According to escape artists, here's how you slip handcuffs from behind over your head (don't try this at home): First, push the left arm as far to the right as possible, or dislocate the shoulder altogether. Rotate the right wrist clockwise within the handcuff until the inside of the wrist faces outward, then bring up the right wrist as if in a bicep curl; the left arm will be tugged upward at the same time. Next, the right arm moves up, scraping up the shoulder blade, until both hands are basically behind the neck and the right elbow points up above your head. Then, tucking your chin into the chest, bring the crook of your right arm over your head. To finish the maneuver, pop the handcuffs around the left forearm, dislocate the left shoulder (if you haven't already), and bring the left arm down in front. (Here's a slow-motion video of the whole thing.) During a murder trial in Australia a few years ago, a woman who had been abducted demonstrated to the jury in a couple of seconds how she made her escape by executing this maneuver. Some real life Gumbys can do this without bending their arms.

hmmm...unless you have an extremely large arse, why not just slide them down the back of your legs and under your feet?
Good question????????
Arms may be too short to do that.

Some reports said she was shackled to the table.
Must be a Darwinian thing.

As others have said...just step over ‘em.
Even the very large a$$ed can do it . There is much more to the death of this unfortunate woman yet to be learned .
Harry Houdinin is doing charleston in his grave! Man it’s so easy to get out of handcuffs!
Some reports said she was shackled to the table.
[I only know what I see on “Homicide: Life on the Streets”].
It was done a lot there.
While shackled to the table?
One less post-modern post-feminist female. What’s to mourn?
Harry could do it inside a box under water!
In this day and age, she’s lucky she was allowed to kill herself, instead of just getting shot dead right at the gate. She apparently had a loud “conflict” with gate attendants after they declined her demand to be allowed to board the plane after the doors had been closed. Dissatisfied with being booked on the next flight, she ran screaming up and down the terminal. If her wealthy family cares about her so much, why was this out-of-control alcoholic left to get herself to a distant alcohol treatment without anyone accompanying her?
Apparently, she took out her cell phone and began attacking people with it before destroying it.
So far, no one has come forward saying she was an innocent victim. So far ...
Bookmarked in case of future need, hehehe.
