Some types of bondage are completely inescapable and require the assistance of a second person (a dominant partner) to apply and undo the restraints to the submissive. If the dominant partner becomes incapacitated (e.g. due to a medical emergency), this could result in serious injury or death to the submissive.
Some scenes may involve bondage that is completely inescapable, requiring the assistance of a second person (a dominant partner) to apply and undo the restraints to the submissive. If the dominant partner becomes incapacitated (e.g. due to a medical emergency), this could result in serious injury or death to the submissive.


'''Mitigation''': Disclose details about the scene to a trusted third-party and ask them to physically check in or call emergency services if the dominant/submissive don't check in by a certain time. There are a few ways to do this.

* Schedule a "dead man's switch" message. Write a message to be sent to trusted people that explains the situation, and schedule it to send several hours after the scene is expected to end. (Many messaging platforms and email providers offer scheduling functionality). If the scene is completed without incident, delete the message as soon as possible. If the message is not deleted, the system will automatically send the message at the scheduled time.
* Ask a trusted person who is located in physical proximity to physically intervene if the dominant/submissive does not check in by a certain time.
** Make sure the trusted person knows where the scene is and has access to the location, e.g. physical keys and access codes.
