FSH Setup?

[Catchthebusnow]

Hi SaSu! Something I'm kind of confused about - it seems to me like, isn't doing FSH over a door a perfectly great setup even if the door is open? At first my main roadblock was that I couldn't see how you could close and lock the door with any kind of standard rope. But, as long as you have the noose and something like a dumbbell on the same side of the door like in this picture then you can have the door open, no problem, right? Because I can't imagine that even in the wildest involuntary convulsions/movements/thrashing I can't imagine the rope moving sideways all the way off - and wouldn't that be the only failure point? I'm wondering if I'm missing something - I can't obtain my rope for a little bit longer, but has anyone tested this setup / does anyone have any thoughts? I'm worried I'm missing something because otherwise wouldn't we not see posts from people desperately trying to find an anchor for FSH … but I also can't see how this could go wrong. I'm trying to imagine a body doing the wildest involuntary movements and I can't picture the rope moving sideways - wouldn't it just stay in place? Because there's so much downward force from the hanging body pinning it in place? I just cannot picture the rope moving sideways … any thoughts would be much appreciated !

If you're saying to leave the door open/cracked. That's an unstable object even the slightest movement of the door going back and forth on the hinges could theoretically loosen the rope.

Hmm. But isn't the rope pinned down by the sheer weight of the body hanging from it? So the door could go back and forth but wouldn't the rope stay in place?
I believe @AreWeWinning had said in a previous thread that if the dumbbell or object is at the bottom it would work with the door open?

Could it work, yes. I'm of the idea that anything extra is another risk for failure. Extra in this case is the door being opened instead of secure.

Makes sense! Can't close the door with any standard rope, so was trying to evaluate whether open—with the dumbbell/object on the same side at the bottom—would actually be pretty solid.

is that picture how it's usually done?

What if SI kicks in and your feet attempt to catch a hold of the door knob, making the struggle prolonged and possibly very painful.
