Revisiting my favorite piece of bondage furniture

I hadn't used the incline/decline bench in a while.  It is one of the only pieces of bondage furniture that I believe is worth the storage space.  (the other is the sling


In my third lesson from Max, I tied Skyflyer007 (mostly clothed) to the bench.  I used climbing webbing in several places for comfort.

I haven't used the bench with rope much since.
The bench presents some challenges.  Knots or bends between the body and the bench become uncomfortable quite quickly.  Positions on the bench tend to pull limbs together.  Hands near each other or other limbs presents a security risk.  (pesky hands always untying knots)
SoundsFun and I decided to revisit this position and try to mitigate these problems.
The knots for the chest harness were moved to the side, in the space behind the left arm and torso.  This made lying down much more comfortable, at a cost of making the frapping between the arms and the torso much much more difficult.
The hands are well spaced from any knots, held in place by the upper arms and a slight outward pull by attaching to the feet of the bench. 
I attached his thighs to floor points.  But there's an equally valid attach above the shoulders to the top edge of the bench.
I think this turned out well.
