ORIGINAL: SimplyMichael Bondage is pretty safe as long as things aren't turning ourple, people cant strangle if beds or supports break. Get a pair of EMT scissors, they are cheap and will free someone fast in an emergency. Knot placement isnt all that critical unless you ate doing super tight and or long term bondage. If you are really into safety, buy Jay Wiseman's book on bondage, its mostly about safety. If you are really into safety?!? what the hell? I don’t know how much you are into rope bondage Michael but that’s the last thing I thought I would hear coming from someone like you. What about compressive radial nerve palsy? Other nerve injuries ? Friction on anchors that cause rope break? The danger of box ties? You can cause nerve damage in less that 60 seconds if you don’t know how to do a correct wrap or tie a knot in the wrong place. If the chest is tied too tightly suffocation can happen very quickly with little warning. With nerve damage there is seldom sign that there is anything wrong until the ropes come off. To the op http://esinem.com/category/articles/safety Resist the temptation to rush ahead. Learn proper forms and why they work. Get reputable tuition from an established teacher who has a proven track record of credible study behind him. Ask who taught him and how much tuition he had, how many classes he has run, look at examples of his work (ideally live) and, most importantly, check his reputation with both respected riggers and his students. Practice what you have learned, then practice some more. If you still have to look, go and practice till you can tie and untie blindfolded. Don’t move ahead until you can do everything that way. Only when you work by ‘muscle memory’ can you be spontaneous and communicate. Bruce (Esinem) is a friend of mine and I highly recommend you follow his work and his advice as he is one of the top when it comes to Shibari. You can join his group on the link I gave you or you can join his group on FL
