Same side double thigh wrap hang

From Silkworms

same side knee hook double thigh wrap hang:

(closed catcher's hang)

from same side single thigh wrap hang, instead of releasing the tail re-grab with the same-side hand at the hip, play out a second loop of fabric between the hands, and bend the bottom leg and thread the second loop over the knee like you did the first.

the second wrap adds a lot more friction; this is a stable hands-free rest position and you won't slide unless your form is very sloppy (note hips not at all square in the photo, but she's hanging and not sliding). it is also a set-up position for several dives.
