Hello hello,

I am going to be doing a full suspension hanging soon (probably), but one thing that is tripping me up is rope thickness. I often see 10mm and 12mm thrown around, but I also see people say that works for people with an average weight. How about people, such as me, who are overweight (~95kg)? Is 10 or 12mm still safe, or do I need to go up to 14 or 16mm to minimize the risk of the noose snapping under my own weight? I do not need my attempt failing because I'm too fat.
