You mentioned that you have documented these lifts, but as a moderator your posting history is quite long. Could you briefly sketch the circumstances? How do you safeguard the woman against injuries with such a big difference?

If you look back through the session thread most of my lifts are there. Regardless of size the best way to safeguard against injury is to just stabilize yourself and don't move around, I use the ceilings or walls to help with that. I don't hold any of my weight but just putting the flats of your palms on the ceiling to help keep your weight from shifting makes a huge difference. I also let the lady dictate the pace, as long as she is comfortable it will be a lot easier. I've been told by many that I'm actually easier to lift then many of the guys much smaller then me because I balance my weight well.

No cradles, and only a handful of front lifts. I'm sure that quite a few could have done the front lift but to be honest I prefer them to save their strength and energy for shoulder rides as it's my favorite. For cradles I'm pretty broad across the chest and shoulders and most of the women strong enough to try had big chests and short arms making it difficult to get across my wide body.
