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.

Turn the other cheek

1 point ass suspension.  I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

I love how The Sinner Team mounts a camera right to the rigging.

Update:  Here’s the video..

    Second image isn’t loading for me, but did they not use a harness for this one? They normally always do.

    @tobias: It should load now. As for the harness, I think she was only a couple of feet off the ground for this one, so they didn’t use a harness.

    We used air-inflated bed, if it started to tear we could quickly throw her down before it will tear to the end and not to hit the floor. Here is the video from that camera:

    @Stanislav, thanks for the reply. I can see you in the second photo keeping a clear watch on the hook, I was just curious.

    my instant thought watching the video was “how did she sit down properly afterwards?”

    What kind of ridiculous sh*t were you smoking setting up the rigging? The fewest links are best. It looks like block & fall -> carabiner -> paw plate -> carabiner -> runner -> carabiner -> ass. That’s about 4 links too many.

    In the future, I’d recommend heading to your local yacht shop. They make shackles for sail rigging that will release under load, so if there is tearing, you can drop the individual immediately instead of lowering them

    “Rigger”:
    looks like block & fall -> carabiner -> paw plate -> carabiner -> runner -> carabiner -> ass

    in this suspension the paw plate was used only for mounting Go-Pro camera to make a good footage from the up. sometimes i mount this cameras not to paw plate, just to the block – but when you mount it to blocks and a person who suspensds starts to spin – the speed of spinning of the person and the camera are different. not very good for makeing a nice video. so this time i used paw plate not for suspension rigging – it is just a platform for camera for makeing a good footage when it is moveing the same speed as the person.

    if you want to make a good video – sometimes you should think about more things that only hooks. you should buy one GoPro – and you’ll understand what im talking about 🙂 true rigging-camera
