- We see it in the movies all the time but how realistic are they? I decided to set up my own trap and try to escape.
Special thanks to Elleca and Sam for who also completed the challenge and helped out.

Ginger ninja... I'm not sure if you guys are aware of urban lingo. Ninja is a softer term used in place of the N word for those that are sensitive.
On the hand one, if you can get the rope snaked around a leg then squeeze the hamstrings to force a bend in the leg will that take the pressure off the hands long enough to give you a moment to wiggle out? Would like to hear more on what went wrong on that one.
Why on earth did you edit out your friend actually getting out of the 1 leg setup..? I watch these to see how its done
And yourself.. you edit out the most important bits☹️
@@suzygirl1843 and it also means an actual ninja.
Olivia shows that it's strength to weight ratio, not absolute strength, that wins these types of challenges.
Yes, and great flexibility too
Yeah but that probably won’t help with a street fight
@@DipiloDonkolus I dunno, Black Widdow routinely takes out dozens of men three times her size. Must be real because equal rights and all.
@@DJ_Force..I think you were being sarcastic of whatever but if not, then in the movies black widow has super strength WICH ISN’T REAL plus when have you ever seen some skinny lady take down a man
@@DipiloDonkolus I was poking fun of the recent spat of movies showing 115 pound women throwing around 300 pound men like rag dolls. In the Marvel movies Black Widdow doesn't appear to have anything special but "training".
Step one: Become Ben Echo
😂
Olivia was quicker. She would rescue the other by the time Ben freed himself.
No the real first step is lose weight. It could have easily done this when I weighed like 80 kg and was able to pull myself up a rope with my arms but now that I'm at 100 i couldn't. The weight makes the constriction and pain much worse.
Lol. I kept thinking- “Pull yourself into a standing position, it’ll be easier without blood rushing to your head, and the ropes won’t pull tighter from your weight. And then Olivia did just that.
I feel like she's the only one who really gave it some thought lol.
Omg! I came back to 200-something likes!
A thought: with one leg tied, the first thing you might want to try doing is seeing if you can wiggle off the shoe from your free foot, so you can use both hands to hold the rope, and your toes to act as extra fingers to loosen the snare (only possible with certain kinds of snare)
I need to try this
Yooo browneyyyyy
You have to
in most movies, the character escapes by using knife or other improvised sharp objects to cut the rope, so I think what these guys did are probably harder
Ever tried cutting a rope that was strong enough to hold you with a pocket knife? Especially while trying to hold your weight with one hand...
Movies like what
Probably because if it was real they'd tie a tough knot. Not just "lay it as a trap".
And they do not die by the fall.
Your friends tried to unknot the tie but seeing olivia how she got off in the first challenge would have helped them to get free like the last one
I honestly thought even before this video existed that pulling yourself up might be the best option but I also know that I would be completely incapable of doing that.
Might have something to do with her beeing a woman too. In general women have a much less topheavy center of mass.
@@jasperzanovich2504 I dunno dude, in a life or dead moment you never know. I broke my legs once trying to save my little cousing from falling into a river. The human body is weird
@@SiodogRehane Yep, limiter is cranked way up to stop you from breaking everything, but in life or death people can lift cars
We have to figure out how to make two hands escape🤔🤔🤔
Great video’💪🔥
My idea for the two hand escape is to climb your legs up, wrap one around the rope (still vertical), then slowly try to force that leg horizontal (perhaps using the other leg to pull down the ankle of the first leg). If you can do this then you'd have a wrap in the rope around your leg which would be incredibly uncomfortable but release a lot of pressure on the hands, possibly allowing an escape.
Naaa bro. It’s ez. Just swing.
I don't know ho realistic this is depending on how tight the plams of your hands are tied together, but maybe trying to do a dynamic pull-up and grabing the rope with your hands higher to give some slack to the knot, then pull-up again and losen the knot pulling with your mouth!
@@billyboy_45 this
@@billyboy_45 that was my thought.
Basically do a pull up, then lunge to grab the rope. If you slip, it's going to hurt. But if you can hold your weight with one hand for a second, you can slip the other hand out, and release.
I think the way to escape always involves releasing tension from the knot. So I imagine that a way of releasing yourself from the two hand tie would be rounding the rope two or three times around your ankle, then bending up again, trying to keep the rope under the sole of your feet, so you'll end up standing on top of it. Then holding the rope with your hands to stabillise yourself, slightly bend forward ro release tension from the knot, and wiggle it open. I don't know if I explained myself properly, but I think that would do the trick.
Interesting
Hmm, yes. I dont koow if understood correctly. But i think if your able to make the rope go around your ankle 2 or 3 times you would have enough friction to pull most your weight up with your foot. Its painfull tho.
You would need to create slack in the rope before you somehow managed to get an ankle around it. I think if your wrists are what's tied you'd almost have an easier time just climbing the rope normally, creating a ton of slack, and then locking in your position by wrapping the rope around your leg and stepping on it while it's over the laces of the leg it's wrapped around. Then you can use one arm to hold on so you don't fall and one to wiggle the knot loose. That means you gotta be able to climb a rope with no legs tho which is already hard enough for most people without their wrists bound together
Oh I see someone else came up with the conclusion, indeed by grappling your hand on a section of the rope, you stop the tension of the rope on that point, after that the rope becomes loose and free for movement as it is not being dragged by your weight, but if you did like the fat guy did, using your fat ass belly and stand on the knot the whole rope become tensed again and that's why that moron cant free himself
If you like this kind of puzzle, then you're going to *love* "aerial rope" (aka "corde lisse"). Starting with aerial silks is the "normal" route, but some schools will start beginners on rope if they want to.
My suggestion is to invert, put the rope behind one knee (a "hocks climb"), and then crunch just enough to take the tension off your wrists and release them. The inversion is the first half of a "skin the cat". And unless you've trained hamstring strength, you might want to squeeze the knee tighter with your other leg. Think along the lines of Judo's Triangle Choke.
There is a significant danger that if you watch this you will become addicted: ua-cam.com/video/N2AppGhPQQs/v-deo.html
Olivia is a straight G.
Wow so it IS doable, but you're gonna need a lot of strength and fitness (or adrenaline) to be able to do it!
yeah man its a tough one but very achievable
you're underrated man! Hope your channel can keep growing. You deserve at least a million subs!
Thanks man!
@@BenEcho Ben. You're my favorite on ninja warrior. I was devastated when Olivia fell last night on her 2nd run. All the best my friend. Cheering for ya tonight
For the two hands tied escape I wonder if some sort of dynamic/kipping attempt would work. What I mean is kip up like you are climbing a salmon ladder and try to grab the rope up higher so you can loosen the knot and get your hands free.
If can't get a good hold on the rope it would hurt your hands a lot 😬
@@ayoutubecommenter7494 if you get high enough up and then drop you would certainly dislocate your shoulders that way, which is especially likely when a full body kip hanging from your arms would throw the rope away from you and make it harder to grab on. Better to invert, lock in with your legs, pull yourself up, lock in again, and then loosen the knot around your wrists
You should try escaping handcuffs next. In front, behind the back , sometimes the mouth is being taped up or blindfold the eyes. You should also try using a safety pin instead of the key too.
I'm pretty sure with the single leg snare, if it pulled up as fast as they show in movies, about 90% of people would have at least one of their leg joints dislocated if not just completely pulled out of socket.
The snare is also more likely to be wire (at least if the "hunter" wants an effective snare).
@@dreimann right
Watching them jump down next to a slipknot was so anxiety inducing.
Okay THIS is some goddamn
C O N T E N T
I think the only way to manage the wrist situation would be to have strong and stretched fingers. A strong guitarrist who knows how to do a handstand might be able to finish this.
I know many guitarist who hanstand 😅. Actually i'm not sure i know anyone who doesn't play guitar and handstand.
Well you helped me with a solution to one my my nightmares. Now do the jumping out of a plane with no parachute.
First one has to be easy 😅😅. Olivia did it exactly the way I thought
A thinner rope and no one's gonna make it. Unless you have a knife. Always cary a pocket knife :)
Atleast, its realistic for ONCE. These days everything is scripted
"Clearly it pays to be fit"
Hmph luckily that rope probably can't handle 400+lbs of pure American mass
As an a American I say this is false the average American is lighter. Its the average wallmart shopper the weighs over 400+
@@Jilted84 good thing I never said "average" 😉
The guy from I Am Legend probably could've easily escaped, but he had the bad luck of hitting his head on the pavement on his way up. It kept him from thinking clearly, bc he obv had at least a concussion. Happened a lot faster than some of the others because the counterweight was a 3000lb car. Maybe the least unrealistic part of a zombie vampire movie.
at 3:15, brings back memories when we did doing something similar back in the army and one of the trainees got the noose around his neck as he was going down.
You should try escaping handcuffs next. In front, behind the back , sometimes the mouth is being taped up or blindfold the eyes. You should also try using a safety pin instead of the key too.
What does that have to do with being fit?
That's a very dangerous situation once you break free from the noose. If that noose were to catch a limb or worse your head on the way down.
have a go of Corde Lisse it will give you a whole new regard for rope. In fitter days was able to desend a rope inverted no hands. Circus skills are so fun and great for fitness.
Okay, but in reality, you will be yanked to the top, putting you into shock for a couple of seconds too. Possibly actually damage. 15 seconds is also more than enough time for somebody to come and permanently disable you. I think, no matter how fit you are, if you're snared, you're in big trouble.
Well, everything depends on the thickness of the rope itself. Try to climb up the rope from I,legend movie... pretty hard, since the rope was so thin - not "regular" old school western rope. It might be more deadly, when the thin rope cut into your ancles and you are not able to climb up, because it is cutting also into your fingers. But adrenaline may be helpful in this situation.
wtf random maplestory riff
I feel like if ben and the others practiced climbing up a rope upside down WITHOUT their hands tied, they could develop the technique to free from the wrist hang. But that looks f**king difficult for sure.
The power of the gingers. Impressive work, I'd certainly be a sitting/hanging duck.
Wanted to see these moments in movies tried out for YEARS! Great videos bro
Olivia clearly has a stash of Compound-V
Next video: How To Escape From A Noose: IRL
I too, wish to tell people how to escape from snares while MapleStory music plays in the background
I was looking for someone who would mention about this lol
Me, with zero body strength and who hasn't hit the gym in two months: I can totes do that
4:30 What if you keep licking your hand to slide it off?
pretty sure the rope would snap with me on it.
rope 0 - 1 me
Wait Jake can do 5 pull ups but only 10-15 push-ups. There's some serious strength imbalances there
Under pressure I could do maybe 8-10 pull up. I could do maybe 25 push-ups if I was seriously challenged. I guess my “average strength” can’t get me out of this though. Was actually frustratingly, way harder than it looks!
Okay so its impossible for normal people
Ben roasting his friends for 7 and a half minutes.
My friends and I tried these as a kid for fun. At the time, i was maybe 90 lb and climbed like a monkey. The key isn’t brute strength. Its flexibility and power to weight ratio. Like Olivia, it was much easier for me to pull 90lb up a rope than my friends to pull 130lb. Their weight on the rope was unbearable by itself. For the hands and single leg i lifted my free leg and looped my foot into the rope. Then lifted myself and looped again. Repeated until it took the tension off the loop, then used my teeth to undo the knot. For the double foot, I pulled myself all the way up to a “standing” position, looped my arm in the rope then lifted my feet to reach knot. It all hurt like hell but was doable. I wouldn’t try it now at my current age and weight. Also if you were yanked up by one leg and swinging from a trap, you wouldn’t be thinking of how to escape. You would be passed out from the dislocated femur only waking up to vomit, then pass out again from your blood not circulating.
For the one with hands tied up is tricky. You would have to climb the rope using upper body strength enough to create a slack on the rope below where your hands are holding the rope at.
With that slack then remove the hands bu pushing with your forearms like a chicken wing to open the snare and then slide out.
How would you climb the rope with your hands tied up?
@@tarpnarp using momentum on a pendulum swing, skipping to grab the rope, same style as climbing trough notches with a straight bar. Whatever technique used or However you get up is irrelevant. The most important part is to shorten the distance from where you hanging to the top of the rope. Create slack and loose your hands.
As a 50 year old that has never gone to a gym but am relatively fit and flexible, I really want to try this. I think I could do it.
Another banger! Always providing such high quality content 🙌
Thanks brother!
Step Two: no
"how realistic are those movies". Well, they aren't. By hanging upside down long enough (for example like in "i legend"), person will die of asphyxiation. Your lungs will be crushed by the weight of organs (not right away, obviously, but if you don't escape right away, well, yeah).
Olivia is so 🔥
"90% of people would not be able to escape" ---- a cheap swiss/china knife maybe ?
Also while tied by your Arms - maybe you Hop and grab the rope higher with your hands, hop again and now you're in a safe zone
So Joel was capable of easily escape instead of shooting zombies (i mean mushroom infected guys), while Ellie was trying to free him, right?
Still didn't explain the video title, HOW to escape from a rope trap. What if im not a flexible limber female, I still didn't get any more information about how to escape a rope trap. Funny examples and commentary didn't help me escape the last rope I was tied up in.
This man is really using MapleStory as his background music
Imagine do this while u step on real trap to catch ur leg and swing u left and right smashing ur head on the closest tree... I don't think is as ez how u guys and girls shows...
PS
Any trap don't use protection to Save ur rist or ankels...
Good try but u show fake attempt for me and nothing more
This is supposed to be done above a crocodile pond, right? Seriously, if i was the trap maker, there would be crocodiles.
Two scenarios for me:
1- I have a knife, cut free, live.
2- I do not have a knife; dead.
Actually I think you can solve this with brains easier the with strengh. By rythemly wiggeling to the left and right you could create a pendulum effect until ether you get to grad a ledge or wear down the rope at the point of swivel. Got to try this once I get the possibility...
I think the best way to do this would be to rope climb up to whatever is holding you and untie yourself there. You know it can hold your weight, and I can’t imagine it would be hundreds of feet off the ground or the trap would be obvious
If you manage ro grab the rope, pull yourself up amd relieve tension from your foot you could do it. Only way. Removing a knot while pressure is applied on one side of the rope is impossible for most knots
The first one is less about strength and more about flexibility strength can be used to compensate but it's not a 1-1 exchange.
Step one become calisthenic master
Step two you survived
I want to be like Olivia when i grow up! I mean, she is not only strong she also is pretty analytic and clever, total respect to the goddess!!
I would love to have been in this one to show you, that you dont need to be super fit to pull it of if you hang by your feet, it all about technic.
However it is near impossible if you hang by your hands. 🙂
There is this variable about the rope/legs drag/friction.
Imagine falling from movie-height and not getting your feet underneath you though
5 Pullups and 10-15 Pushups? What a weird Ratio
Why didn't anyone climb up and sat on the bar? That'd be my go to if I had the strength..
For the one with the hands you could maybe try kipping or smth
what about swinging? like surpassing horizontal and than snap into the pullposition?
Next video how to escape quick sand
I'm confused about the rules for the hands tied one, did you not use your hands because it was impossible to do so or because it was specifically banned to do so?
I saw the video title and thought of what Koda said in _Brother Bear:_ "The only way out is to chew your own foot off."
Well done with using a snare trap for tightening the rope 👌🏽
Eyyy! Yeah it worked well, thanks for the inspiration on this one.
Yeah my literally strategy o was like, I would try to climb up the rope 💀
Isnt it posible to climb to the top where you can sit and calmly try to untie yourself. Espetialy if the trap is on a tree like in most films.
basically don't untie the knot just go up and pull your legs out of the tie.
Ah yes, should i ever be in that situation i would die
I really need to be more careful
have to love these guys' sense of humour. their videos seem very genuine, without heavy editing
Psychopaths be sitting in their cabin in woods and watching this video.
Not me wanting to try this now... and I mean there wasn't a disclaimer sooo off to go get some rope😂
Step 1. take shoes and socks off for better grip and more options.
It pays to be fit or have a knife on you.
Ben I watch you on ninja warrior today I'm a fan
A snare to trap and hang a person upside done is rare but who ever sets one would not care about the comfort of the snare victim.
Thats all good with big rope, next level, wire🔥
What if the knot is tied tightly so that you cannot get it out like you did...you will have to untie it, that's hardest
Him “if you need to tie someone up do it by the wrists” me: thanks for that important information
Wouldn't the adrenaline allow u to be strong enough to come out of the 2 leg tie
was there a rule or something to not grab the bar at the top? because i feel like you can get out of all of them by grabbing the bar at the top
Olivia is quite a ninja. I respect speed and strength
The real thumb nail is @ 6:20 👍
10-15 push-ups amateur level? Nah.
Pocket knife, just saying.
If only Ellie had access to this video before
Bueno, ya sabemos como escapar de ña muerte jxjsod
I did not expect Maplestory BGM from your channel.. thanks for the fun vid!
With hands tied it seems you should try to untie the knot with your teeth.
How did Olivia pull her way out so fast
