I was going to stop at three pictures but then I wanted to show the effect of the crossed ankles on this position. The crossed ankles spreads the damsels knees out wider. This flattens her pelvis against the ground. That actually pulls out more slack in the crotch rope/wrist tether. It drops her center of gravity lower and spreads her “base” wider making it more difficult for her to roll onto her side. Let me tell you, the availability of a side roll can be critical in escaping a hogtie or in just finding some relief from a hair tie imposed uncomfortable back arch. Chrissy tries repeatedly to roll onto her side and she eventually succeeds but the fact that it was challenging really speaks to the impact of the crossed ankles. 😊
