I just don't understand

iWon News: "Tony Troiano grimaced as he was lifted off the floor by giant fishhooks pierced through the skin on his shoulders.

Within minutes, he started to spin, swing his feet and declare the painful experience 'the greatest thing' ever.

'I was on Cloud Nine,' the Wethersfield, Connecticut teenager said as he joined fellow body suspension practitioners at an annual convention over the weekend. 'It was euphoric. It was spiritual. I'd do it again today if I wasn't so sore.'

From tentative first-timers to the well practiced, more than a hundred aficionados celebrated their passion for body suspension at the three-day gathering, held in an old textile mill in Providence, Rhode Island.

To hang cost $100; just to watch cost $15 at what many say is the best such gathering for the hundreds, if not thousands, of people they estimate practice suspension across America."
