That reminded me of the Ripley's Believe it or not episode that I watched.
It was horrible, this grown man had meat hooks inserted all over his body and was suspended from a helecopter, with nothing holding him on appart from the meat hooks! The helecopter then took off and flew over the Hollywood sign and back to the initial take off point all with this guy suspended from the bottom by just meat hooks *shudders* and he lived :S

There was also another episode that I saw where there were a few people who made a human mobile by suspending themselves from the arms of the massive mobile again by meat hooks :S
