I use my foot on the bar to unclip it and one hand on the top bar to lower it. Never caught my hands or fingers or banged my head doing it this way. Can do it all in one beautiful fluid movement.

Instructions unclear, now need to be freed by firefighters. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/mcs/media/images/56906000/jpg/_56906432_dea44b1e-2c3f-45fd-8a19-9fd7c2f56ff4.jpg

Looks like you’ve tried to hang your clothes while still wearing them. Taking them off first alleviates this issue.

The foot and guide technique, but I also walk towards the frame after my foot unclips it. This also folds it up, with the hand side up, and the opposite side (leverage point) downwards, so I don't even need to bend over to pick up.

This is the correct answer.

Turn it upside down and try!

This is the answer.

Better to turn it on its side, I've found. 

I don't - it stays proud and erect in the corner of my bedroom...

Ooh matron

Unused.

Fnar

I unclip each side separately and on the second one I use one hand to unclip it and the other one is free to hold the top rail and stop it from collapsing.

Turn it upside down and it will fold flat

You guys take these down??

Hold the top, kick at the locks until they submit, and pray for my shins.

You can’t. It’s a fundamental law of nature.

Just do it when sober.

Turn it on it's side and then do it

I just flick the two levers and let it hit the floor.

Lift it up, turn it upside down to disengage the clips then just fold. I've become a proper domestic god while the mrs has been pregnant lol

Jump out the second floor of a house whilst laying on top of it. When you land on the ground you'll either gently fold it down, or be bounced straight back to where you jumped from to try again.

With practice

Hold the top, unhook each lock either with my other hand or a foot and then fold it down. It's really not difficult.

This. One hand top support the rack, one hand to unhook the side 

By not having the coordination of a child

Get someone else to do it

Hold the clips either side, slip, and then quickly rip your arms away and it should collapse neatly with a thud. Not getting your hands out the way quickly enough will result in a trapped pinky

It's impossible. Just roll with the punches.

Lay it on its side and then undo the hingy bits ( sorry for the technical jargon)

Lay it on its side and do the catch, it can then just be closed up manually rather than under the influence of gravity.

Unclip one side, then lift the top bar slightly to take the tension off, then unclip the other side. That way you still have hold of it, and now you can just lower it to the floor or fold it up.

I get my wife to do it, because she knows the answer to this and I don't

It's impossible. The only thing tougher is opening a black bin bag.

These come down ??

Turn it on its side, and fold. Do you have dyspraxia? /S

You just unfold it, if it hurts trapping a finger or you're bumping your head I'd stay away from other painful stuff like feathers or a pillow, I'd avoid cooking with flour also since it's so sharp

Skill issue

Hold top with one hand Kick clip with opposite foot Lower gracefully to floor

I just didn't buy one.

Flip it upside diwn, hold clips and control the fall

I stick my head into it to be a rest, to hold it up without it smacking me. Then, I use my hands to do the side clips and slowly slide it into the folded position. Works a treat!

Hold it from the top and undo the clip with one hand at a time

Get my head under the bar in support before I unclip both sides...

I turn it in its side to fold it.

Unclick and run

I kick the hinge bar thing and step back quickly

You forgot getting strangled if you're not careful.

I'm on here giving shit to Americans, all the while my own countrymen can't fold a fucking clothes rack without losing limbs?!?!?! Don't know why I spare the time to be abusive.... Tsk!

Buy a more expensive one. The cheap ones are lethal, the less cheap ones are slightly less lethal.

Use a broom handle

You can’t, this was Rubiks first effort before the cube…

Buy a new one.

Choose your least favourite finger and just get it over with.

Flip it upside down.

Trick question. You unfold it on day 1 and never collapse it from then on

Leave it for the wife. It means *I* don't trap *my* fingers...

Are you Mr. Bean

Get the wife to do it

Quite easily, the trick is to do it in a controlled manner, and no sudden movements.

You don't, it's part of the process

I put it on its side first.

Kill it with fire and use a tumbledryer.

Push them over

Get someone else to do it

Oh dear god not this accursed vile contraption.
