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.

6-point Limb Superman

Ben (Future Skin, Ottawa) was wondering if this 6-point calf and arm suspension he did is the first of it’s kind… He hadn’t seen it before, so he gave it a shot.

    not sure how they would fall out, but still…ouch…

    Iam Satans Love Child did a suspension very similar to that around 18 months ago. Although instead of calf hooks she had knee hooks, which made her face up not down.
    Basically a knee and elbow suspension combined. It was named the ‘Dead Cat’.

    #7 – I think he was just giving him a little push to gain a bit of momentum to swing. In the rest of the photos if anyone is near any blood or hooks, they’re all wearing gloves. this shot just looks bad, but he’s not really touching anything near the hooks.
