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.

    Partly my fault! – The submission said it was a chest suspension and I was doing lots of other things at the time. I should have noticed the hooks were not even close to being large gauge enough for a chest suspension 😛

    But yeah.. Oops!
