Subject: [norse_course] Is Hanging Upside Down Good for your Back?

"What's more, dangling upside down can result in some unpleasant side effects including headaches or bleeding into the retina." [ http://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA38889/ ]. I also looked up 'petechiae' which Patricia mentioned: "Bleeding that consists of pinpoint dots of blood is called petechiae." [ http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003235.htm ]. I seem to remember reading somewhere that in the Gesta Danorum, Ermenricus (=OIc. Jörmunrekkr) treats his prisoners in the same way. As the Old English poem says of him, "þæt wæs grim cyning." | |||
