As we all know, zip ties can be used as hand restraints and if used correctly can be very effective.
Done correctly, your hands are mostly immobile, and most people assume there is no way to break out of them.
The assumption that no one can break out of zip ties is actually incorrect. Here's why…
If you can focus the energy of a swift downward motion and leverage it against your body (in this case, your hips), you can break out of them relatively easily.
While this would not easily work if law enforcement did it behind your back (nor is it advisable), if faced with an assailant who zip ties your hands in front of you during a survival situation, getting free should be a simple matter.

Lace your shoes/boots with 550 paracord, it can be used to saw through zip-ties
f**k that, get a boot knife
In the Corps we trained w zip ties much tougher than that. I would like to try but no bet on success.
And if you’re zip tied behind your back?…
Who makes a single loop cuff? Bet she wouldn’t even break those small ones with a double loop.
Yea, regular ones, not so much with the ones the police and military use.
let me put a zip tie on her and i bet she want get out of them
Agree. Those won’t break like that
When was the last time you saw someone restrained with their hands in front of them?
It’s Hard to Believe How it’s Possible to Break Out of Dollar Store Zip Ties when Your Hands are in Front of You!
Just pull them apart, they aren’t strong. People think they are flex cuffs…
They can’t be pulled apart… the clip is the weak point that can be broken. Flex cuffs on you on the other hand…you’re fucked without a hacksaw.
As long as they use the weak/thin zip ties. Cheap zip ties are even easier to get out of. use the medium to larger ties and your$#%&!@*is out of luck and I don’t know of many criminals that are going to kidnap and then use those smaller cheap$#%&!@*ties. Always try and escape. Never just give in. You may luck out for sure but do not be fooled by this crap they are preaching here. It is not a guaranteed thing. Same with duct tape. one, maybe two wraps might be easy to get out from but not with the high end stuff and you likely wont get one or two wraps… Always try but these people advertising this stuff are just so full of crap.
All you need is something to slide in and push the metal tooth up
Not so easy when your hands are bound though.. neither is a hacksaw though you’d need assistance with both probably.
Tried is with flex cuffs behind me when I was in Afghanistan got them in front and ended up beating the shot out of my stomach, if someone uses these small things on me I will be smiling in me head!
No show us how to get out of the ones police use
And then how to get out of them with your hands behind your back like they would be in a real situation.
Unless they’re stupid, they’ll use two and intwine them.
