How the Spring-Lock suits are possibly physically impossible to kill someone.

[Snaz]

The Springlock suits, an icon of the FNaF franchise, but, how do they work?

The Springlock suits are basically half robot half costume, so, when the robot isn't being in use, employees are allowed to wear them as a costume and walk around, to do this, they use a handcrank provided by the manufacturer, it uncoils the animatronic parts inside the suit to the sides of the suit, making enough room to get inside, to undo the suit, they unfasten the locks and they spring back into original form.

As we see in FNaF3, one of the Springlock suits that resembles a bunny like character, named Spring Bonnie, expectingly, in one of the minigames, we can see Purple Guy get killed while wearing the suit, due to the company saying that the suits are unsafe after numerous spring lock failures, he wore it anyways.


Now time for the main discussion-How can Spring Locks kill a person?

Here's the answer-They Can't

Why? Here's my reason(s)

-The handcrank has to be a reasonable size to have a good grip on, and enough to open the suit, if the crank is detachable, then you should have enough room to still get in, if not, then you can't fit in the suit

Strong reason vv

-The spring locks have to be very very close to the sides of the suit to have a human barely getting in there,this meaning if the springs went off, they would feel like a punch from a child, and let's not forget to mention how sharp the parts would have to be to kill someone, they would have to be very pointed, or sharp edges, and I don't think an animatronic would have sharp parts inside of a suit that people can wear


So basically, the suits are physically impossible to kill someone, unless the person is very thin and "short"


[EDIT: I am just stating everything I know since I have not read the novel, so I'm basically theorizing here, not everything here is 100% correct]

They might have sharp parts.

Keep in mind that this is a VERY incompetent corporation who's known for making stupid decisions.

Or, Y'know, the springlocks could be VERY strong, hence they crush someone.

There is an ENDOSKELETON in there when endoskeleton get back to its original place and there is already a guy he will pretty much be crushed

This theory goes off of the assumption that we know the exact dimensions of the springlock animatronics, which we don't. For all that we know, the animatronics are big enough to allow for there to be enough empty space between the costume shell and the animatronic mechanisms for an actual human being to slip into it when switching to suit mode. Using the minigames as a means of accuracy is a no-go as well considering that the the graphics of those sections of the game are very unreliable (most notably with "the incident" at the end of FNAF 4).

Also, in regards to there being "sharp" mechanisms within the springlock suits:

-machinery doesn't have to be necessarily sharp to kill someone. With enough force, simply getting crushed by gears and sprockets is enough to viably end a man's life.

-the novel has already explained how exactly a springlock suit kills a person [SPOILERS AHEAD]:
Once the springlocks break, two instances will occur. First, the springlocks will cut into every part of your body, including your organs, causing serious bleeding. Second, the mechanisms will attempt to move back into place, slowly crushing you to death. you will be completely aware of it for every second, knowing that you're dying and in absolute agony.
^Now before you say that the novel is an invalid source for info since Scott has clearly stated that it was not meant to solve the lore, I would like to point out that I'm not using this to solve the lore. I am simply explaining and clearing up how the mechanics of the suit works, which is perfectly fine since the novel is technically canon, but I'm not solving anything lore-wise.

Nice try, but I'm afraid that the springlocks are still capable of killing a man.

If they springs were very strong, wouldn't they be a lot thicker? Making even less room?

[Snaz]

I haven't thought about this a lot before I wrote it, so expect a lot of errors n stuff

I'm just challenging your theory. How is that "roasting?"

Okay then...

Do you know what bothers me about the suits? Parts of the endos can pass through the costume pieces as if the corporation tried making Gmod physics come to life.

"All" we know about the Springlock suits are

1)Big enough so a human can fit inside

2)The amount of force the springs have

3) Why are the locks so easily to be loose?

4) Wouldn't the company just get rid of the whole suit idea and just keep them as animatronics?

Just make a fricking chuck e cheese suit of them I don't care

1) I'm confused as to why you brought this point up. Doesn't this very point disprove you original one?

2) Doesn't this also go against you?

3) I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Though if this is supposed to be a fact, why did you make it a question?

4) Innovation is everything. The concept of a suit/animatronic hybrid is very unique, thus the inclusion of them in Fredbear's and Freddy's. It wasn't until the "multiple and simultaneous springlock failures" where they were forced to decommission them.

I'm a bit confused by this post. Please explain a bit more.

Thats for giving me a description of what a springlock failure is like!
Time to start animating...

You're welcome, I guess. Keep in mind that even if only one springlock breaks, the rest of the springlock will go off regardless. They're that fragile.

If they do crush someone, why did afton's head survive?
