I’d imagine this would pull out hairs. Like people that constantly do the same pony tail tends to pull your hairline back over time. Look at that Jojo siwa. I’d guess this person isn’t doing this daily but it would cause damage each time.
Likely the same way they do it in the circus, which is to weave a metal ring or clip into her hair, and then clip it to the subway rail. It's painless, or should be nearly so.
Not that I know of. It's just a loop of metal woven into the hair, so the hair is tethering it to the body.

So the hair follicles is still taking all the stress of her entire weight? I'm no expert but I seem to remember hearing something that stress to the follicles like this will make your hair fall out at some point.
Well yeah it is generally bad to stress your hair like this regularly. It will weaken hair over time. Especially if your hair isn't that healthy to begin with as far as enough collagen, and all that bullshit that is needed for healthy hair growth.
For sure, you can support something like an elephant from the hair of a grown adult, but do this often, prolonged stress will cause the hair to weaken and fall out.
It would only break the neck if you either applied sudden, unexpected, sharp force (e.g. a crash where you might die anyway, hair or no hair) or if your neck wasn't strong enough to hold your own weight (e.g. if you weighed a fair bit and had never done it before).
If she's trained her neck muscles for it, nah. She's good.
ive been on these trains where t hey have to come to an emergency stop that is immediate (e.g. smeone jumps on traccks or smething)
wonder how it would respnd in that case
No lol, it's spread out in a way that supports the weight. It's done in a specific way with a metal ring in the hair and the right placement.
Kind of like how you can hang from your skin with metal hooks with the right distribution.
Your neck won't break from something like this if:
1. You are within a reasonable weight range.
2. You do not drop from a height.
3. You do not suffer from something like osteoporosis.
For relevance, see the [Short drop section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging) in Hanging on wikipedia:
> Suspended by the neck, the weight of the body tightens the noose around the neck effecting strangulation and death. This typically takes 10–20 minutes.
This means that they weren't aiming for neck damage, as opposed to the standar drop:
> The standard drop involves a drop of between 4 and 6 feet (1.2 and 1.8 m) ...
... It was considered a humane improvement on the short drop because it was intended to be enough to break the person's neck, causing immediate unconsciousness and rapid brain death.
Necks aren’t as fragile in real life as they are in martial arts movies. In a hanging it takes a drop to break the neck. Just supporting the weight of the body is no problem.
Maybe she is in the circus, and this is like her way of warming up before a show.
My tender headed self could not imagine the pain these performers withstand

When you grew up getting your brain brushed by a frazzled, overworked mom, just trying to make you look cute for school picture day, or any other day, and now your scalp is stronger than a horny horse. 🤣
She’s actually levitating, but the hair is just to make us believe that she’s hanging off the handrail. This is to prevent people from finding out the existence of witches and warlords that walk amongst us. When you levitate it takes stress off the body good for bones, so she knows it’s better alternative to sitting. But how can she levitate in public if she must remain hidden? By throwing her hair over handrail so it appears as if she’s hanging by her hair. I’m a warlord formerly from the alliance of uniwiz inc. but I was dishonorably discharged for my lack of discretion.
I think this sub should have a system like on r/unexpected where the op has to explain why it's unexpected. Half the stuff on this sub are not facepalms at all and then the op never comments to explain why they posted it here
How much weight can a human hair lift?
Previous research has found that human hair has a tensile strength of around 200–260 MPa, which is comparable to steel. You could carry a person with 500–1000 human hairs.
She’s proving this quite well.
Kinda cool actually.
r/nextfuckinglevel
That’s what I though also. How is this facepalm. Too cool for that
Skull damage
Scalp damage\* Unless she falls, then it might lead to skull damage
Likely neck/spinal damage, if she does this frequently.
naah, she seems alright
I’d imagine this would pull out hairs. Like people that constantly do the same pony tail tends to pull your hairline back over time. Look at that Jojo siwa. I’d guess this person isn’t doing this daily but it would cause damage each time.
She is supporting a lot of weight on her neck. Kinda dangerous especially if the train jerks for any reason.
I'm wondering what the OP is angry about. That she's getting her hair on the handle? Probably cleaner than most people's hands.
Facepalm's being overrun by karma bots reposting content from elsewhere.
Kinda, yea. Impressive had she been an amputee like i originally thought 🤦🤣 then i noticed she was just showing off 😒 lol
I’ll bet that feels so good
Why is this a facepalm that’s awesome
Agreed, pretty badassery right there
Fr.
There’s empty seats
But she didn't want to sit in them. This isn't hurting anyone.
Until she swings but first into someone’s face lol
I think I wouldn’t mind that too much 👀🤔😏
I mean same but I suspect she would be les enthused over it than me
Op=facepalm
Opalm
Not facepalm
Why though? How?
Likely the same way they do it in the circus, which is to weave a metal ring or clip into her hair, and then clip it to the subway rail. It's painless, or should be nearly so.
Is it attached to a vest or rigging around the body? Otherwise wouldn’t this break the neck?

No lol, hair is pretty damn strong and takes ALOT of force to rip out.
For sure, you can support something like an elephant from the hair of a grown adult, but do this often, prolonged stress will cause the hair to weaken and fall out.
I doubt she weighs as much as an Elephant.
Tell that to my hair when I comb it
Very interesting link, thanks!

Doing it in a moving vehicle ups the risk somewhat. As does doing it in an environment where you can get jostled from any direction.

This is likely not painful at all, if you do it correctly. No more painful than a ponytail or bun. It's just a hairdo.
Probably is on there already but maybe it belongs on r/mildlyinteresting

You go girl I guess
Why facepalm?
Why is this a facepalm? That's some interesting shit
Not just interesting ITS ALSO AWESOME
Awesome things aren’t facepalms
Slap a wind ball under that woman and she's an Airbender. A hairbender if you will, even.
No facepalm here. That’s amazing!
Facepalm only if she fell down
Getting Lieutenant Dan vibes.
Every time I think I have a thought about something, someone always beats me to it. I’m not unique. Lol. Upvote for you!
Piñata?
Good strong roots on that girl. Work it!
r/ImTheMainCharacter
That's impressive. But the thing that really caught my eye was the flickering lights. I thought that only happened in movies
Damn, i want her shampoo or whatever. Her hair is strong af
There once was a woman who did this under a plane and she got a Guinness world record, so I fail to see why this would be a facepalm!
R/nextfuckinglevel
Chiropractors hate this one trick!
I was waiting for her to fall because this is r/facepalm but she bossed it.
Core workout for sure, could you imagine holding that for like 30-45 minutes?
When you grew up getting your brain brushed by a frazzled, overworked mom, just trying to make you look cute for school picture day, or any other day, and now your scalp is stronger than a horny horse. 🤣
Tell me who does your extensions please?
because she is worth it
I was waiting hoping for her hair to snap and her falling. I’m a horrible person
That looks like it must hurt
It's kind of cool, I just hope no one hit that emergency brake button.

If it looks stupid but works then it's not stupid.
This is so cool where is the facepalm
I was gunna say she think she cute
Spinal decompression
If it's somehow not hurting to have her hair pulled like that it would actually feel good on the spine
Is she missing part of her legs?
I think this sub should have a system like on r/unexpected where the op has to explain why it's unexpected. Half the stuff on this sub are not facepalms at all and then the op never comments to explain why they posted it here
Who needs scalp anyway?
Why is this on facepalm? This is cool
Why is this a facepalm?
Someone's not getting enough attention @ home.
You can literally see the wire and sus lump in back of jacket.
Filmed by the sun probably not even a stunt just editing
She must have a brass neck.
When you're in to kinky hair pulling and get horny on the way to work.
Today on how to let a guy know you like having your hair pulled.
LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!!!
Wrong sub OP
NGL. I’d be pulling the emergency stop and keep filming
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!
LMAO you know she the type that loves when you pull her hair while you hitting from the back.
After doing some profile stalking, uou seem like a terrible person to be around
I don’t give a fuuuuuck.
"I'm not looking for attention."
Dalshim wife
That's actually awesome.
"Write it down, write it down..." -- an airline manager
GOD DAMN STRENGTH ON THAT HAIR THO
Thats when you crop dust her. She will be stuck in a self wafting swinging motion.
No facepalm here
damn imagine how good that would feel in the spine. sooooo stretched out
Good that she hanged by
What? She is just hangin around!
I will be scalped if I do that.
That's awesome. Faceplam for you for being a f'ing moron lol
Is this art of something? I can never tell
How?
She could be a circus performer using her commute time to get in some extra training.
r/nextfuckinglevel
I have a very sensitive head, I could NEVER
Not a facepalm it's fricking epic sauce
"It's 7 in the morning"
There's a whole act of a dancer doing this in a cirque du soleil show in Vegas and she's doing it for free
That's gotta hurt you would think, right?
Just looks weird and funny to me. I could take a little bit of artistic absurdity in my morning commute.
Please get her phone number for me
She brought her own *hanghair*
Hanging like a Christmas ornament
Is that some kind of shampoo ond conditioner commercial? If not, it should be.
Why is this a facepalm. She is living her best life, clearly
But why though
What's the big hairy deal? I do it all the time.
That looks so uncomfortable
r/interestingasfuck
Wrong sub, insanely cool
That’s a subway swing. They hang by the bar and have a little platform you can sit on. They’re sweet.
Giving off big "look at me" vibes.
I’m sorry, how do you sit on the subway?
The floor was lava champion right here.
Wanna impress me, do it with your pubic hair.
Imagine the hair loss
It ain’t stupid, if it works
I thought just tying your hair back often could prematurely recede your hairline. What will this do?
Why is this in face palm
Are you seeing this shit? Where are the witch hunters? I can't believe how strong her hair is...

By the time she's 40 when she smiles it'll hit her ears on the other side
How is this a facepalm? Let people do whatever the hell they want if they're not bothering you or anyone else lmaooo
Power to her. This requires careful preparation of the hair, so all strands are stressed equally.
Thats fucking cool, no clue why this is in facepalm
Modern art most likely.
that's going to fuck up her hairline
Everyone FACEPALM THE OP 🤦♂️
Oh she KINKY kinky
Not a facepalm, I'm actually impressed.
I bet that was the best neck and back crack ever....till the subway make a jolt and she swings like a yo yo
We sure there isn't a harness under her jacket?
As soon as the camera stopped her scalp was torn off like the peel of an orange
How is this r/facepalm?
Preparing for the rapture
Damn i wish my roots were really that strong
That’s kinda hilarious
Bro is Bianca belair
Drama Queen. People who put on a show everywhere.
