Which is better, high hang points or low hang points?

Powered Paragliding (PPG) - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently ...
It depends on user preference. Proponents of low hang points say it's more like a free flight (unpowered) harness, and this is only somewhat true--having to balance 45+ pounds of motor/fuel will never allow it to be very much like free-flight. Some say that low hang points allow more weight shift control, and this may be true, but weightshift ability is more a matter of the relative position of the hang points and the machine/pilot's center of gravity (CG).

The hammock hooks that you hang the hammock from should be at least 4 to 5 feet off the ground.

How high should I hang my heavy bag?

Balazs Boxing Online - HELP : PRODUCT FAQS
Consider your heavy bag as your opponent. With that in mind, the bag should be high enough to deliver a blow to the "head", so the top of the bag should be about level with the top of your head. If you have a very short bag, you may need to adjust this height somewhat. Unfortunately, this is normal. The combination of your punches and gravity are causing the contents of the bag to settle to the bottom. The best and maybe only option you have, is to purchase an outer cover for your bag.

If you have a large database, this can take a long, long time. DataVision was changed to avoid having to ask for all tables and columns.
