Re: Sideways Hanging - Yes or No

I'm sure anyone designing this type of hanging would wanna have a wide grip anyways... and the wider the grip on the bar, the less likely the bar would bend or break.

Our team has talked about this hanging method and started design a system with a 28" wide grip. Far more then what was calculate by Kevin

EDIT: our system is similar to the boy on the bar, but uses mechanical leverage and should be much much safer then a "hook and lift" method
