Every company has its own culture. Hell, of course, revolves around modifications and hook suspension. During the year we organize suspension workshops for the public, the proceeds of which we send to animal shelters. But as it happens, the blacksmith's mare walks barefoot. We ourselves rarely find time to hang out in peace. That's why at least once a year we organize hell family hangings. And write that this is a parade of unusual curtains!
Magic Oak
Míla Bugtcher wrote his observations from hell hanging, who helped all the hangers up.
Last year we discovered a beautiful place in the forest that belongs to our friends. There stands a huge tree. Or rather, a TREE! This hundred-year-old oak tree is reminiscent of the elven villages in The Lord of the Rings. It's exactly the tree you want to hang on. He also enchanted us at first sight.
Our Mascha was the first to hang on it a year ago. Her hanging christened the place and we could then do the first session in a narrow circle. This year we went to the oak for the second time. In addition to the hell family, we also invited a few friends with whom we met at suspension workshops.
Míša and Denisa
After the necessary installations, the first hinge came into play. Míša and Denisa took it together. You can check out their tandem curtain on Instagram.
Agience
The second curtain was the lotus of our photographer Agience. She was very afraid and tolerated the pain badly, so she really experienced the curtain and with it most of us. These moments are why we do it all. The lotus is one of the simpler curtains, but the way Klaudi fought and won over herself was one of the best curtains of the day.
Mirka
The third curtain belonged to our piercer Mirka. Because it was her personal and important ritual, she wanted to use hooks pre-pierced with needles. Those that are used elsewhere in the world (we invented our own type of hooks for Hell Hang, which are more gentle on the skin and wounds heal much faster). When I pierced mirka's skin on her breasts and then inserted hooks into her wounds, I felt a tension like I hadn't for a long time. I was surprised by the time it hung upstairs. I started to choke on the curtain by my chest after only a few seconds, while Mirka hung for over a minute. Because the skin on the breast is delicate, it usually tears. Mirka, however, did not have a problem with the torn hole in her breasts.
Christopher
Kryštof is an experienced hangman from workshops and has tried almost everything, including a curtain for one hook in the middle of the chest. Massacre! This time he invented a position that I nickname "a seat in a tram". We fine-tuned the construction for a while and the result was a comfortable curtain, especially suitable for quiet reading. It hung until we decided to tie the rope to the tree so that our hands would not hurt. At the end, he could not resist and wanted to swing in the classic suicide curtain.
Paul
Antichrist curtain belongs to those, at least in my opinion, unpleasant hangs. Four hooks stuck in my calves and hanging upside down doesn't seem like a cool thing to me. Pavel, a frequent participant in hell suspension workshops, nevertheless remained at ease. Only when Kryštof told him a hilarious story of how he had unfastened one leg in tow and the other tore off, did the calm pass him a little. So he preferred not to unfasten his leg, but he still tore himself into two stitches. But that's not something we can't handle in no time.
Adam with a log
Adam is a guy I also met at the Hell suspension workshop. From the beginning, he was looking for more demanding hangs and his approach to pain intrigued me a lot. That's why we invited him to our hanging. What he invented this time really interested me a lot. Six hooks in his back, four more from the front, on which he hung his partner, who was hanging behind his back and knees. To make matters worse, she had their ritual log hung in her back on two more hooks, which she carries with her to every workshop. At the end, Adam was still hanging in the vertical chest curtain.

The last curtain was our Káča. It was her first suspension, so she chose the classic suicide. She was slightly stressed about it, the first pull did not fit her very well, so she rested and went upstairs again.
And then enough was enough. The whole team was already struggling with fatigue. It's a really big difference to hang ten people on suicide and prepare such unusual and complicated snacks. But we enjoyed the fest. And then we sat around the fire, talking, drinking and absorbing the experience.
