10 Most Disturbing Saw Movie Traps

7. The Rack (Saw IV)

Saw trap

This trap is the original Jigsaw's favorite, and for good reason.

The perp in a hit and run who escaped justice is strapped to a device which will rotate his limbs, and then his head, 180 degrees, breaking them one by one. His only hope for salvation is for Jeff, the father of the boy he killed, to get the key to the device from the trigger of a shotgun.

And he does! It costs him the death of a judge he'd previously rescued, but Jeff manages to get the key, but too late; the victim's limbs have already been twisted to the point where even if he survived, he'd need immediate medical attention, but Jeff can't get off the device in time.

A lot of Jigsaw's traps kill quickly, and this isn't one of them. The victim dies slowly, and agonizingly, and knowing the only person who can save him has more reason to want him to die than anyone.
