Are Springlocks Dangerous?

So I've always wondered if spring locks could genuinely hurt. To test this out I did what any normal person would do and decided to build my own which definitely can be classified as dangerous. I guess the Fnaf was the friends we made along the way.

Like and subsribe if u wanna see more of this saturated content !
(all support is greatly appreciated)

If you would like me to build or do anything else let me know in the comments below, Would love to hear


-p.s if any one does repost this go for it I think it would be funny 🦀

It'd be interesting to see a springlock suit tested on a ballistic dummy

The worst part is that this implies that Afton’s ‘death’ was not quick, but rather slow and drawn out.

The danger of the situation was that it wasn't just the springlocks, but also the animatronic parts being held in place by said springlocks. When the springlocks failed, not only did they stab through William, but then the animatronic parts sprung into their usual place, ultimately crushing and mutilating almost all of his body

"Are Springlocks Dangerous?" My dude-- there was like a whole videogame saga explaining why they ARE.

Now make a full wearable springlock suit (Edit: CHAT HE ACTUALLY DID IT)

[joshuamaruffi]

I love how all the problems of the springlock suit could have been fixed if you reverse the springs from the “push apart” kind to the “pull in” kind. Then the suits could have been wound up to turn into the animatronic, and would snap into the suit mode. Would have solved every problem, and a “springlock failure” would just mean the animatronic accidentally snaps into a suit.

Now imagine those things being held together by a system where you have to wind it up with a crank to retract them and lock them in place. Suddenly this is making more sense with how dangerous it is, especially if the springlocks are a non-standard design.

I love how this is accurate to the idea that if it doesn’t go off, you shouldn’t struggle or you’ll make it worse. It also goes with the thought that the springlocks aren’t what kills you…


*you drowning in your own blood will…*

[turbkeysamdwich]

This is cool, but you’re initial test was flawed. When the springlock is inside a suit, there is a barrier (the suit) preventing the springlock from being pushed away from the suit wearer so instead, it goes inside the suit wearer, but when you’re just holding it, the springlock gets pushed back because nothing solid is holding it in place. (The second test was much more accurate.

[beaustu]

this guy should build a springbonnie suit (that has springlocks) and test it on a mannequin.

[yespizzagreat]

The reason a spring lock suit would kill you isnt because of the speed, its because of the space there is in the suit,
The locks have a goal which is to push into a *Certain* spot in the suit but the people inside the suit take up all the room which in that case the locks will penetrate your skin to get to its certain spot

[marcosgonzalez]

The books portrayed this in a more realistic way, because you can survive to them if you're lucky

But now imagine, you can die in hours or even days in those suits

[davidvvn]

The springlocks being dangerous was actually always the most believable part of the entire "killer animatronic" theme FNAF has. The sheer forces involved in every other way they hurt anyone defies basic logic and engineering: Freddy can bite down with the force of a fully grown crocodile, and has a mouth that can withstand that force, and somehow no one notices or cares until it's too late? And the mechanics to fit all this force fit inside a suit with a human in it, too?

But the springlocks themselves being dangerous are a different story, since it's really just a springloaded Iron Maiden disguised as a dual robot/body suit combo. Still a stretch but at least one that could exist.

[ygorschuma]

The movie did a pretty realistic and surprisingly not graphic version of the Springlocks, the problem is not the springs themselves, but the animatronic parts moving back to where they should be. As for William dying it was also very realistic, he was being punctured, torso first, people who get stabbed rarely if not at all scream, and on his case, his lungs were being punctured, he would immediately go into shock, in the movie if anything made his death somewhat creepier, with his body shaking and struggling to move, and you can hear his muffled screaming as Foxy drags him, and moaning in agony when G.Freddy kid locks him in the back room.

His body wouldn't become the mutilated mess like Scott portrayed his model (although Scott does a terrible job at doing human anatomy so it doesn't help either), but if anything in reality it would be ALOT bloodier than it was in the movie.

At first I thought the bottle test was quite, interesting, but not the best example
But then I was utterly terrified watching it lose tons of blood

[escargooncominatya]

1:53 it's literally a water bottle yet i still cringed when he tried to pull it out

[dylan-fnaf]

Somehow this makes the springlock suit concept even more terrifying...
Cool video 👍

[PFearr]

Pretty sure someone made a game series showing us why we shouldn’t do this.





Can you make a wearable spring lock suit?

[issacastd]

it depends on the springs your using because they say the springs have ALOT OF TENSION thats why it easily to happen also i like your example

[penguinmaster]

the primary danger in the springlock suits was the sharp animatronic mechanisms that were compressed to the sides of the suit. the springlocks alone would likely only cause puncture wounds, but when you add in the compression of animatronic parts crushing in from multiple directions, then you have a system capable of a slow, painful, drawn-out death.
