Wanted to post the same thing.

A trained person can get out of most of the Aikido pins, but if the pin is done correctly, it takes too long to get out of, assuming the time is used by Tori to draw his own weapon and cuts.

Dear Amir,
Having been pinned in ikkyo, nikkyo, sankyo by very senior Shihan your assertion that you can escape easily from a pin is incorrect.If the pin[especially Sankyo ] is applied correctly and
with power the likely outcome of this would be uke tapping out .When pinning with ikkyo , you have to ensure ukes arm is at the correct angle[slightly above shoulder level], strong pressure must be exerted on elbow joint and you as Tori have to maintain Zanshiin to take steps to vary the hold depending on reaction of uke.No reason why you cannot hold elbow with one hand and apply atemi on ukes neck for example.Hold the head in place and the guy has trouble moving.In Judo for example to pin a man you control, onne arm , head and hips.
