is it safe to use alone? Everone shows going upside down how hard is it to right yourself? Do you need to pul yourself up with your arms?

Yes, you do it alone. There are bars to help pull back up, and it is easy to do. I know older ladies who use them and they are able to pull back up
444747
Yes it is but it may also depend on if you could possibly be a little older or have little upper body strength and if that's the case you may want to have someone around or your cell phone near by just until you are sure about things. As others have said there are bars on both sides to assist you. My husband and I love ours so hopefully you will e.d up with one and enjoy it just as well.

I'm 6'4" and yes I have to pull myself back up with my arms because my upper body is heavier than my lower body.

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

Yes it takes a little effort to go over and come back. The foot rest can be adjusted so your weight acts like a counter balance. You may need some help the first few times till you get it set to your weight and size. Or you may not want to go all the way over there are several settings.

I have never had any problems but the initial setting are crucial to make sure that there is never such an issue. If you start off at a lesser incline and adjust your heighth setting you should never have any troubles alone.

difficult can be a subjective term. my wife can have difficulty folding it up by herself and it can be a little awkward when folded up to move. I can fold and move by myself but it sure is easier to move it from room to room with two people. I like to leave it open and out most of the time. i love this item, but you can only hang a few minutes at a time, it seems it could be too much trouble if i had to fold and move after every use.. We put velcro felt around the bottom rail leg to protect the hardwood floor and allow it to slide around as needed.

I pull myself up to a horizontal position using the large handles and then sit up from there. I do not invert to a vertical position. When inverted my head is at about eight o'clock. This works well for me and it is easy to return to the sitting position by using the handles.

The manual says that everything needs to be upright to steam properly, however I have used it in this fashion and while you're taking a risk of burning yourself, I've been able to do it just fine. Just know that's not how it's desigend to be used.

It's the design of it to avoid it from flipping. There are other tubes for that kind of activity. I can swing this one out quite well, but I don't want to flip my kids. We have a flat lay down one for the more evasive maneuvers. I LOVE this tube though.

Honestly, it isn't made to do that so if you try to use it like normal but without support, you're probably going to fall backwards. However, you could use it more like a pillow and lay it on the backside and laying back on the handle side as a pillow, it can work pretty well.

I thought she meant for the inversion table. No idea for this. I think the screws might come out on somebody big. Unless you have already gotten into inversion. I recommend beginning with inversion table. Getting upside down on this on your own can be pain and very awkward if you have not used to being upside down.

I just tested mine and it worked upside down. Not as strong as rightside up, but enough to get the job done. I wouldn't recommend using it in this way though. Stick to lighting cigars and cigarettes with this product while you are somewhat upright and you should be fine.

It's easy to use solo other then it's like shooting close up trap. A second person would be easier. I had knee replacement surgery and within 2 months of the surgery I was using thus solo it wil fling doubles just fine takes a few birds to get the hang of it. Mine was well worth the money

I am but with some difficulty. The brace is rather small and the Velcro sometimes comes undone. It depends on how far back you can reach with your arm to be able to put it on yourself.

No its not. safe a few bucks so you can afort something else because its does work very well you can feel the intensity as you go on with the difrents positions so you can rest one arm as you go with the other but go ahead and buy it it very good product

I love mine. I can do it by myself no problem. Its a little faster with 2 persons but not by much.

First you need to adjust for your height. You may have to vary the adjustment depending on how your weight is distributed in your body. There are assist handles on both sides to assist you to right yourself. Start with a low angle of inversion.

I think it would be fine for him to use it alone if he doesn't have dementia or some reason not to understand about the way to turn around or reverse. If his arms are fairly strong, should be no problem. It is very easy to push, too. If there would be an incline, maybe you could help a little if needed.

As long as the unit is set-up / adjusted correctly for the user's height, it seems to do really well at balancing around the user's center-of-gravity, so that moving one's arms makes the table invert. I have not gone fully inverted yet but have had no problems getting back upright, usually just a slight pull on the handrails & move my arms toward my legs works. I'd suggest starting with smaller degrees of inversion & build up.

it's really hard to say....my best recommendation would be to try to use one in a store or something. this is one of those things that you gotta try it to see if it works for you. i can't really say it's helping me too much, but my issue might be different than yours...also, you can set it not to go fully upside down, so you can do a low angle inversion if that works better for you...bottom line, make sure this is the product for you before you spend $300 - $400 on it...hope this helped !!

Yes after practicing a few times I found it easy to put on alone and now it's really quick. I snap the bottom and then use both arms to reach up and back to snap the top but to undo the top I use one arm to hold the baby and the other I reach from the back upwards to undo. It's really not bad at all. :)
