How much weight can a fan hold of a person hanging from it before it breaks down???

It depends on the weakest link between fan, pole, mounts, etc.

It could be as little as 5kg or as much as 100kg

not much, coming from someone who used to clean homes, they're very flimsy

How can i find the weakest link??

It's impossible to say but you can easily test it.

Tie a rope to it, hold it with your hands and swing freely. If it holds for some time it's probably strong enough for hanging, too.

I highly doubt a shitty ceiling fan made out of crappy sheet and pot metal is going to be strong enough to support human weight, even a small person's weight.

I tested my ceiling fan now I'm in trouble.

I wouldn't trust a ceiling fan. I thought of getting one for my house and did a lot of reading and videos on how to install. They're not meant to support much weight.

I'm hotels some will have breakaway ceiling fans or lights on can't support your weight

I did tried to test it by hanging from neck but only for 3-4 secs

How do you "test" it by HANGING from your NECK?

I did tie the knot and everything but kept the height a bit low and had a bunk bed on the side and i did kick the stool away and was hanging for 2-3sec and then held onto the bunk bed's railing and removed the rope and got down

Ok...... Maybe it will hold you. Could also tie a weight of some type equivalent to your weight and see if it will hold it longer term.

Also, it's the summertime. You're going to need that fan to cool you down. Don't risk breaking it.
