If you hang upside-down too long can you die?!


Question: This was in a movie I saw. A guy hung upsidedown with his arms dangling for a few hours. He got knocked out, but he woke up and was fine. Is this realistic? Would it kill your brain-cells or anything?

yes..could cause a stroke type of situation which could effect your breathing,or if you fainted then your airway could be compromised etc...

Try it out and let me know!......Yes you can die. Too much blood rushing to the head.

Hmmm, well that's a good question! I don't think this could've been realistic because when you hang upside down, all the blood rushes to your brain and your face turns a reddish/purple colour....(personal experience) I dunno, what kind of film was it? If it was a comedy it's probably not true!

i guess...yea.blood rushes to ur brain.

well, if you pass out and crack your head open, yeah you might just die...

i dont think it can kill you, i think it would make you feel pretty bad, though.
