This is horrifying. As someone who's not that tall, I'd never even consider this (though I did fondly enjoy the Brady Bunch episode as a kid where Bobby tries to get taller by hanging upside down).

Haven’t heard about that - I thought that was niche for kids who are like <3rd percentile for height
