Hung by yoour wrists

Postby NaughtyNats » Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:22 am

I have always thought it would be fun to be suspended by my wrists (feet clear of the ground, kicking as my toes try to rst on something) but I'm sure it would hurt like hell after a few seconds. has anyone had experience of being hung by their wrists, not just tied standing with hands over your head but actually stretched and hanging by your wrists, or ankles?

That's only with the hands behind can it do that.

Still, I'd imagine even hands 'in front' above you would hurt, but no experience to say so either way.

It hurts like hell. Because the weight of your entire body is pulling down and the rope is pulling together so your wrists and dislocate and if your elbows are restrained, even break your radius and/or humerus.

If the rope was strong enough to hold and didn't break, it would probably at the very least dislocate your wrists. And I'd guess that's the best-case scenario.

I wouldn't recommend it. You can do a first test easily however- just find a suitable bar, branch of a tree or whatever...and hang on it with just your hands :) See how long you can hang that way (I reckon it will be only some minutes) before things start to hurt.
And now imagine...it's worse when you are not using your hands but the binds are around the wrists.

Usually, any suspension bondage (without ground contact) uses supportive bindings at the torso and/or legs. So, if your desire is to kick air- a good roping at your torso (in addition to the wrists) plus a good distribution of weight among the bounds will do the trick.
Else, if you really want to be raised just at the wrist- let someone do it to you just for a few seconds.

When I was young, 15 or 20 years ago, I used to hang myself by the wrists (of course not in strappado style :roll: ).

It was very painful for the wrists! I do not remember that it was hurting any other part of my body.

But after some tests, I began protecting my wrists by wrapping thick socks around them, before tying my hands. That helped me support the pain for about... 5 to 10 minutes only.

I also tried self wrist hangings (frontward and overhead, not strappado) and had it done to me by my friends (my idea) when I was in my teens. I was a fairly heavy but also reasonably strong boy, and I can tell you from personal experience that without a lot of protection the pain in your wrists becomes unbearable VERY quickly! Even with the best protection we could think of (thick, wide leather wrist guards) it became very painful all too quickly and caused deep rope marks, redness, and painful swelling before very long. Hanging by your wrists sounds like a lot of fun to the inexperienced or in stories, but the reality is quite different.
It is, quite literally, torture!
If you want to try it, then whatever else you do, do NOT try to do it alone! Please have someone there who can help you immediately. Getting stuck in a self tie is bad enough; getting stuck in THIS type of situation would be way, way worse!!!

Thanks for the post by those who have actually tried it. i guessed it would leave deep rope marks and hurt quickly but wondered if there was a way to protect wrists and still get the kicking your legs helpless feel. Some websites advertise "Suspension cuffs" has anyone tried those?

and yes FF, I was not expecting to do it alone :bondage:

I think that if the captive was hoisted until they were on tiptoe, or the balls of their feet, the strain could be lessened, while still having an effect.

Also, having a system that could lower the person quickly would be of importance.

Let's put this in an historical context: the Romans were not above "cruxifying" criminals simply by suspending them from thier bound wrists. I understand that the outcome was often favourable - for the executioners!

You can always get some leather-made suspension cuffs. If you spend the money for good ones you can last hanging there for quite some time and i say this from personal experience.

BAD IDEA--- You have three major nerves that cross over the wrist bones where there is no room for them to maneuver. Permanent nerve damage is quite possible. Left long enough, the diaphragm wears out and the shoulders can't raise up any further, thus making breathing more and more difficult until it stops altogether. Good quality wrist suspension cuffs have a built in bar for the fingers to grab onto. Others try to spread the strain beyond just the wrist. Better get a rappelling harness and tie that off with hands tied or cuffed. You can dance that way as long as you want. Play safe, play hard, play often....

I can say with some personal experience that this is indeed the case. Don't do it when it hurts; there's a good reason why it hurts!

It looks like a fun position but unfortunately their are risks involved with it as everyone pointed out. If only we didn't have to worry about those type of risks.

You can minimize them by using custom-made padded leather cuffs that I hear they make these days that cover much of your wrist and spreads the pressure rather than concentrate it, and supplement this with a special harness you can wear around your torso that you can also be hung by for extra support. The upshot is you're still hanging in the same position but your wrists are taking nowhere near all the strain they would be in the kinds of scenarios we all think about - much of it is taken by your shoulder and upper arms and by your waist instead (like that harness they use in Peter Pan plays). It may cut the charm of it for some people but it's a lot less uncomfortable and a whole lot safer (at least if you're in good health) - especially for hang ups of any real duration.

Captives hung by the wrists is awesome!....in fiction. In real life its very uncomfortable and even dangerous.

Don't do it.

You best bet would be to try leather cuffs with atleast a stacked up 1 inch thick cloth rapped around each wrist underneath the cuffs and a harness to take some strain off the wrists

I have had my hands tied above my head standing (same tie shown in my dA) and as a reaction to tickling, I pulled myself up by my wrists. I was using leather cuffs and I wasn't there for more than a minute and idk if that's the same feelings as hanging (it was more of a pull-up). I know some who have the nice padded suspension cuffs that spread the pressure across lots of the wrist to make it more bearable. I wouldn't ever consider being hung by my wrists unless I had very good pressure spreading cuffs and was only there for a very short moment and with someone I trusted greatly.
No one has mentioned being tied by the ankles yet and while I don't have personal experience with it, I know someone who has. Said it was a pretty difficult position to be in and really made the torture extremely rough to handle.
I've tried the standing strappado before and it's not my number one choice for a tie up for sure.
So there's my two pence.

Hanging upside down by the ankles isn't as directly painful to the ankles because the bones and ligaments are much thicker and stronger there and are designed to support the human body weight in the first place... although the strains placed on them while upside-down are different than what they are designed for. The real problem with hanging upside down is that it makes blood rush to the head and this makes most people pass out after a very short time. Mere minutes in some cases. If you're not a young athlete, it's an experience best skipped at at least practiced without bondage by means you can very quickly get out of, such as merely standing on your head.
Definitely not a position to be left in while unwatched for any length of time. It looks like fun... but only in fiction.
As for strappado; you need to be very, very limber to endure that any length of time. If anything, that's at least as dangerous as hanging by the wrists, as something easily could go very wrong very quickly. Also definitely not recommended unless you are in excellent physical condition AND your captor is experienced with it and knows exactly what they are doing.

actually BB, you'll get as much mileage out of raising the feet so the butt is off the ground. Victim can stay that way for quite a while, can't reach his feet to get loose, and tickle targets all over the place.

I know I agree with what everybody is saying, but at least the THOUGHT of hanging by wrists is an interesting look, it gives you that real dungeon feel. I've also been tied or cuffed with my hands way up high, but not suspended. I've wondered what it would be like to be off the ground, but don't worry, I'm not about to try it. That strappado position could be interesting (not off the ground of course!). I'd like to see how far I could go like that.
