can you get stuck in a full inversion?is there a pivot control to build up to full inversion?

No you cannot get stuck upside down, there is a safety strap to prevent you from pivoting too far and the grab handles are in a position where you can easily reach them from any position and it's very easy to flip back up once inverted. The manual has the proper technique you should follow, which my chiropractor confirmed. It's a smooth free motion not restricted by the machine and takes very little effort to hold a position or move to a new position

If you mean get stuck in full inversion by accident, I don't think so...have not experienced that. There is no pivotal control...just body weight balancing to adjust the inclination until you reach full inversion...balancing by extending your arms over your head.

There is a safety strap to adj. to the level you want to be at before you climb on.

There is a strap to control the amount of inversion . I use mind at about 60 degrees. If you go to a full 90 degree inversion there are handle bar to pull yourself back up if you don't have the pivots set so your arm movement will allow it to come back up. You don't have to go the full 90 degree to get the benefits of the table. I have use one now for about 8 years. This unit was an upgrade for my older cheaper version.

I don't think it is but if a full inversion is too much you can always restrict the angel how far you go down and that makes it even easier to get back up.

Yes you can do unassisted inverted situps . I was able to do them just fine. Not using the optional yellow stop bar allows you to go a full 180 so you can do a situp. Quick tip, if you just try to do a sit up, the weight shift will make you go back up. What you have to do is crunch your lower body (feet) as you bring your upper body up so that the inversion table doesn't shift up from your the body movement. Not sure if that makes any sense but it works as long as you have the strength and the right movement.

no there is no locking capability in the full inversion position. but you can set the belt to the maximum angel you want in angles less than 900 degree (this is not a locking mechanism)

Fwatson, what do u require per an "answer" that has not been offered already? Have you any experience in using an inversion table, and why are u seeking to purchase one Fwatson? Let me know and I will try to help.

Yes, I had no issue with getting back to the starting position by myself. Make sure you read all the safety guides, especially about the amount of time you are upside down. There is an adjustable strap that can limit the inversion distance.

You can adjust the angle by adjusting the strap underneath the table. I have mine let out completely because I invert completely upside down but it can be adjusted to however far you want to go. God bless you!

Hello is not possible the pivot is very thick. best regard Pymecol Empresas

You could ,BUT it may require another person to hold it inverted. You might be able to do inverted pull-ups using the handles and this may require someone to hold in inverted position. Very little shifting of weight from the pivot point will move this in either direction. I've seen pictures of people doing at least partial sit ups with no problem.

Sure, whatever works for you. Complete inversion can be uncomfortable, especially at first. If you can eventually become accustomed to it, it probably is more effective but........whatever works best for you.

I myself seldom go over the second setting, but when Ive gone full inversion I bend my legs and pull myself back up with no problem

It is alittle bit. I hold on to the bars, and bend my knees (bringing your weight towards your feet). Theres a point where your center of gravity flips the table back to the starting position. If you find it hard I would lower the feet harness (before you begin) so that your center of gravity is more towards feet then your head. That way when you want to flip back it takes less effort. good luck

Yes. You can invert the controls to match too. I've mounted over 50 if them inverted with no problem.

I think it would be close. I'm 6' tall but I only invert to the second notch. I can feel my back stretching along with the other joints in my body. I took the stop bar out completely and inverted it to see how close my feet would be to the ceiling. It would be very close either way with full inversion at your height. Personally, I think you would get great results even if you couldn't invert all the way. If you have a long torso and short legs I think you could fully invert, but it would be close.

Eric:Eric: Yes, if you open up the safety strap. It is not advisable to invert completely vertical initially. so you should start out slowly at first until you get use to the table. Some people advise not to invert totally.

It's pretty easy. I've found it's easiest to grab the top middle and pull to the angle I want. The only thing I could consider a downside is that to adjust back down you have to go past the highest adjustment to go back down.

Good news! Yes, you can do it. Skill calls it the manual mode. Just press the mode button 3 times until indicator LED turns red instead of green. And now you could tilt it at whichever angle desirable.
