Suspension

A suspension is the act of suspending a human body from hooks that have been put through body piercings. These piercings are temporary and are performed just prior to the actual suspension.

The ritual is performed by experienced professionals to avoid serious injury. The actual act of being suspended may take up only a tiny portion of time compared to the time involved in preparation. The suspendee's body will be studied to decide the proper placement, number, and size of metal hooks which are pierced into the skin to lift the person off the ground. A machine made for suspension is used and powerful rope that attaches to the hooks is used to slowly and carefully lift an individual a foot or two off the ground.

Historically, suspension rituals were performed by the Mandan tribe, located along the banks of the Missouri River. More about suspension ritual is available in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(body_modification)
