Suspension bondage

Suspension bondage is a form of sexual bondage where a bound person is hung from one or more overhead suspension points. It carries a higher risk than other forms of sexual bondage.

A woman in horizontal suspension using rope bondage at BoundCon 2013. Since the submissive's arms are tied here, it is important for safety that the rope is strong and does not break.
Body suspension means the act of rigging a human body to hang from implements that have been placed through temporary perforations in the skin.
