Learning to Suspend

I recently posted on Instagram (and will do so on Fetlife) a comment about how dangerous suspensions can be.

I know of many novice shibarites attempting suspensions on their own after watching a rope demo, or learning for a few months.

I'm of the opinion that to suspend as safely as possible, a shibarite should engage in suspensions only after they've done floor work for a couple of years, developed good rope handling/technique skills, and most importantly, learned from an expert that knows how to suspend and teach suspension.

I'd like to hear from those on Milla's Kinbaku Diaries forum. What are your thoughts about learning to suspend?
