Hi, here is something I've tuned over the last sessions:
The simplest and safest strappado:
You need (first picture):
- First pic: Materials needed
- one turnbuckle (Or Your release mechanism of choice) (<3USD)
- a few metal rings or small carabiners (<1USD)
- a few quick release zip-ties (<2USD/100pcs)
- rope and eventually some wide straps
Setup (second picture):
- Second pic: Linkage placement
- thread the ratchet strap thru the slit, measure the distance from the top of the door, and tie a simple knot
(the distance is to the lowest point of the strappado)
- pass it over the door, and when closed, test the strength...
- with a couple feet(<2m) of strap or rope, link two metal rings and pass it thru the lower (one inch/3cm) side of the door
- Closing the door, You are now inside and there are three points of attachment on the door
- tie Your ankles, thread the rope thru rings and the ratchet hook
- Leave roughly the same length between ankle tie and rings as You suppose to be able to raise Your hands
- tie Your hands (I use quick release zip-ties) at the back, raise them to the ratchet and hook them on the turnbuckle
- The turnbuckle and carabiners will provide enough length to handle the ratchet
- when ready start pulling up (and being dragged back to the door...)
...
I'm here to answer any question, but it's dead-simple!
Have fun! Try again,
