While I was searching for images for my post on sensory deprivation I came across this very sad post on the death of a leading kink engineer. It’s a very clear example of the dangers of attempting to do BDSM activites alone. By all accounts Matt was a very smart guy and an expert in his field, but even that didn’t save him. There’s a degree of danger to all BDSM activities, but attempting them solo magnifies the risk massively. Just don’t do it.
I’ve never played with a vacbed from Kink Engineering, but I’ve heard a lot of great things about the quality of their product and their attention to detail. The company was founded by Matt and his partner Archean, and it seems she has done a great job in taking the company forward despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Having read through her posts I’m personally in awe of how well she’s dealt with such an awful situation. If you’re a latex or vacbed lover, they sound like a great company to deal with.
The shots below feature a beautiful vacbed from Kink Engineering. You can also see a short video clip of the bed in action here.
Hi paltego,
Really sad. I know firsthand how obsessions can place one at risk.
Best,

Hey scott.
Yes – when the adrenalin and hormones are rising, and an obsession lurks, then common sense can go out the window. Hopefully by publicizing these tragedies there’s a chance to make people think twice.
