I'm asphyxiating just looking at that.

I'll just stick with my "Han Solo frozen in carbonite" ice cube trays, thanks.

It looks like there could be a breathing tube leading from his nose, down toward his armpit, pressed inside the vacuum bag.

@3, yes there is - you can clearly see it in the other photos if you follow the link. still, though, my worst nightmare!

You can do this with your kid, a large garbage bag, and a vacuum cleaner. Only the kid's head and shoulders stay out of the bag the the whole time.

Am I the only one that immediately thought of Fnarf's gold condom suit?

I apologize.

"Am I the only one that immediately thought of Fnarf's gold condom suit?"

No you are not. My first thought was Fnarf in his medium while listening to Hendrix's
"One Rainy Wish"

"Why?", you may ask. Frankly, I have no coherent idea. It's autumn, or what passes for autumn, in Seattle. Does that begin to explain it?

Fnarf, your thoughts?

Geez, people, vacbeds have been around forever. Search "vacbed" on YouTube if you don't believe me.

Yeah, I immediately though of Fnarf, and then of: http://video.adultswim.com/robot-chicken…

"Your hands are up there almost like you're beggin'. Beggin' for a little piece of Boba... "

That Fnarf pic is a vac-mask?? I thought it was an Oscar he'd won (or something)...

My first crsuh was Barney Rubble.

Actually, this works for me. I'd totally do this if a kinky friend had one. It looks like a fun fetish to try. Not one I'd spend $400+ on, but if I knew someone that had one, and invited me to try it, I would.

Oh, and I had a crush on Luke Skywalker way back when. *soon*

They usually have, like... a breathing tube, though. Oh wait, I see that now. Rephrase, they usually have a mouth-hole.

@12 - Go to a BDSM club and make friends... Someone inevitably has a rig that they will share with you or do to you...

Hi! I'm Marika from Kink Engineering... the girl in most of the photos on those galleries. ;)

Just wanted to chime in here with a note on safety: This is our most intense vacbed, and in this picture, it's made to look as though there's no breathing apparatus (we were really going for the Han Solo look!). But as stated above, there is a breathing tube! If you look closely, you can see it near his hand on the right of the image.

As for the vacbed experience, it's not all about claustrophobic encounters. It's about being immobilized. Some people (who aren't claustrophobic) find it fun to have their head immobilized inside. Others like having their head outside the bed: http://www.kinkengineering.com/galleryst…

Ultimately, it's about having fun, being helpless and most importantly BEING SAFE with a trusted partner! If you're interested in learning more, check out our blog here: http://kinkengineering.tumblr.com/

Sorry! That link to a head-out vacbed got cut off. How about we try shortening it http://tinyurl.com/headoutvacbed
