Help Is it safe to hang with hand?

[chaoschuckler]

I've everything setup for FSH after lots of trail and error but before i actually attempt, i want to test the rope by hanging with hand. It's a 10-12mm static climbing rope. Im scared that if hanging can break a neck, can it also break my hand?if yes, how do I test it?

If im correct, hanging itself doesnt break ur neck. Its jumping into the rooe that breaks ur neck. The sudden fall basically. And tbh i dont think u need to go for the jump, suffocation is enough to die.

Thanks for the reply, wdym jumping isn't needed, u mean i shld go for partial or that i should slowly step down the stool? Is it okay to test with my hand if i step down slowly?

I'm pretty sure that he means doing a full suspension hanging, and probably one that's a bit high, like, pretty pretty high.

Ye what i mean u should step down slowly.
Also why dont u just try with both hands instead of one hand? The whole idea is to see if the rope can handle u.
U should also look for fsh videos maybe there are some in this forum , it should help u know what to do.

I've already seen some. Hanging with a hand breaks it or not and if it's safe is what I wanted to know. Using 2 hands is fine then?

Whether you use one hand or two, it's going to be the same amount of weight, but using two hands will give you better grip on the rope. You won't break your hand by checking to see if it holds or not. Your fingers will lose grip on the rope due to being able to open up, your neck has nowhere to go because your head is in the way.
