People would have you believe that there is no escaping from a zip tie. I’m here to tell you that those myths are false. I’ve seen grown men completely subdued by zip ties, only because they have not done their research.
Let’s take something into consideration, zip ties are only meant to hold items together, not resist force. If you were ever in a survival situation where yourself zip tied behind your back, bend over and slam your wrists down on your back while simultaneously separating your wrists with everything you’ve got. When this is done properly, you should have no problem escaping a 180lb zip tie.
