Just want to verify that this machine will allow a person to hang fully inverted, i.e. 180 deg. upside-down, like for xample, a bat?

Yes, but do not attempt to put on a costume and fight crime unless you are a detective millionaire trained by martial arts extremists.

Yes.. you will be able to, but not for long as the ankle support is not cushioned enough, so it does start paining in few minutes.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to do it. It may need some slight adjustments for stability, but I don't see why it would not work for you.

Sorry, Chris, this can't hold a laptop fully upside down because it does not have a tethering system to hold the laptop to the stand. You could angle it in such a way that you could lay in bed a watch the laptop comfortably, just not upside down

Yes. It can go way past 180. It cranks all the way to where your legs would be behind you (360, I guess!). That looks extremely painful!

I never tried it. If it helps you, I'll try it tomorrow when I'm home. I run it horizontally. You'd have to secure its position sideways.

I think its like 97% inversion, but for 1/3rd the price of teeter hangups, it works pretty well. I have been using it everyday now and very happy with the purchase.

I think it is weight based. My husband is able to completely invert. He is 5'10" and 165#. I am unable to completely invert. I am 5'4" and 110#. I can get about 85% inverted.

I can do a partial inverted sit up on it. I can't do a full inverted sit up because I'm not physically able to. I don't think it is as good for this application as gravity boots. However, I think someone in better shape could probably come up with something they were happy with. If you get carried away with it, you can shift your point of balance too much and it will go back over.

I'm 220#'s and it will do this, complete upside down, for me. I don't use that position very often but it is there. Mike C.

it may hold you upside down,remember that thre's a part that's intend to provide ajustments for your height measurements,so it depends on how you adjusted....have fun with it...its a marvelous equipment,I used it almost every day,for my herniated disks....

You can do some shallow crunches while inverted, but the table is so well balanced that it will probably right itself if you bend too far up.

Yes...excellent inversion table, can also lock into several degrees. You can also do inverted sit ups...

yes. you can invert 180 and lock in position. your exercises wont take you out of the perimeter of the footprint of the unit. it is stable. Mike Hart, satisfied customer.

Only if by proper boots you mean anti gravity boots... George Jetson. The bar is great for pull ups but it does sway and rock easily from side to side. I wouldn't feel safe hanging upside down from a bunch of poles that aren't welded or even bolted tight. Slip connections don't even all have cotter pins. That said its plenty sturdy for normal pull ups and the loose joints make for quick easy assembly/disassembly. If you do upside down stuff... wear a helmet... Radio.

Try to twist is 180 degrees.....push it further in when you try to flip it.

The 550 can handle any angle of inversion, including full inversion. The table bed will rotate a touch past straight upside-down and lock away from your body so you can hang clear of the bed, allowing you to stretch. When you are ready to return upright, reach behind your head and pull the table bed back to your body, and then put your arms to your sides. The Teeter is engineered for precision balancing to give you total control of the speed and angle of inversion.

Well, for me the inversion machine is the only thing that works..I don't like to take pain meds, so I use the machine does work for me. If you want to invert for longer periods, I kinda bend my neck upwards do the blood doesn't rush to your head, it works for me, I hope it works for you too, good luck, I'm sure you won't regret it,
