Interesting solution. I wonder if it can be done really inescapably tight.
It looks like you could pull off individual coils from one wrist. It would need very tight cinching to get the tie secure, and then it might be very difficult to insert the lock.
An easier way might be to use a very soft and very thick rope, tie a double loop that both your hands just get through, then cinch with the padlock in the middle. Never tried that, it requires a few tries to get the loop right, but with just a double loop (or even a single one, if that is comfortable enough), you will need the keys. When the loop size is right, you should use glue on the knot, so you don't have an alternative escape.

Great idea, I’e been tying my wrists like this for years but never added that knot in the middle. I just tried it in front of me and my quesiton is how do you release that knot that you made between the wrists? Without the knot when I unlock the padlock and unloop the chinch i’m out, with the knot I don’t know how the release should happen (if you fiddle enough does it loosen and you get out like that?). in front of me I used my teeth to undo that knot.
Ok, I got it, I pulled it tight and added the “knot”, it was extremely restrictive, I don’t think I’d be able to wiggle out of it. Thanks. (oh and also because I’m writing this post I was able to undo it, I needed to wiggle my wrists a bit, and it came loose just as you said!)

Thanks for the tip, but although I like doing shibari, I'm not a fan of ropes in selfbondage. In fact, it very often happens that they tighten too much and create a tourniquet, which can be dangerous when you're alone.
The idea is a good one, but it would be safer with a thin chain, for example.
