A member asked:
Can i grow taller by hanging upside down with rope tied on my ankle just like how african neck rings stretch necks? i'm not concerned about injuries

Nope, won't work: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the way your legs grow through growth plates within the ends of the shafts of the bones make it so your proposed method would not work. You can't stretch out those growth plates to make yourself taller, and the bone that is already there won't stretch - its like trying to stretch steel or wood - to rigid to be amenable to that. Accept what your height is.
