There is a risk of asphyxiation of a person hangs upside down for too long. The blood can leave the vessels causing oxygen to not circulate properly. There is not a risk if a person is healthy hanging upside down for short periods of time.

Yes, it is harder to get blood to the lower limbs and that blood is not easily returned from the head and upper body. Thanks!

A person hanging upside down will start losing consciousness in about12 hours. After 24 hours hemorrhages in the head will kill a person.

He will pass out. If he hangs even more, he will die. If he is hanged upside down when dead, his eyes will pop out eventually.
