interesting to read, that partially tingling limbs, hands, etc. are said to be more dangerous than the usual full-part-tingling.
For me, any tingling is a warning, because I don't know exactly, what will come next. As far as I know, the next step to tingling hands are numb hands, and these are very bad in rope self bondage.

Oh yes...
..and yes for me too. I've always been very careful and stopped straight away if I ever felt the first tingling, but I've also managed to seriously bruise my upper arm with a single rope that wasn't especially tight and also damaged some ligaments/tendons in my right hand by struggling too vigorously when trying to escape before the release mechanism operated (in that case the ice hadn't melted) - that injury still comes back from time to time.

I often bottom in rope suspension and these are all good points. Even with precautions you have to be careful. My rope top is quite experienced and I've been her rope bottom for almost 3 years. 2 months ago she was suspending me (like many times in the past) trying a new tie and even though we always communicate well, I did get some nerve damage end ended up with drop wrist for about a week in my right hand. (Luckily I'm ambidextrous and write with my left hand.) In this picture (

She had the pressure off of it in less than a minute but the damage was done. It would have been a lot worse if had happen in self bondage (which I do at times) and it took a while for me to get out if I could. With a drop wrist, that hand it almost useless at untying or even using a pair of scissors. I did see my (kink friendly) doctor about it and she said it could take a week to a month or longer to heal. Fortunately I'm a quick healer.
