Hanging survivors?

[Tesseract]

Have anyone of you survived full suspension? If I can't get nembutal this will be my method so I'm wondering how painfull it was. If you have tried partial how does the pain compare to full? Where did you place the knot and what rope did you use?

Tried partial. Had the knot on the left side of my neck. Rope was about 10mm thick, not sure what type since it was just one around the house.

It was uncomfortable but not excessively painful for me. After a few minutes I started to get blurry vision and hear ringing in my ears, as well as my face going numb. Sadly the survival instinct kept kicking in, making me stand up and things like that. I found it quite hard to get enough pressure on the artery fast enough to pass out.

Full suspension is almost certainly more painful since your body weight is supported entirely by the head/jaw, but it eliminates your survival instincts stopping you from carrying out partial.

I did partial from a bath rod. Went unconscious pretty quick and it actually felt like falling asleep with warm waves taking over, quite peaceful actually. Then I woke up with a bump on my head and my brother standing over me. The rod broke so I face planted into the tub. I don't know how long I was out but I know for sure now when you lose consciousness you won't feel a thing.

I've tried partial too, my head felt like it would explode and it ringed, got blurry and my heart beat was really loud. Several minutes went by, but I never passed out and eventually gave up due to the pain. I know it will be painfull to do full but I can't go through with partial and don't have many other options.

Honestly you have to be kind of violent and use all of your body weight to help you knock out quickly. If you're just easing into dropping it will take forever

Your head felt like exploding cause you were pressing against the jugular not the carotid i think.

I doubt your going to find many cases on failed full suspension attempts. Besides the beam or whatever other fixture point breaking. Someone interrupting you. Rope breaking. Theirs not much of a reason to fail.

That being said. I can certainly see how someone could make some miscalculations. *coughs* Like I did. I had a 3 foot drop below me. Quicked out chair. And even though I didn't think their was that much slack. Apparently their was. And apparently cotton rope stretches way more than I could of imagined. especially, with the full weight of my body. I ended uup with my toes on the floor. I did have knot on the back of my neck. And I try to place the rope on my carotid arteries.

I thought screw it. I just have to pull through the pain. The choking. The pressure in my head. The agonizing pain of my neck. It's just pain, I can get through this I thought. But I wasn't passing out. I wasn't getting blurred vision. I just remained choking. Felt like someone was stepping on my windpipe. And eventually after a couple of minutes, I just couldn't take the pain anymore. Plus, it was pointless since I wasn't passing out.

At least from that, I learned three important things. Pretighten noose around neck as much as possible. So it's less likely to move from the position you put it. Even though you think have hae little slack, s in distance from noose around your neck, to fixture point, even if you think you have very little, make sure theirs as little slack as possible. even if it's more difficult to get your head inside the noose. Or if not I'd almost say to put the noose around neck first, and then attaching to fixture. So theirs even less slack. The less elasticity your rope has, the better. I ordered me some static climbing rope this time. Which ihas only 3 percent elasticity.

So, even though I failed. And was left with some bad ass neck pain. I should of done a better job with my set up. Hanging is extremely simple and effective. But it's important to pay attention to little details.

P. S. I still find it crazy how much stretch that cotton rope had.

Were you putting all of your weight down on the rope? Like did you lift yourself off your feet? Do you think you would have survived had you not been on your toes? How long did you have a mark on your neck?

Tried full suspension from a tree and the branch broke, hanged there for 30s I think. Agree with @piratemaverick about the feeling. I felt like falling asleep at beginning, then a little panic like you are having a nightmare. What I need to warn everyone is that brain damage can happen within seconds with full suspension. I used to have very sharp memory and after the hanging it was gone.

Why weren't you able to pass out? What ligature type and size did you use?

I used padded belt.
Well I did not pass out and knew what I was doing right initially, but that did not last long. I lost conscious in seconds I think, although the process felt like hour long. It is hard to describe it. The felling was very real, like when you are half awake and have a dream.

Those are going to be rare.

How thick was the branch?

Like the arm of gym rats. I think it had more to do with what kind of tree I tried with.
