Jesus, you are a big girl. Ok, one or two things about the suspension. If you are an eel (thrasher) you can generate alot of stress (I think like 5 times your weight if I remember it correctly, maybe overstating it, but it is a hell of a lot). So make sure that either you dont do anything untoward or have it built into the deal. make sure that there are plenty of rounds on the attachment points. the sommerville bowline here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqyjgUUxIuU is pretty good as is the similar boola boola: http://rope-topia.com/tutorials/free/video/boola-boola so, for instance lets say your arm is 7" around at the tie point, to be absolutely safe you should have 7" of linear measured rounds at that point. Porbably going to want to double the loops as well. Now, everything is sort of overengineered, but ......bounded faceplants are only funny until you put an eye out.
