Why do pulling something out is way harder than putting the same thing in?

Like those toddlers who get stuck in a fence or alikes. How can they put their head in but once it’s past it’s impossible to get it out again. Or even a ring, a couple of minutes after putting it in it’s harder to get it out

Have you ever seen these [screws](https://www.amazon.ca/10x50mm-Screw-Plastic-Anchor-Expansion/dp/B07N8GGX3D)?

Notice how you can compress the fins when you push it into the wall? but then getting it out results in the fin getting jammed?

Same with head or ring. When you put it in, you relax, twist, turn, and allow the object to slide through. to remove it as easily, you need to replicate the process…. in reverse. Which, unfortunately, due to the fleshy nature of our brain, we cannot replicate the exact process. which often leads to panic or brute force. which means we will likely spend much more effort in getting it out.

And also if it was easy, the human population would be in rapid decline.
