Just hanging around!

Postby AIDAN.SIM » Sat Feb 14, 2009 2:13 pm

A few weeks ago my best friends parents went on holiday leaving him in charge of the house and keeping an eye on his dads car repair shop.
My friend Nathan is 17, 5'6" athletically built(as his hobby is cross country running), blue eyes and short brown hair. I am 15, also 5'6" and like to stay in shape playing football(of which we are both strikers) with brown eyes and blond hair.
We had just finished football practice and Nath said he had to go into the village to make sure his dads repair shop was o.k. I agreed to accompany him. After 20 min walk we finally reached our destination and Nath unlocked the door and silenced the alarm. We both walked in and locked the door behind us. After splitting up and having a quick scout around to make sure things were in order we met back at the car ramp. It was a sturdy contraption capable of lifting a car a good 10 feet or so into the air. Nath pressed the up button on the controller and the whole thing started to rise. When it was at eye level Nath issued me the challenge of hanging onto the crossbeam that was attached to the ramp to see how long i could keep gripped onto it. So, as it raised i grabbed the bar and it slowly lifted me off the ground. After only about 30 seconds the pain in my hands was too much and i dropped the foot or so to the ground. Nath laughed out loud and said he could rig it so i could last much longer hanging up there. I foolishly accepted and he disappeared into the back store. When he reappeared he had a sports bag with him. He told me to take off my shirt because what he had in store might make me sweat. So i did as he asked. He then opened the bag to reveal a length of sturdy rope and a leather belt. The belt was about 2 1/2 inches wide with a double buckle. it was clearly a weightlifting belt because it was padded. He told me to hold out my arms and as i did he wrapped the belt around my wrists twice and buckled it. It was quite slack and my wrists were still a couple of inches apart. He then fed the rope between my wrists around the belt and tied a slip knot before pulling the slip knot tight. The effect was immediate as the belt tightened around both wrists. He checked that i couldn't get loose and that the padding on the belt was doing its job. He then started lowering the ramp. At this point i stared having second thoughts, but it was too late as he stopped the ramp and started tying off the rope to the cross beam. This gave me about a foot of slack rope. He asked if i was alright but before i could respond he pushed the up button. As the ramp lifted i could feel the rope pulling at my wrists and slowly my arms were being pulled above my head.


Please let me know if you wan't me to continue

Why wouldn't we want you to continue? You have a decent start (for me the one on the ground being a girl would make it better instead of 2 guys) now you only need to finish the story.

So as i left it my arms were being pulled above my head and i could feel the belt really tighten around my wrists. I could now feel my arms straining and my body began to lift. "STOP" i shouted and nath released his finger from the control. So there i was with just my tiptoes on the ground.
"If we stop now i'll tell everyone about this at school" he said.
Now i'm quite popular at school and wanted to stay that way so i agreed we should carry on.
"I'll be needing this next" he said as he unbuckled my belt and pulled it from my jeans. He proceeded to strap my ankles together and pulled another short piece of rope from the bag and tied my legs as he did my arms. I couldn't see the reasoning behind this but all became clear when wheeled a trolley towards me with what seemed to be a rather large van or truck battery.
"This weighs about sixty pounds(approx 4.5 stones)and should keep your feet on the ground"
He tied off the rope to the handle on the battery and dragged it off the trolley. He turned around and hovered his finger on the up button.
"This might hurt a bit, but you always did want to be a bit taller"
He pushed the button and the lift whirred into action pulling my feet off the ground and i could feel my shoulders click as they took the strain. After another few seconds i could feel my ankles pulling me down. Then the pain got real as the weight of the battery began to stretch my body to the limit, i let out a shout of pain and looked over at my friend an he was grinning from ear to ear. He didn't stop until the battery was a good 6 inches off the ground.
The pain was unbelievable, this was what it must of been like on the torture rack. I was finding it difficult be breathe and my wrists felt like they were on fire.
"Lets see if you can last longer that the 30 seconds before"
"Not much bloody choice" I said with laboured breathe.
After about a minute the sweat was really pouring off me and the weight stretching me felt like a ton. After a couple more minutes i'd had more than enough so i said he should let me down now. He just smiled and said that i should go home with a souvinier of the day. He unlooped his own belt and cracked it together like a whip. I threatened i would scream if he whipped me and he came to his senses and let me down.
Albeit the next time we had an empty garage I wasn't so lucky as he found the benefits of a gag.
That evening I had to explain my red wrists and achig body to my g/f alex.
"Sound like fun" she said "Maybe i'll come along next time"
And that she did, but thats a story for another time

That was a FANTASTIC story - I look forward to reading more of your experiences.

Did you suffer any long-term injuries? I've been tied to a tree with my hands tied to the branch above my head, but I've never "been hung" before. It must have really hurt?
