Self-arrest is a mountaineering related maneuver in which a climber that has fallen and is sliding down a snow or ice slope arrests (stops) the slide by himself without recourse to a rope or other belay system.

Self-arrest can be performed by using an ice axe or by using the climber's hands, feet, knees and elbows. Self-arrest with an ice axe is a difficult maneuver, but without it the probability of effectively arresting a fall is greatly diminished
We went up in the mountains today to practice our self-arrest technique.

A legal document you may issue for the purpose of placing yourself under arrest and judging yourself not fit for any public duty. This places you in the custody of a private authority not subject to federal oversite. This measure should be taken when a lawless society is created by Democratic Crime Reduction.
The Government offered me a public office position so I could have the same immunities as they do and screw people over without repercussions, but I have been deemed unfit for public duty. I am in the custody of my creator who helped me execute a Self Arrest Warrant.
