Risks to being tied up?

Question

Can you get injured from getting your wrists tied? (I’ve heard some people mention stuff like nerve damage before) and is there any way to avoid these risks? How should you go about it safely?

Answer

Use soft silk rope, fluffy cuffs, etc, nothing to narrow and do not over tighten anything! The pressure on the inside of the wrist can compress the median nerve and cause carpal tunnel like symptoms and potentially nerve damage so be careful of that as well

Answer

You risk nerve damage, cutting off blood flow, and rope burn generally. Make sure they aren’t too tight and laying across pressure points and joints. Look for skin discoloration and if anything starts going numb or gets too swollen or changes color then ease off the pressure. 
Always always always have sturdy scissors and a good knife close by in case of an emergency.
Added risk is how you are moved once incapacitated. I had a rigger that had tied my arms behind my back at the wrists and elbows and tried to lift me off the bed from my wrists. He didn’t slide his hand under my torso first, AND he lifted up instead of pulled back so he almost pulled both my arms out of their sockets. (He didn’t luckily, I used a safe word) but it’s something simple like that that can lead to a big painful mistake.

Answer

You can look up rope tutorials online, even on youtube to find safe ways to tie rope cuffs for wrists etc. In some cases, they'll explain why not to tie them a certain way or use certain ties in some positions. Some will advise limiting the time spent with wrists bound until you're used to it and some advise to be sure you can slip 2 fingers between the rope and skin to reduce risk of cutting off circulation. If your hands are going numb, you may not realize you need a break until its too late etc.

Answer

I would say it depends on the size it the rope. Also dont pull at it or jerk around bc you’re gonna hurt your wrists. Hold on to it to avoid stress on the joints🤷🏻‍♀️
