| In straitjacket style arms are crossed and wrist tied, tightly with no slack. Elbow and biceps tied front and back, head harness roped makes the head and jaw immoveable. Feet and legs are restrained to make vertical and lateral movement difficult. Under the yellow suit a rubber dry suit, thin and heavy latex gloves remove tactile finger dexterity. Escape chance zero. | ||

| Rear view of Viking black rubber dry suit with arms crossed and tied in front and back and through crotch | Restrained horizontally feet are tied both vertical and lateral positions as well as knees elbows shoulders and head. The semi rigid position makes arm and hand movement difficult for any escape attempt. Rope ends are tied out of reach of hands on the underside of the restraint bed. | |
 |
The escape challenge lasted 1hour 34 minutes. The escape was made by untying knots and using what little rope slack could be found slipped loops off the wrists. Then with the heavy rubber gloves off hands could loosen other loops and slip out of rope. |

| Close up of hands and forearms tied together. Elbows are tied together to prevent pulling or twisting hands loose. | The head is covered with a nose and mouth latex hood, then covered with a cotton balaclava, followed by a leather head harness that keeps mouth closed and can be used to fix head in one position. Enough slack permitted turning the head only, for safety. | |

In a Caught-In-The-Act .040 black latex internal sleeve body bag and latex gag hood. Hospital restraints were used for extra security to pull feet and legs up to chest. Then inserted in heavy army bag and locked down. Nope - no escape. Heat and breathing difficulties kept this event under 2 hours. Less rigorous positions were also no-escape for 24 hours. | ||
| Max's favourite escape on stage. It starts with hand cuffs to wrists with arms in front, long heavy chain locks to the hand cuffs with chain end over the shoulders and the other at the feet. Ankles locked in irons then the chain from the wrists pulled tight and locked to the ankle irons. Kneeling a Transport jacket is put on over top of the arms and hands. Crotch strap and back buckles and velcro hold the transport jacket tight. A waist belt is locked through the transport jacket holding loops t o prevent arms from slipping down. The chain at the shoulder locks to a leather collar. Latex gag hood is used under a head harness. chin ends are wrapped under knees and locked at collar to maintain fetal position. That's not all. Then Max is put in the army page which has two covers over the opening. The inner flap is laced into the bag with rope and tied on the outside of the bag. The outer opening has grommets which are locked all together with a handcuff. The audience is then invited to take a hundred feet of rope and tie up the outside of the bag any way they choose. It takes 40 minutes to do Max up. Escape time on stage Fastest: 9 minutes, slowest 17. You can see the whole thing as: Max's Great Escape |

| A serious scene with a lot of risk but every precaution taken was a great success. Please don't try this any one. First placed in a Caught-In-The-act sleeved heavy latex bag, gas mask hood used but fitted with ports for second stage of a diving regulator and separate airways to mouth and nose. Air tank used for emergencies, but in fact was not required. Using pallet and shrink wrap, Max was completely encased and air tight except for the air hoses and safety air supply. | Max placed in 45 gallon drum the lid was sealed and bolted, having two bung holes, one for exhaust and one for air intake. Drum was then filled with water to the top to which then a liquid rubber agent was added. The agent reacts with water to expand at a thousand times its volume producing a rigid dense rubber foam. Cast in this material no movement is possible. | Sealed and ready for shipping, one jellied fish. No escape, risks demanded this be a short term experiment. While it worked the risks suggest that it never be done again in this format. The mess afterwards took a day to clean up.. | |

| Duct tape over saran wrap for several hours can be a very hot experience. The hands were restrained under the knees, the plastic wrapped head to toes with arms being done separately before being taped in place under the knees. It took over two hours to get wrapped up. Concern for breathing led to leaving the nose sticking out. Small nose holes can slip out of position and cause suffocation. | If in doubt use nose tubes, and mouth airway. This position can be hard on lower backs and necks. Don't expect more than 4 hours in this position. Certainly it allows for some fun play to certain body parts. It would be escapable provided a safety is on hand to help out. Any form of movement and attempts to struggle with the three layers of duct tape and plastic wrap would create enormous body heat. | That alone would limit escape ability and may lead to hyperthermia. A safety person and scissors are needed to be within a few feet at all times. Chest compression causing respiration distress is also a risk. |
