Did this method of torture actually exist?

I read about it before, but I'm not sure if it actually exists.

You dangle a prisoner at a height where his or her feet can almost touch the ground. In this way the prisoner will be driven crazy from endlessly trying escape.

Weird question, sorry, but I though it was really absurd and I was wondering if it really exists.

Thanks!

    I think it does. It sounds like the method used by Bush to interrogate people, something akin to waterboarding

    Hope this helps
