ligature point not high enough?

[ifihadnever]

Hi there,

So, I didn't want to go hanging method but it's looking like my only option, I read so many stories of people not able to get a partial hanging to work and currently I'm not sure I could get it to work either. So was looking at full suspension, the only 'high' ligature point in my house is only about a foot taller than I am, is there anyway I could get that to work or it just wouldn't be high enough I would assume? Just thought I'd ask before I start having to look outside of the house or potentially looking into a partial which I'm unsure I would succeed in.

Thanks for any help!

Remember that when you apply your full weight, the rope may stretch slightly, so you'll need to take this into account. As long as your feet don't touch the ground, it's full suspension.

Always test that your anchor point and rope are strong and can support your full weight.

In partial hanging, the more of your weight you can apply, the better. The best positions would be standing/ with your body sitting in the air with your legs forward/ kneeling.

If your anchorpoint is something like a horizontal bar, like a pull up bar, full suspension would work. You only have to tie the ligature very tight around the neck and this horizontal bar, as if it is a tourniquet with the stick to twist, but you dont twist it, you hang from this stick. If you would use a noose, you would drop about 20 cm, because the circumference of your neck will be reduced about this lenghts when the noose tightens. The elongation of the rope is normally negligible.
