Research and Development - swing stand

I agreed to do a bondage demonstration on the recon stage at IML.  It's time to get ready.

The demonstration would be more fun with partial and full suspension.  So I needed a traveling-worthy way of doing this.
A couple hours with google showed there to be possibilities.  I started with the idea of porch swing stands.  These can hold an appropriate amount of weight, however the rated attach points are near the edges. I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of rigging to the center of this.

However the sex industry has marketed alternatives.  I decided on the universal sex swing stand.  The load rating is enough to make me comfortable for a non-combative lift.  This does not seem to be as good a solution as the tet-truss, but is within my budget.

SoundsFun and I spent a half hour setting up the sex swing stand in the middle of the suspension bondage dungeon.  The inside of the swing stand is a bit more confined than I am used to.  The bondage was a good first effort.

This was an effort to have practical bondage that would be memorable for IML.

We had fun.
