BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

178 Hook Suspension… world record?

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I regularly see 30+ hook suspensions using small gauge hooks in the SM community, but in terms of upper limit world-record type stuff (as in numebr of hooks used in a suspension), I think Cali (assisted by Ascension and Birde-Mann) is the current winner with this 178 hook superman suspension.

    I like to see that someone is able to control the mind over the body, and so much more,SERIOUSLY, it’s blowing my mind away. I’ have been doing it only 3 time yet but I know that this tribal urban ritual is well and alive. Thank you for your kindness, real connection with yourself…
