For those of you not familiar with The Sinner Team out of Moscow, they’re a suspension team that is continually trying to push the envelope of what can be accomplished through suspensions. They’ve recently sent in photos from a number of different suspensions, so expect to see them pop up over the next little bit.
As for today, we’re going to take a look at a couple of their recent tandem suspensions. To start with, we have what appears to be a tandem superman suspension, although the placement of the three hooks on the lower suspension leads me to believe that it’s called something else.
There’s another photo after the break, as well as a video from one of the Sinner Team’s most dangerous suspensions.
Next up is a triple suspension, primarily consisting of suicide suspensions, but with added knees for the middle suspendee.
Finally there’s a video that has been making the rounds for a little while now, featuring an extremely dangerous suspension. Before watching it, please keep in mind that this is NOT a typical set up, and the level of risk involved is astronomical.
As with all suspensions, these are not something to be attempted without the supervision of a team of experienced practitioners. Even then, there is always room for improvement, which is why the suspension community hosts Suscons all over, to keep practitioners up to date in all the latest developments in practicing safe suspensions.

That by far, is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen

Creative and nice to look at, but from a technical/health standpoint, seems like a bad idea to not have barriers between eachother in terms of blood exposure from one another.

The freefall actually looks rather safe, he’s wearing a backup harness.

I should recheck, but from what I remember, the harness is connect to the same block so there is multiple SPOF’s “single points of failure”. There is not nearly enough redundancy, especially considering more redundancy could be added quite easily.
This is not a static suspension, with the forces and the angles of those forces involved, he could slip out of that harness (if the suspension rigging were to fail in some way, but not the harness rigging).
They seem to have the the impact force (handy graph here http://www.suspension.org/hooklife/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/stopping-distance-small.jpg ) worked out fine here, but if someone were to it mess up not only could the hooks rip through the skin (which shouldn’t be a huge deal in itself) but the harness could do some serious damage to the pelvis and back or the rigging could all out fail and let them plummet.
There also seem to be some hygiene/cross contamination issues, this is relatively minor.
I am not condemning them for this, But this is not safe. No, not safe at all.
I do have respect for them for pulling this off. It is pretty impressive.

OMG the whole first 30 seconds of the video my jaw was dropped!
That had to be the most incredible feeling in the world.
