You’ll Never Guess How You Can Break Out of Zip Ties!

breaking out of zip ties

Breaking out of zip ties is a simple process if you find yourself restrained by them in the front.

Using basic principles of physics you can muster enough force and leverage to get out very quickly.

If you find yourself restrained by zip ties in the back, you have to use a much different approach to get out, but if you are restrained in the front, this method is almost guaranteed to work.

Using your hips and tension on the ties, you can burst them with ease!

How would you recommend breaking out if you are restrained from the back? Tell us below.

    In the Corps we trained w zip ties much tougher than that. I would like to try but no bet on success.

    Who makes a single loop cuff? Bet she wouldn’t even break those small ones with a double loop.

    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.

    Not so easy when your hands are bound though.. neither is a hacksaw though you’d need assistance with both probably.
