Anyone have any experience with extreme body modifications involving suspending oneself from the ceiling i.e. this women and more.
So is there a common rationalization for this sort of thing?
First of all, people don’t usually suspend from the ceiling directly. A specially built suspension rig is used.
And probably you should read the Suspension FAQ. Lots of answers.
I might do a suspension, if I had the chance. It would be an interesting experience.
I’m sorry, I just don’t understand the appeal of that…
But of course that’s just my opinion…
I think the BME Suspension FAQ posted by Mirror Image egamI rorriM is going to be your best source of information on this.
I’ve been interested in it awhile myself, and I remember back in high school learning about the Sun Dance and O-Kee-Pa suspension rituals of some native american groups.
Rationalizations for something of this nature, of course, are going to be different for each person participating but for most I would venture that it has both spiritual and physical significance. As with any sort of ritual event it can be a testing of spirit and body.
