👉 The isolation weapon, often referred to as the "dead man's switch," is a non-lethal tool designed to incapacitate an individual by cutting off their air supply. It consists of a switch that is attached to a person's clothing or body and remains inactive until triggered. When activated, the switch rapidly cuts off the flow of air to the person's lungs, leading to asphyxiation. This device is typically used in law enforcement and security scenarios to subdue suspects without causing permanent harm, providing a humane alternative to lethal force. Its design ensures that it can be activated with minimal physical contact, reducing the risk of injury to both the victim and the responder.
