THE HANDLEBARS For added convenience and safety, a set of Handlebars (6) has been added to the inversion table. These Handlebars (6) are located at the top of the Rear Frame (8). The Handlebars (6) are there to help you return to the upright position from any degree of inversion. If you wish to return to the upright position, and the backrest is moving too slowly, or not moving at all, simply grab the Handlebars (6) and pull on them until you return to the upright position.
