A yoga instructor named Choi Gap-Bok carried out an escape as unusual as it was shocking in October 2022, at a prison in Italy.
The man, who was serving a sentence, managed to escape by taking advantage of his extreme flexibility: he contorted his body and squeezed through the bars of his cell, something that seemed impossible.
After getting out, he tried to flee the facility, but his escape didn’t last long, as he was recaptured by authorities shortly after. The case drew attention due to the unusual method, sparking debate about prison security measures and how even unique abilities can be used to escape.
