One thing I have - thankfully - not seen is strappado with the model/victim hoisted up with weight(s) attached to their ankles. I did read one account of witch torture where a weight of "fifty pounds" was used and the victim was dropped and jerked up as many as EIGHT times . I couldn't even imagine that.True, it can lead to permanent shoulder injuries.
Drawings and paintings (Bessonov) show the weights, but can't show the terrible aftermath.
