If you look closely, that’s a lever knot, which is non-cinching. And given the fact that that the human neck can actually support about 2x your body weight hanging below (assuming not obese)… this seems like a reasonably useful safety device.
Just because it's non-cinching doesn't mean it can't restrict airflow and circulation. Not to mention the suspension trauma even if somehow there wasn't strangulation or and internal decapitation or c1/c2 fracture or the many many other problems that come with having so important a body part on a mobile joint. I can't imagine it being good if someone passed out in this position.
I would file this soundly under B for Bad Idea.
considering how easy it is to make a swiss seat... this is definitely a bad idea.
(albeit swiss seats... are incredibly uncomfortable, if you're not using webbing...)
I’d just tie it to my nuts but I’m into some pretty freaky shit.
Probably slightly safer than what he's doing as a bonus too 😂
It was meant to be a joke, but idk how to do spoilers on lemmy to hike a /jk
Oh thank god. I was hoping it was a joke but wanted to speak up in case anyone decided to repeat it without fact checking.
Damn! I already threw away my safety harness!
