You should always modify a tie to suit your partner's needs. If you are not sure if the variation will work properly we advise to have a skilled instructor check the variation before suspending. If this is not possible, you can try it out very carefully, with another person spotting you if possible, and paying extra attention to how your tie reacts to being loaded. Communicate with your partner to ask how they feel and be ready go take them down if it does not function the way it should.

We cannot answer in place of the instructor, but generally speaking this is not a "chest loading" harness. It is an arm-loaded box-tie (TK), and even if the front pattern will help distribute the load and add more support it is still an arm-loading tie.

For bamboo used on the body (not as a suspension point), any thin piece will work. You can find bamboo sticks at a gardening store for example! About 3-5cm diameter and 1m length would be fine.

Good question! We have labelled this tie as advanced because this version is designed specifically for suspensions and the pattern is quite intricate. It is perfectly safe to use on the floor if you are more beginner-intermediate level. There is also a much simpler Agura tie for floor play only in the course 'Less is More' and 'Simple Self Ties' in the Beginner Classes category!

Yes this is also possible! Gorgone did it the other way around so the steps of tying the strappado would not be covered or encumbered by the suspension line being in the way.
