01

TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—bread cutter uses collar leverage in unusual way

02

Release immediately; the mechanical leverage makes this surprisingly effective

03

Apply pressure gradually; the cutting action can create non-standard warning signs

04

Partner communication is important as sensation may differ from standard collar chokes

05

Protect the neck from lateral pressure by communicating early about comfort
