Help How much weight can a celling fan hold??

How much weight can a fan hold of a person hanging from it before it breaks down???

It depends on the weakest link between fan, pole, mounts, etc.

It could be as little as 5kg or as much as 100kg

not much, coming from someone who used to clean homes, they're very flimsy

How can i find the weakest link??

It's impossible to say but you can easily test it.

Tie a rope to it, hold it with your hands and swing freely. If it holds for some time it's probably strong enough for hanging, too.

I highly doubt a shitty ceiling fan made out of crappy sheet and pot metal is going to be strong enough to support human weight, even a small person's weight.

Just get a doorway pullup bar,don't risk it.

I tested my ceiling fan now I'm in trouble.

I wouldn't trust a ceiling fan. I thought of getting one for my house and did a lot of reading and videos on how to install. They're not meant to support much weight.

I'm hotels some will have breakaway ceiling fans or lights on can't support your weight

I did tried to test it by hanging from neck but only for 3-4 secs

How do you "test" it by HANGING from your NECK?

I did tie the knot and everything but kept the height a bit low and had a bunk bed on the side and i did kick the stool away and was hanging for 2-3sec and then held onto the bunk bed's railing and removed the rope and got down

Ok...... Maybe it will hold you. Could also tie a weight of some type equivalent to your weight and see if it will hold it longer term.

Also, it's the summertime. You're going to need that fan to cool you down. Don't risk breaking it.

How does the doorway pull-up bar work for full suspension. Am I dense, is there enough height for the loop and the body in a standard door height? Maybe I'm dense

OP didn't specify full suspension. Doorway pull up bar works well for partial hanging.

Up to them to decide anyway regardless.

If you want to do full suspension, get an actual pull up bar which is installed with drills on the wall. So then you can install it a few feet above your height on the wall. Voila.

Ah okay. I can't do that. (Lack skills, plus can't damage my own home and hotel seems problematic). So you agree pull up bar in door frame isn't enough clearance for full? (I just think SI would get me in partial)
