I need an expert opinion on this.
I have a pull-up bar and climbing sling (carrying capacity almost 2 tons). My plan is to wrap the sling around the main bar several times, as shown in the first picture, until the loose end is high enough. Then I would wrap the loose end around my neck as shown in the 2nd pic. If I wrap it high enough only my feet would touch the ground. Alternatively, I could buy a pull-up bar with a bar that goes even higher.
Would this work? I tested the whole thing by lowering myself into the position shown in the second picture and holding on to the bar with my hands. I immediately felt the blood in my head start to build up. But I could still breathe to some extent. I didn't dare try to let go completely with my hands, as I didn't know what would happen to the cervical vertebrae if the entire body weight was carried by it.
Tips welcome.
