Escapology? How YOU can escape stuff...
What is escapology and how can I do it?
A rush of adrenalin washes over you as the clock ticks. You have 30 seconds to escape, can you do it?
Escapology is the practice of escaping from restraints or other traps. Escapologists (also classified as escape artists) escape from handcuffs, straitjackets, cages, coffins, steel boxes, barrels, bags, burning buildings, fish-tanks, and other perils, often in combination.
This practice can be a dedicated job for escape artists and, alternatively, a fun thing for groups to do.
