Equipment

Suspension Ring

A large metal ring rigged overhead as an anchor for suspension work.

Definition

A Suspension Ring is a metal ring mounted overhead as the primary anchor point for suspension. Its size, load rating, and the strength of the structure from which it hangs are all treated as fundamental safety considerations.

Discussion

Suspension Rings are not the only overhead hardware used; bamboo, beams and other structures also serve, each with their own considerations.
