how can you get your body stuck in something and not get back out the same way?

Some examples:

A ring slides on but gets stuck trying to take it back off.

A kid puts his head through metal slats on a railing, but can’t pull it back through.

A girl gets her body in a clothes dryer, but can’t get back out.

If we can fit forward, shouldn’t we be able to fit backwards, too?

It takes the same amount of force to get in and out, but the direction of the force on your body is different. Pushing your head through a grating, for example, you can put your whole body into pushing through so it won’t be a problem. But getting out you’re pulling your head *away* from your body, so you have to be more careful.
