Back when I was 19, I did my social "year". In Austria, every guy has to, after turning 18 and being done with school, either serve 6 months in the military, or 9 months in some social service organization. I worked at the Red Cross. It started with a theoretical course, in which we also covered this blue air-matraze thingy from your third picture. And, lucky me, I was chosen from the instructor to demonstrate it. I think I was basically prepared like in the picture, and also used to show, that the straps held you, even if the whole thing was turned upside down in midair. Again, I think, it's nearly 20 years ago.
Not as strict as I would have preferred, but it was a fun, little moment. I did enjoy being restricted for a bit.
I never thought much about this type of bondage, but I do like what I see. Looks close enough to mummification, so yeah, that's always fun. Oh, I can't find it at the moment, but there is a scene from a movie on youtube. I think a college student just falls unconscious, having found some secret. The scene changes to the next day, where a professor/dekan(?) talks to the police. Don't remember details, just that the student is now strapped to that mobile bed the Red Cross cars have, gagged with some mask. He tries to get out, screams into his gag, while brought away.
Not quite as intense, as is intended in this thread, I think, but essentially the same way of being tied and gagged. I'll share the video, when I find it.

I could never get into Babylon 5 (I tried several times). I'm a die-hard fan of the show many claim the original premise was ripped off of B5, though (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).
Just in case, did you ever try to start Babylon 5 in season 2? I assume you did, considering you tried multiple times, but some people seem to have started that way, and liked it way more. While I love the first season (and the show as a whole), it is a rather slow start.
I also like DS9 quite a lot. Afaik, they were created too close together, for DS9 to rip of B5. I think it was just a coincidence. Doesn't matter anyway, pretty different shows in execution, both very good.
