Handcuffs are specifically made for cuffing hands whereas tape is made to hold stuff together. If injuries are a concern, there are also medical-grade restraints that are less dangerous than metal handcuffs.

Good points. Are there different kinds of handcuffs? I’m under the impression they’re designed to bind one forearm to the other, rather than bind a forearm to immovable object. Zip ties while used for temporary restraint by LEOs has weaknesses but medical restraints seem reasonable.
