The Axe Trap is a trap from the Saw franchise, appearing in The Scott Tibbs Documentary.
Design and Function[]
The axe trap was a primitive makeshift contraption. The victim's chest and legs were strapped to a chair with duct tape while their hands were taped up behind their back. Above them was a mechanism holding a metallic arm equipped with an axe blade. It could be lifted by using a nearby control panel. Upon activating it, a drill started spinning, and a rope connected to the metallic arm winded around the drill bit, raising the axe blade.
Once the game began, a timer started ticking down. The victim had to sever their fingers by shoving them into a circular saw blade behind them. When the timer went off, the rope holding the arm would be cut by automatic knives. If the victim did not free themselves in time, the axe would swing down and impale their chest, killing them.

History[]
Scott Tibbs' Self-Test[]
The axe trap was built by Scott Tibbs, the psychotic leader of the rock band Wrath of the Gods, and his friends. One day, Scott's best friend, Adam Stanheight, disappeared mysteriously. Scott eventually concluded that Adam was likely dead and suspected a wanted serial killer known as Jigsaw behind the crime. Therefore, he and his fellow band members decided to film a documentary to learn more about the killer.
While they managed to gain some information about Jigsaw, the documentary quickly came to a standstill as Scott became obsessed with the killer and started harassing people who refused to grant him interviews. This repeated rejection angered Scott and caused him to make a fatal decision. He wanted to test himself to prove that Jigsaw was correct and that surviving his games would make his victims appreciate their lives.
Scott severs his fingers.
Alongside his friends, Scott built the axe trap on his own. After testing the mechanism, Scott told his friends to duct-tape him. However, after doing so, they gagged him and left the room. Therefore, Scott started to panic. He freed his hands but was still held back by the tape around his chest. He yelled at his friends and threatened them in fear and anger. As they took the camera with them when they left the room, it remained unknown whether Scott survived his trap. (The Scott Tibbs Documentary)
