Safer/better: Spreader bars or rope?

I had hoped someone would have had some input for this by now.

How would you support their body weight?
It would not be safe to have all of ones body weight supported by a couple wrist/ankle restraints.

I suppose I could go the more traditional method and suspend with rope on a frame with legs/hands bound back or at side.

But I really want to use a wall.

Still not sure. Almost ripped an arm off yesterday and it was not my arm to rip off. Still need advice here.

Nope, nope and nope. Still need help or more advice.

Hello? Any BDSM people? Oh pretty please.

I'm not exactly a "BDSM" person, but, I'm not sure sideways on a wall will work. Gravity around the center of the body and the farthest points, i.e. the arm and leg farthest away from the ground, will be your greatest challenge. If you can find a way to comfortably stabilize those points, you might find success.

I've been doing suspension for a number of years now, and what you are expressing is not something to do unless you know how to do it, and preferably with spotters present in case something goes awry.

What are you going for? Are you wanting them horizontally against a wall? If that is the case, having all of the weight on their wrists or arms is a no-no, even people who have been doing this for 10+ years wouldn't do that. Your kink doesn't bloody matter if you're harming the people you're playing with, and I'm honestly offended by your "there must be a way" approach.

The best method is to have a waist or hip line, and if you don't know what that means, please, for the love of god, don't do this. If you want to discuss suspension techniques then I would be more than happy to discuss them with you, but this is not something to do without, like I said, years of practice and spotters.

Also, sideways suspensions aren't "hard" but doing one against a wall is asinine because it doesn't allow the person any movement, which is the only thing that makes a sideways suspension any semblance of comfortable.

Again, please don't do this. I'm afraid for the well-being of the bottom you are attempting to perform this on.

For those interested in knowing it was this photo that started my craze.



But I think I may have finally worked out a method.

Using Velcro cross straps I latch the body onto a peg board at each joint.

See image:



Green is Velcro, purple is grip locks and harness set.

Person holds the grips and puts feet into stirrup giving enough time to Velcro pin the waist then limbs. in theory there would be no movement but even weight distribution for body.

I have a shoulder harness kit that would work aces.



Thoughts?

Not photoshopped, but not done by someone who is attempting to use "velcro straps" to suspend someone.

I repeat, if you have never attempted something like this, do not do it. They did it with that sort of tie for a reason. Why not just do it the way they did it? When you start incorporating ankle and wrist ties into anything suspension-wise, you enter a ton of risk that is beyond the regular amount.

Suspension is already risky - things like nerve damage. Add in the extra, and you're talking about dislocating limbs, loss of circulation, blood clotting.

Again, your lack of interest in safety of your bottom disturbs me. Greatly. Have you ever been on Fetlife? That may be more of a place for your questions, and I bet you people will say similar to what I've already said.
