The most common of these being couples who are using hand cuff and find either they have lost the key or it doesn't work. Other accidents such as the toaster incident they warn are much more dangerous and , when involving electricity there is always the risk for electrocution.

The book Fifty Shades of Gray has been speculated to brought this sort of fetish like behavior into the spotlight. The police chief speculates it could serve as a gateway drug with a rippling effect, causing common sense to often go out the window.
