bear traps
Steel-jawed wildlife catchers
Bear traps are steel-jawed devices that clamp shut when stepped on, used to capture bears and other large animals.
The mechanism has become a metaphor for any hidden danger that snaps closed on the unwary: The contract was full of bear traps.
In finance, a bear trap is a false signal suggesting a declining market will continue falling, luring investors to sell before prices rebound.
