01
TAP URGENCY: URGENT—blood choke that can cause unconsciousness in seconds; tap early
02
Blood choke—release the instant the partner taps; do not wait for breathing distress
03
Ensure partner arm remains in good circulation despite being trapped
04
The trapped arm makes this tighter and can limit the partner's ability to signal—watch for non-verbal taps
05
Talk through positioning before applying pressure to ensure partner comfort
