Self-Suspension.

A rope practice where the practitioner ties themselves into a suspension. Self-suspension is the highest-skill sub-category of rope bondage: the practitioner must apply the rope correctly to their own body, manage their own nerve and pressure positions, and handle release without a partner. UK self-suspension communities are small and most learners study under instructors for years before practising alone. Not a beginner practice under any framing.
