Careful when doing this. We used to do this all the time in the gym and a band snapped and just about broke a couple of my fingers. Within seconds my index finger was HUGE and full of blood. The force shot blood all the way in to the palm of my hand. Luckily, it didn't break anything and I didn't have a bout scheduled so I was able to heal but it sucked and could have been really bad.
Ouch! I'll keep that in mind.

I was thinking about rigging up something with a quick release string that could be pulled rather than having to have anything wrapped around fingers or hands - I'm not an engineer and yet to suss it out though!

Luckily My bro and his fiance are both engineers so I might have to go and pester them
