Legend has it, when Siberian prison guards wanted to transport criminals to jail, they bound their wrists in what is known as the Siberian prison transport restraints. The prisoners were linked together and drawn by horses, forced to walk barefoot through rocky canyons and over crude roads.
But when the guards didn’t want prisoners to go anywhere at all, they combined the wrist restraints with ankle chains. Guilty or not, the prisoner was stuck where the guards wanted them to stay.
Often, the prisoners were locked to a pyre ring in the courtyard and set on fire. The burnt chains, hardened from fire and tested by pain, would be used on the next prisoner. And the next. And the next.
The Old World Ankle Chain attaches to The Old World Siberian Chain Escape, re-creating that “stay put and die” setup. An industrial-strength steel chain, solid steel rings, and a quick-connect link charcoal-fired and gas-torched to look every bit as mean as the original. Real steel. Real strong. You still escape in seconds!
- Get out FAST! Get back in FAST!
- Dead-serious feat of enormous danger…
- or a hilarious comedy routine!
- Five-Year Workmanship Warranty!
