Here are the women’s hands being bound together by many layers of strong adhesive duct tape that can be purchased anywhere.

Most people would be unable to escape from this position shown below.

Here is the Method of Escape.

The woman lifts her hands above her head with her elbows bent.

Then, she quickly and dramatically forces her hand in a downward motion and she is able to break the tape and release her hands.

It appears that the downward motion from her hands over her head releases an amazing amount of energy and force which allows her break the tape.
