[Toddteded]

Welcome to Bound Anna, Todd. I would use safety scissors like paramedics use for your emergency rope release as opposed to a knife. Your ability to safely operate a knife may be compromised by having bound wrists, sore joints from being awkwardly tied, or losing circulation.
Members here are very knowledgeable and friendly, but anyone you already know could make a better back up than a stranger. Untying knots and unlocking locks is not too difficult for most people. Maybe choose a reliable person in your circle who is least likely to judge, shame or even blackmail you.

Welcome Toddteded.
Due to the corona measures, we are no longer allowed to travel abroad from Belgium.
If necessary, take a second or third backup, such as the connection with your hands via an ice lock. Can be just a cloth with ice in it that prevents the cloth from going through a ring.
With spread eagle on your back, I'm not much in favor of a gag. This will create extra saliva with the risk of choking.

I second the ice lock idea. Just make sure the ring is one piece and there is no chance of anything else catching on the ring.
Another good idea would be a door lock electromagnet connected to a suitable (3-4 AH) 12v SLA battery. Once the battery dies, the electromagnet cannot hold on anymore.
