Abstract: Disclosed herein is a restraint comprising a buckle (200) configured to secure a latch (120) when said latch (120) is engaged with said buckle (200). The restraint also comprises complementary locks (280a, 280b) associated with said buckle (200) that are configured to prevent release of said latch (120) from engagement with said buckle (200) in a first position and to allow release of said latch from engagement with said buckle in a second position. The restraint further comprises an electro-magnet (385) associated with said buckle (200) and said locks (280a, 280b), said electro-magnet (385) being configured to prevent said locks (280a, 280b) from being moved from said second position when said electro-magnet (385) is in a first state and to allow said locks (280a, 280b) to be moved in a second state, said first state being determined through activation of a remote activator (530).
