Partial Suspension from the Hip

A partial suspension lifting from a hip harness, a step before full suspension.

In this scene

Weight rides through a hip line in this partial suspension, one point of contact staying on the ground. Compared with a full lift, it's a gentler way into suspension.

About partial suspension

Because part of the body stays supported by the ground, a partial suspension carries lower load and lower risk than a full one, yet it still produces that floating, weightless look. Many treat it as a stepping stone in their rope practice.

What you're watching

Produced by performers who know what they're doing. Even a "partial" rope suspension brings real load and circulation concerns, all handled off camera, so it rewards watching for craft rather than copying.
