A workshop presented by the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture Assessing Hardpoints for Suspension Bondage

"Will that hold me?" A guide for anyone who hangs from the ceiling.
The most catastrophic accidents in suspension bondage are caused by hardpoint failure. Yet for most of us it is the one thing in our suspension play we have the least control or knowledge about.
This class is for both tops and bottoms with an eye toward giving you the skills you need to look up and decide "will that hold me" (or the one you love).
We will discuss in layman's terms how things actually fail and what signs to look for that a hardpoint has been poorly maintained or is too weak. I will show examples of things done right and things done wrong as well as demonstrate some failures in the class.
When: 7PM to 9PM
Cost: $25 at door
