Description

Panic snaps are design to allow the instant release of a bound person in case of emergency. They are typically use to connect wrist cuffs to overhead fixing points.

The risk of using carabiner style clips is that should the sub faint or loose consciousness then they will be left hanging from their wrists. The danger comes from the fact that these types of clip cannot be undone whilst under tension. This means that the top must support the sub's entire weight whilst they unclip the chains. The panic snap gets around this problem by allowing the clip to be undone while being under tension.
