//03Safety notes
01

Tap immediately when ankle pressure begins - prone position eliminates escape options.

02

Prone position increases control; tap earlier than supine ankle lock variations.

03

Never roll defensively toward trapped leg - tightens control and increases damage.

04

Apply pressure slowly - increased control demands heightened attention to tap signals.

05

Do not attempt to roll through to supine - maintain position awareness above all.
