Lumbering Bear Adventure Gear Fat old guy drop test

So for fun I thought I would try to see how long I can hang from a couple of the hooks I make. I know this isn’t the most technical test or safest, but I have been wanting to try this for a while.
Now that I am healed 99% from my mtb crash injuries, I figured I would try something stupid lol. I weigh 208 at the moment and man I look way fatter than I feel lol Please pardon the shop condition I haven’t finished renovating yet!!
All kidding aside the test helped reveal some good information I can apply to my manufacturing process. I’m going to do a more thorough progressive weight test on more components once I finish up the shop for winter.
