"Oh no! You cut off your own arm?!"
That's right... the SAW movies. All the traps Jigsaw designed can be escaped without actually causing major harm. It's messed up knowing this while watching it. If you ever find yourself playing a "game", remember to think logically.
Let's start with the traps.
1. Your foot is chained to a wall, you only have a hacksaw and some nearby toilets... then you're told to escape. Guess what? You don't need to cut the foot off! And why did the guy cut ABOVE the shackle anyways? If it couldn't be escaped, cut the foot and not the leg... duh. All right, then we saw the guy smash his foot with the back of the toilet and all I could think was, why didn't you use it to hit the wall where the chain is nailed in? Smash the tiles and walk away with the chain in your hand. Easy.
2. Do you remember the trap where the girl reached up into a trap to grab the needle and put both hands through? If she had kept one, she could have used it to open the other blades and used the needle to fight the toxins in her body. So, before you put your arms in anything, stop andf think it out!
3. The 10-pints of blood trap- They had to fill a beacon with blood inside a trap or they would be locked in there forever. Well, guess what? You can puke, pee, throw clothes in, anything. It doesn't HAVE to be blood.
4. The Scale Trap- Whatever weighs the most will survive. Guess what? You have shoes, clothes, you can cut the table, you don't need to cut off your arm. Silly people. Let the other person chop off their arm, your average boot wears more than that skinny person's arm anyways!
5. Hair trap- Tell him where the knife is and you can get a hair cut. Simple.
I don't understand why they hurt themselves when they could easily outsmart Jigsaw. It's not even difficult to do. But to avoid being tortured, just appreciate your life.
Now let's get to the funny aspects and leave that grim stuff alone for now...
When you get chained and you are completely alone, guess what? Calling for help doesn't do much but waste your energy. It's not like Jigsaw's going to be like, "Oh? You need help? All right, I'll take away the traps I dedicated my life to to set you free without testing you." So, don't scream.
When you have someone else in the trap with you, remember, they want to live and they are equally as desperate as you are. So... don't trust them to help you too much. They will set off the trigger and you will have a minute to do anything. Be calm, let them know you want to work together and the second they look away, get ready to be betrayed.
When you hear the trap, don't talk over it, just listen to the words carefully, there are some nifty clues you can use later on in it. Also, time limits are only time limits if he says, "The device on your head will snap shut in 60 seconds" in trials, the time is more like suggestions for you to review your behavioral patterns. So don't rush and end up opening the door making your partner's head explode... all right?
Never use drugs or you are an easy catch for Jigsaw. So, before smoking, think about volunteering instead. Until the traps are over for at least two years, do everything you can to make the best of your life... according to Jigsaw's standards.
If you committed a crime, go to the police and ask to hang out with them all the time.
