When soundsFun got back from his boundGods live shoot we decided to try this at home.
I learned a lot from the experience.
The standard gunslinger is built on a bola-bola knot at the hips. When the weight shifted into the inversion this allowed the center ropes to move within the knot, creating a pinch around the waist. Building this on a knot with bends back and forth would have solved this problem.
I attached directly to the ropes with a climbing carabiner. During the inversion this caused a couple problems. The caribener moves more than a rope attach. During the inversion this movement allowed the thigh wraps to move. I reattached using a climbing loop pulled into three bights around the lower joint of the gunslinger harness. It worked a lot better.
But for the inverted suspension to work I would need to retie the gunslingers.
So I got out the snubbers. And this became the most dynamic suspension that we had ever done.
There was light play.
