Strappado
This article is about the torture method. For the related technique used in BDSM, see Strappado bondage. The strappado is a form of torture in which a victim is suspended in the air by means of a rope attached to his hands which are tied behind his back. Weights may be added to the body. A variant of strappado (the medieval inquisition name), is also known as reverse hanging. It has been reportedly used in Iraq as well as by institutions that practice torture, and also previously by the Nazis.
