How come you needed a handler? Sure I mean it might be a little tricky with only 4 fingers on each hand to work with, but I'm sure you could have managed it.The closest I've ever been to being locking in a fursuit was the one below. I could take the head off by myself, but the rest needed a handler. From the posts above, you can wear a fursuit in hot weather. I've done it. I wore my Cutter Cat Sabertooth fursuit with 3 inch fur outside for almost an hour when it was 95F (35C). My friend also wore his lion fursuit. It was for a church youth day. The fur actually insulates you for a time from the hot weather.
It means, the suit has a locking apparatus to it of some type. Wearer puts it on, the partner locks it, wearer is stuck in it for however long the partner decides. Or maybe locks themselves into a suit and puts the key in a time safe.
That is the Energizer Bunny. It was a paid gig for an auto show in Nashville. The reason you need a handler is that first of all, that drum is on a metal harness that hangs on the shoulders and across the chest. It is under the fursuit and is attached with hooks. The zipper is dead in the back. The handler is there for safety and for dressing and removing the suit. The suit is impossible to get into or out of solo. The vision out of the head is atrocious. The best point to look out of is the mesh in the nose, which is about the same dimensions as your index finger held out about eight inches from your face. I was the first one wearing this iteration of the suit, so I had to evaluate it. It was very comfortable to wear. The head rested on the shoulders. The metal harness would benefit from some extra padding on the metal over the shoulders, but wasn't intolerable. The feet were clunky, but that's just the character. The really bad part was that after wearing the suit for about five minutes, I realized I was running out of oxygen. There wasn't enough air exchange to keep up with what I was breathing. Fifteen minutes in suit and I would have passed out from lack of oxygen. I finally was able to wear the suit for about 40 minutes at a time by slightly lifting the head and blowing out the crack, which sucked fresh air in. I had to do this every four minutes or so when my breath rate started increasing with my body trying to get more oxygen in. I recommended an air exchange fan. My Cutter Cat Sabertooth fursuit does not have these problems, and I have worn him for up to six hours at a stretch. I was promoting the movie "Puss in Boots" at the Malco Theater dressed as a sword wielding feline in a three Musketeers hat. lol. I can easily get into and out of my sabertooth fursuit. You might find this video funny.
It's only dangerous when you have a keyholder that's a 'tard/dom/etc or your time lock safe malfunctions.
That suit doesn't need a locking zipper; there is no way you're getting out of that furry gimp suit without help.
are they... missing limbs or am i crazy?
You have to use your imagination and squint a bit. The "Gimpee" has his/her hands touching their shoulders and they're in a kneeling position, knees spread with the calves against the thighs. Doesn't look like fun to me . . .
I'm jizzing just looking at it. :V
