Zusammenfassung:A single-unit restraining system for exercising control over a subject is provided. The restraining system comprises an attachment element adapted to be removably attached around a subject and encasing a retraction mechanism configured to extend and retract a tether element. The retraction mechanism comprises a multi-spool configuration which allows spooling or coiling of the tether element into the attachment element without requiring the tether element to complete 360-degree revolutions around a vertical axis. Tension forces associated with spooling the tether element are reduced and potential harm to the subject is reduced. The restraining system is configured to detach from the subject upon detecting tension forces exceeding a threshold amount.
