Lux Fetish Hogtie Set - 5-Piece

Product Information

Experience level – How experienced you are using hogtie restraints will inform what kind of restraints you get. You can of course get hogties for beginners and for those just dipping their toes into the world of BDSM, but you can also get harsher restraints with more options for those more advanced users. Demonstrators gather outside City Hall in Greensboro, N.C., on May 3, 2021 to protest the death of Marcus Smith after police hogtied him in September 2018. Travis Dove for The Marshall Project But in Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Houston and Indianapolis, officers are allowed to restrain a person in this manner in certain circumstances or with certain provisions. That's how my brother died," said Kimberly Smith, his younger sister, who watched the video later. "He died like an animal."

Measured pulmonary parameters in sitting, prone, supine, and restraint positions before and after exercise.

What are Hogtie Restraints?

Smith's friends and family were suspicious. Marcus was homeless and struggled with substance abuse, but they knew him as unfailingly polite and upbeat. Nine days after his death, an outreach worker for the homeless wrote Scott and the city council and asked "how such a beautiful life could come to such an abrupt end." The letter requested the public release of body camera video and all pertinent information, and said, "Chief Scott, we need answers." NBC News and The Marshall Project reviewed use-of-force data from the Aurora Police Department obtained via a state open records request and found the agency used the hobble on roughly 350 people over the past five years. Body camera footage shows that they carried her out by her arms and shoulders and put her in a police vehicle and then on the front lawn. They eventually removed the restraints and took her to jail. An officer said in the police report that he heard a "pop" from Peoples' shoulder and that she was taken to the hospital. Peoples says her arm was dislocated. Adapting hog ties for larger, broader, or less flexible folks is made easy by tying in a modular fashion. 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.

Then-Interim Chief of Police Vanessa Wilson, who is now chief, called the incident “egregious” and fired the officer. From there, try kissing your partner on the lips, then slowly moving down, stopping to nibble and tease the nipples. Greensboro policy allowed officers to tie a person's hands and feet together when they needed a higher level of restraint than handcuffs, but the policy did not define when this higher level of restraint was necessary or appropriate. Training materials warned officers that "Arrestee face down and 'hogtied' (knee bend greater than 90°) in transit" was a dangerous position that could lead to positional asphyxia. With reference to the current COVID-19 pandemic, some have drawn attention to the medical management of these patients and how it relates to the physiology of prone restraint. Recent recommendations for the management of ventilated COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe ARDS have suggested the implementation of prone positioning. 30 Prone positioning has been shown to improve ventilation through a number of ways, namely by the reduction of the ventral-dorsal transpulmonary difference and through improved perfusion to the dependent portions of the lung. It has been suggested by some that these physiologic benefits add further evidence to the contradiction of positional asphyxia, arguing that prone positioning at the very least is not detrimental from a V/Q perspective.

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 He said the only time police should use any type of maximal restraint is for people who are "not just belligerent, but dangerously resistant to being arrested." It was terrifying, the only thing Marcus wanted was help," he said. "I don't know where they got the suicidal or combative or collapsing from. I didn't see none of that."

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. As our gift to you, a free set of our Getting Started DVDs is included with nearly every rope kit we offer. 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. The predominant criticism surrounding the current research on positional asphyxia is that it is performed on healthy subjects, usually at rest. Critics argue that in a real-world restraint scenario involving injury or death, subjects are likely to be under a significant amount of physiological and psychological stress. It is thought that the physical altercation involved in such scenarios may lead to increased cardiovascular and ventilatory demand that becomes further compromised by the introduction of positional restraint. Moreover, those with preexisting health conditions may be at a higher risk of mortality due to complications of restraint.Not sure what width or length rope is right for you? This should help you determine the differences between the various hemp rope sizes. We offer 4mm, 6mm and 8mm rope in various lengths across eight fantastic colors. Investigators have also postulated that death from positional restraint could be mediated by cardiovascular parameters. In particular, it has been theorized that increased intraabdominal pressure could reduce venous return leading to cardiopulmonary compromise. Roegella's previously mentioned 1997 paper also examined the cardiac function of subjects in the hobble restraint. 14 The study showed significant decreases in cardiac output, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate in the prone hobble vs. prone sitting position. The investigators hypothesized that the decreases in blood pressure and cardiac output could be attributed to decreased venous return from an increase in intrathoracic pressure. However, it is important to note that only 6 subjects were included in the trial. Furthermore, cardiac parameters were measured using a non-invasive Porta-Pres with cardiac output inferred by pulse curve analysis. The feet are a very powerful weapon and the legs are a very powerful weapon, especially if you have someone that is in an excited state," DeVane said. Twelve experiments measured heart rate as an outcome of positional restraint, four of which applied weight to subjects. All twelve of these studies found no clinically significant increases in heart rate. That’s how my brother died,” said Kimberly Smith, his younger sister, who watched the video later. “He died like an animal.”

You can also incorporate the stoplight system (red, yellow and green) to let your partner know what’s good, what you may want to pause and talk about or slow down with and what’s a no-no. This is a great way for feeling out boundaries and comfort levels and keeping communication going. Officers pushed him face down on the street and tied a belt around his ankles and attached it to his cuffed hands so tightly his knees were lifted off the pavement. On the video, his last coherent words were “Help me.” NBC News and The Marshall Project reviewed the policy manuals for departments in the 30 largest cities in the U.S.

How to use Hogtie Restraints

In the Boston and Milwaukee manuals, there is no mention of hogtying or the hobble device. When questioned, both departments said they do not provide officers with a hobble. Research into the safety of positional restraint emerged in the early 1980s with the examination of “choke holds” leading to their banning by the majority of law enforcement. 1 , 2 Much of the research thereafter focused on the “hog-tie” or “hobble” restraint, also referred to as the prone maximal restraint position (PMRP). In this variation of restraint, the subject is placed in the prone position with arms handcuffed and ankles bound. The knees are then flexed, and the ankles secured to the handcuffs. It had been postulated that positional restraint could in some way affect an individual's ability to properly ventilate. Some have considered that such positioning could obstruct the upper airway or restrict the motion of the chest wall, diaphragm, or abdomen. This idea, coined “positional asphyxia” was first used by Bell et al. who examined 30 cases of asphyxia-related death in a nine-year period in Broward, FL. 3 Their study found that most often, the deceased individuals were found in positions that obstructed the upper airway. Of the thirty, four cases were reportedly found in positions that restricted chest and diaphragm movement, suggesting perhaps the cause of death could have been from hypoventilatory respiratory failure. No other significant contributors to death were found in these subjects. The "Dragonfly" is a wonderfully simple, yet decorative arm- or leg-binder and is endlessly adjustable for every body.
