I find this kind of thing fascinating. In the BDSM rope bondage world there is a lot of ceremony and almost theatrics about safety. But there's actually no real safety, because the participants keep doing things everyone knows is unsafe. The Takate Kote tie is probably responsible for 80% of nerve impingement damage in rope bondage, yet it's wildly popular because people find it pleasing and they keep coming up with new variations on it. Every time you bring up its danger, people like to shout you down like you're over-reacting and they're sick of hearing from you, and then they go give some poor newbie wrist drop.
