouldn't instantly release the entire part it was holding, and you could probably just gently remove the costume before anything actually gets released. Once again, the springtrap situation was unique in that I'd imagine the force of one lock snapping caused a vibration that set off a chain reaction, releasing the rest. So I'd think overall the chance of a dangerous accident would be incredibly low, even if one of the springlocks came loose. Most of the examples of spring lock failure we see in the series have been under special circumstances; spring trap was an unmaintained suit in a damp room, and iirc the one Carlton was put in in the book was specifically noted as being a failed prototype or something? It's been a while since I've read the books so don't quote me on that. The only unexplained one was Williams previous accident, but I feel like it wouldn't be too wild of an assumption to say that it's possible it was also an early design or prototype he was working on? Obviously he and Henry were the ones who made them, and it would explain how he survived too, since Henry probably would've been present. It would also explain why he wasn't wearing the mask, which would be odd to do if it were in a public setting since it would break the immersion. But that's just my personal theory, idk.

[@faertios0404]

Actually this makes much more sense than some other theories I've seen around.

[@StupidNoobDudeorSuperNoobDude]

2:42 Not only the flinch, but the possibility of the blood that exited your body and getting to another springlock can also trip more.

[@STARIZZY458]

Yeah but your future children won’t if it springlocks every part of your body

[@slimything513]

If the suits we're designed like the OG theories, where the springlocks simply fastened the endoskeleton in place and during suit mode the endoskeleton was simply removed, survival chances could be much higher, but of course, for lore reasons the dangerous option was much easier for Scott

[@mrmateusz5188]

i think that is the case? just the way the suit is fastened is using spring-loaded bolts that fire into the endoskeleton when off-

[@slimything513]

@@mrmateusz5188 based off of how spring trap is in fnaf 3 and the books the spring locks pull back the parts of the endoskeleton to the side of the suit, and when releases the endoskeleton reassembles, and in aftons case, while he was still in it

[@mrmateusz5188]

@@slimything513 „parts of the endoskeleton” could just be plates and bolts that slot in on the actual endoskeleton bones? Or do you mean to say the whole endoskeleton is inside the costume, i thought they still needed to put the endoskeleton in and the springlock function was used when the endoskeleton broke

[@slimything513]

@@mrmateusz5188 somehow they pull the entire endoskeleton to the sides of the suit. It has to be this way because how else did Springtrap have his Endoskeleton in fnaf 3?

[@sniffydolphin611]

The fact the thumbnail springtrap has actual eyes that are just visible enough to make you double back is awesome

[@popaul_feur]

I think the spring locks on the old suit William puts on just before he dies should have already failed because the suit was not well maintained, wet and rusting even though it hasn't moved for some time.

[@toast526]

I love how the instructions just say that if it fails just go to a quiet space to bleed out 💀

[@Spectrizedwastaken]

2:44 Actually, you are probably dead if one of the spring locks goes off even if you don't flinch knowing that there's gonna be bleeding. The funny part is bleeding is wet and that will just trip MORE spring locks which will cause MORE blood to cause MORE spring locks, and you see the pattern.

[@erickreider9261]

Yes, you because William Afton survived a springlock failure before he died in the safe room by setting off his spring bonnie suit's springlocks.
