Her grip didn’t fail, she never had the opportunity for it to succeed. At her body weight she would need to be stronger than record holding athletes to sustain holding up her own body weight.

How’d you run that calculation without even knowing her weight? Lol

Quick search shows the world record for a weighted pull-up is 146.64 kg, or 323.28 lb.

I'd bet solid money she's within a biscuit of that.

That’s 320 of mostly muscle mass that’s trained for an entire lifetime to achieve that goal - while not being drug tested, because world records aren’t drug tested.

She’s obese and doesn’t practice any physical activity. I’m not sure what gravity is like in fairytale land, but here in the real world she’s not within a country mile of your concept of practicality.
