I'm limited with my options available to me unfortunately, the location of my house is on a very busy street and promenade in a small town with little to no woodland within close proximity. Also, I'm 184cm and 90kg so that limits my options even more, full suspension wouldn't work with this bar because my head goes above it, but could partial work? I've pulled on it quite firmly and it feels secure, it's like bolted/screwed in on both sides so I think it's sturdy enough. Also, what sort of equipment would I need for partial? I'm guessing a thick rope but anything else?

To understand if it will hold your weight you need this data: diameter, length, cross-section and material of the bar, what type of bolts they are and where they are located (perpendicular to the bar, below, above, to the side) and if they are fixed to external supports/hooks that come into contact with the bar, ask chat gpt to do the math.

How would you ask chat GPT this? I've asked questions in the past and it had just sent suicide prevention materials back. Also can you test it by setting up the rope and hanging out of it with your hands and suspending your weight?

don't be specific about your intentions and what you're going to do in great detail, just ask "how much weight can object x support" or, if you have already taken the necessary measurements, just send them to him and say "calculate for me how much weight object x can hold".

Also can you test it by setting up the rope and hanging out of it with your hands and suspending your weight?
I think that's enough, yes, I first calculated how much weight my anchor could theoretically hold and then I did a practical test, you might think "why not do the practical test right away without the calculations?", because I had to make sure that my test was 99% fail-proof too to avoid suspicious noises due to of my circumstance, then it depends on yours whether to directly evaluate the practical test or not.
