Hi,

I training we were shown a video of an arrested man defeating Flex-cuffs with a shoelace. The lace is treaded through the cuff and pulled back and forth quickly, the friction cuts through the plastic in less than 5 seconds. I heard that cuffs are now available with a wire insert to defeat this escape method but I have not been able to source any of these improved flex-cuffs.

I searched U-Tube for the short video but could not find it.
