A hidden anchor point for secret agent training, or maybe just the world's most intense game of indoor hopscotch. Definitely not for anything suspicious, wink wink.
Why are everyone giving explainations of what this can be used for ? He/she asked what it is is, not what it could be used for... Doesnt anyone know that ?
my exact thought process was. “Well, it could be for a, nah dirty mind. that is the same kind of mount you use for a punching bag, so they could have had one for a home gym setup…. oh middle of the bedroom so it IS for that first thing, i was right!”
Venezuelan here: it could be an “alcayata” which is a professional wall-mounted (or roof-mounted in this case) metal loop to securely tie a hammock and prevent an accident…..or its what you people say, you perverts
I kid you not, my parents rigged up a (normal, playground type) swing in our basement for a while when the house was new and we hadn't yet had much time to move much into it. I have no idea if it was safe, but it was fun.
Not to be a downer or anything, but in addition to kinky stuff it could well be for accessibility aids. Like, partially paralyzed people often have a handle above their bed to assist them into a mobility device that needs to support a large fraction of their weight, or may even need to mount a winch depending on their disability.

I only need to know what those fasteners are screwed in to and what load it can safely hold. :)

Officially it's for a boxing sand bag.
... But we all know it's not used for that lol!
mrthewhitee
It's for attaching to the center of a canopy bed, to keep the middle part from sagging.

For some reason my mind instantly went "oh that is to hang the meat to cure" until i read it was in a bedroom.
Sonicschilidogs
It would get more use, at least for me, hanging and curing meat.

It’s for a fun bedroom swingset! Sometimes it’s too hot to swing outside so bring the fun of a playground swingset into your home!
xzinik
i'm pretty sure gord could have designed an indoor swing with the same type of padding as his office chair or that one swing that he made once
MegaweaponOfTheLostWorld
Genuinely, that sounds like a lot of fun.

If you have access, it'd be best to add blocking from that joist to the two adjacent joists to minimize the risk of cracking the plaster.

I had a coworker get one of these installed for a silks class she was taking. The contractor did not buy her story.

The kinky stuff are also accessibility aids.
SchlechterName
Well one improves mobility and the other removes mobility.
JohnSatclaire
Idk, there's an argument that, say, a good spreader bar enhances mobility in specific ways.

You can hang plants from that

If you have the right equipment and no morals or ethics it can totally be used to suspend a vegetable.

Or fruits

If you lowered the vegetable very slowly, would you be retarding it?

I think we stopped calling people in comas vegetables a long time ago
