I didn't look like it snapped really fast and was too easy to open up. I'm betting it had a very light spring in it.

You wouldn’t do it on the original New house bear trap I have unless you wanted lose your arm.

A 200lb man can stand on one of the springs and not move it downwards.

My dad use them to trap bears back in the 40’s and 50s powerful traps for sure.
