I want to consider hanging in a hotel. I've got three apparatus approaches, but each has a flaw. Does anyone see anything different here?
1) Pull-up bar. I love this, but. My calculation is that the height might be too low. With a 6'8" door height, maybe a 4" drop to where the bar can be, and the drop for the noose (8 inches?) that seems to allow only 5 feet 8 inches at max. Seems too little unless one is quite petite
2) Use the method of affixing a dumbell to one end of a rope, draping that over a door, and hanging from the other side. The challenge here to me is most doors won't close with a rope in them. One person suggested it isn't necessary for the door to close all the way
3) substitute a nylon strap ratchet strap for the rope in the scenario above. Tie one end of the rope to the dumbell. Use the ratchet for the noose, with the closure at the back of the neck. Not sure if this would work. The strap might be too wide, and using a ratchet instead of a knot is not very well tested.
Anyone have comments?
