## Abstract

A restraint system includes a first handle and a second handle. A sling element is connected at a first edge to the first handle and at a second edge to the second handle and includes a webbed material.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A restraint system comprising:
a first handle and a second handle; and
a sling element connected at a first edge to the first handle and at a second edge to the second handle, the sling element comprising a webbed material.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The restraint system of claim 1, wherein the sling element further comprises a first non-webbed section connected to the first handle and the webbed material.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The restraint system of claim 2, wherein the sling element further comprises a second non-webbed section connected to the second handle and the webbed material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The restraint system of claim 1, wherein the sling element comprises an outer face and an inner face.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The restraint system of claim 4, wherein the sling element inner face comprises a pouch securement area comprising a first securement area and a second securement area.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The restraint system of claim 5, further comprising a pouch fixed to the pouch securement area.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The restraint system of claim 6, wherein the pouch comprises:
a first securement portion;
a second securement portion, wherein each of the first securement portion and the second securement portion comprise an outer face and an inner face; and
a fold located between the first securement portion and the second securement portion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The restraint system of claim 7, wherein the outer face of the first securement portion is connected to the first securement area and wherein the outer face of the second securement portion is connected to the second securement area.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The restraint system of claim 8, wherein the inner face of the first securement portion and the inner face of the second securement portion are adapted to be connected to each other when the restraint system is in a stored position and disconnected from each other when the restraint system is in a deployed position.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The restraint system of claim 9, wherein the pouch is adapted to receive a distraction element, wherein the distraction element is adapted to be discharged from the pouch when the restraint system is in the deployed position.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The restraint system of claim 10, wherein the distraction element comprises at least one of glitter, frag, and powder.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The restraint system of claim 9, wherein when in the deployed position, the sling element is taut between the first handle and the second handle.

### Claim 13 (depends on 4)

The restraint system of claim 4, further comprising a third handle connected to the sling element outer face.

### Claim 14 (depends on 4)

The restraint system of claim 4, wherein the sling element outer face comprises at least one accessory fixture.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The restraint system of claim 14, wherein the accessory fixture comprises at least one of a snap connection, a pocket, an elastic element, and a loop.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The restraint system of claim 1, further comprising a connecting element proximate the first handle, wherein the connecting element is adapted to connect the restraint system to a second restraint system.

### Claim 17

A method of deploying a restraint system comprising a first handle, a second handle, and a sling element strung between the first handle and the second handle, the method comprising:
pulling the first handle in a direction substantially away from the second handle, such that the sling element is made taut between the first handle and the second handle.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, wherein the first handle is grasped by a first user and the second handle is grasped by a second user.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, wherein the restraint system automatically discharges a distraction element as the sling element is made taut.

### Claim 20 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, further comprising wrapping the restraint system around at least one target.
