A few months ago I had set up a houdini style upsidedown straight jacket escape with the owner of a local club. Four days before the show we ran into legal conflicts due to the safety of the beam I was to be hanging by. (an industrial grade winch was purchased to raise me about 100 ft in the air).
Very last minute I devised an escape that I can't seem to find documentation of someone else doing. I was straightjacketed and then put into a thick plastic mattress bag (the kind a new mattress is sealed in when purchasing). I must admit, this was extremely dumb considering the time frame and danger. While I had two paramedics standing by (legit) I had not taken into effect the humidity of a mid august night and how that effects moisture in a sealed bag. It was like taking off a wet shirt times 1000.
I did get out and posted it to youtube. I am always looking for some new and exciting challenge and I look forward to people checking it out and giving me feedback.

Note: the video is not professional quality, just a shot a person in the crowd forwarded to me.

thanks! enjoy!

Wow, great escape. It looks so dangerous. I would think that you had trouble breathing in the bag. I also liked how you held the bag up at the end as victory

Thanks! It was verrry dangerous. We had been practicing for months for upsidedown escape.. the bag escape was pt together in under 4 days.. started with 55 gallon trash bags but those kept tearing. I also practiced indoors so not having AC made it very difficult lol.
The blast of cool air when I cut open the bag was one of the best feelings. out of the 250+ people there, I know at least a few were in tears.. the Rocky victory arm thrust was an "in the moment" decision that added a positive ending to an emotional rollercoaster experience.
Thanks for checkin it out and leaving a comment! Do you do escapes?
