Suspended
"Well, basically the names came as a way to shorten the descriptions."

- Allen Falkner






Historically, suspensions were static; done with separate ropes each attached to individual hooks. Recently a new dynamic rigging design has been implemented. This new system employs a single rope through a system of links, eyebolts and/or pulleys to allow the hooks to reach a state of equlibrium.
