Yeah.

It was used to torture heretics, witches, and anyone else that stepped out of the very fine line of living in medieval times.

Yeah, like, what could you do?

Basically, it's like, you had a bad day, and now you're...

In the Strapido.

It was used a lot during the Spanish Inquisition.

That was a fucked up time.

It was a time.

It was a moment.

It was a day.

There were three main ways in which this was administered.

The first one was the victim's arms are tied behind their backs with a rope.

Yeah, no.

And then the rope is attached to a pulley system, and the victim is lifted into the air with their arms inverted, which they then dislocate violently behind them.

Now, the second method is basically the same as the first, except the victims would be stopped in midair several times to increase the pain and suffering.

They would also cause the victim to jerk around so that they would effectively break the shoulders.

Because who needs shoulders?

Like, that's... Yeah, that's no joke.

That's pain.

And then the third method was kind of the same as the first two, except this time they, you know, just add a weight to your ankles so that you'd really get your joints ripped apart.
