[edit] World Records
On January 8th, 2005, at the Arndale Centre Manchester UK, David Straitjacket escaped from a pair of 'Hiatts Speedcuffs' rigid handcuffs, which were provided by the Greater Manchester police. His time of 7.25 seconds was a new world record, beating the existing record (set by Stuart Burrell) of 10 seconds.

[edit] Other cuffs?
I just found out about "Mckenzie Mitts" which were invented by Jacob Mckenzie; that is all I've found out about thus far. Since I can not seem to find a wiki page of them this seemed to be the best place to ask if anyone knows more information on them.
