I've gotten out of plastic cuffs more than a dozen times, usually just handing them to the cops and smiling when they go to cut them, but never metal ones. When I'm handcuffed with metal cuffs, I stay handcuffed.

Metal don't stretch very easily, in my experience.

And my wrists don't shrink, either.

Go Jane!
