Nothing like being suspended 26 feet in the air

I just got down from a few hours of suspension play.  My house has a two story loft ceiling in our living room, which allows me to suspend myself that high.  However I'm sad to report that my ceiling harness lives no more.  I got what I paid for and the cable could not hold up to the small crank shaft.  So aparently a couple hundred suspensions is all you get for 80 dollars.  However I was able to replace the entire rig with a manual rope harness.  Not quite like pushing a button on a wireless key, but it does have its benefits.

Today I disovered that having a ring tied to the ceiling (in the attic rafters) and a ring tied to my suspension harness and three wraps of rope between the two rings creates a pully efficient enough to keep me suspended off the ground with two 20-pound weights.  This weight ratio of course relies on a few variables including my weight, the size and type of the rings and rope so don't just attempt what I've described without safety precautions. 

After rigging everything up - body harness tied as described above and a two 10 pound weights attached to the end of a 30 foot piece of rope I slid off the upstairs banister and swung gently to the center of the anchor point.  I then slipped on two ankle-thigh straps and attached them to the ring that is holding the harness.  Then I tied a constrictor-knot around my wrist-cuffs and tied the rope holding the cuffs together to the same ring - though using a slip-knot that I can use to escape. 

After a while the swinging slows to a gentle rocking.  My wrists were a little tight, but nothing I couldn't handle.  I had a dvd on loop to provide some entertainment and of course there's always the risk that someone comes to my house with a glass front door that does little to blur the view.  I might turn this setup into a story, it has a good starting point for a woman to be discovered and I've always wanted to try my hand at a sex story.

When my wife  comes home tonight she'll have a fairly nice suprise waiting for her.
