How can one break free from zip ties?

It is important to know how to break free from zip ties in the event of a robbery or home invasion. If your hands are bound behind you all you have to do is pull them back and thrust them forward against your rear end. If this is done forcefully enough, the locking mechanism on the zip tie will break. The same method can be used if your wrists are bound in front of you. In this case, you will be aiming for your lower stomach and you will want to angle your elbows outward. If done correctly, this will also disable the lock.
