Will my FSH setup work?

[silentroom123]

Oh okay, sounds soon if your dad is coming and checking the sand bag though. I hope the rope will hold same with the anchor. I was more worried about the anchor than the rope. I never heard that it needs to be 10 times and would have no clue where to find it so I hope it works. I watched so many videos and some people use scarves that look very thin, sari's, very thin rope so I hope it's good.

This is my rope, 1/2 inch dock line

 

[sickofeverything]

For critical life-support applications they use ropes that have working load limit 10 times more than person weight so that it doesn't snap 100%, because otherwise that person will fall and damage himself or die. People doing it with scarves may be lucky so if we want to remove any chance of failure we should make the setup more solid than that, to not rely on luck. To be honest my rope is a fucking overkill, 3300 kg breaking strength rope with EN1891 type A certificate which means that it was tested for life-safety situations and it knots well and will not break 100%.

I only really have access to the things available on Uber Eats Home Depot/Lowe's which makes it harder for me to get a variety of rope. I do see warnings that when there is a knot the rope can be weaker but this was the best I found that could be delivered. I found another one also 12 mm but working load of 250 which is less or 244 lb. Every other rope is also thinner. I absolutely understand removing chance of failure and want to be as safe with this as possible to be one, down, out and done quick painless and easy but this is the best rope I could get my hands on, originally I was going to use a bathrobe string I was so desperate. I felt so good and confident and now I'm worrying. I can't tell if we're overthinking it because I have watched so many videos posted here and their ropes all seems so thin that I thought mine being a good more than double my weight limit was going to be fine now I'm stressed

Maybe this didn't show up on uber because I was searching for rope not dock line, idk it might just not be available for delivery for me. Is dock line at all comfortable compared to the other rope anyway? I'd assume it'd be stiffer and harder to use for a noose

Ok then, you can test is as much as you want to build confidence for the rope. The double overhand stoppers will make slipping almost impossible and the knots will not come undone or loosen so the only thing is that anchor and the rope should be able to hold your weight with all kinds of shaking and if so it's a good setup and I hope you will not choke and suffocate to death and instead just feel like its a leap into a void like sleeping or fainting.

I tried pulling down with my weight and shaking more than I think I can even do when I actually thrash since the rope is partially against a wall not just fully free hanging and it seems to hold. I also hope it will be a fainting and sleeping situation but I have time left to keep testing it for a bit

Good luck! I hope you find peace. Oh shit i tried again i wanted my vision to fully go dark then when it did i tried to stand to loosen the noose but by legs just didnt work and i fall back and thrashed that was kinda scary

I have time before I try but thank you, I hope we can both find peace as painlessly as possible. Be careful practicing, I saw somewhere that a lot of successful fsh happen in practice not the real attempt, I assume the same can happen with just practice. I kind of want to practice again to see if I can have vision go dark at all since I only had tingly lips and hearing waver but I'm not ready for the trial to be the final right this second

Well that was just practice with pulling the rod down. This time I pulled it as much as I could despite the pain of rope pushing on the neck to see if i can make the vision completely dark and that just happened. I dont think that would end up in something terrible. Also I dont see any problem of practice becoming successful fsh, just worried of it becoming failed fsh.

You must be strong to get to that point using your arms and strength to go through the pain with your will.
Yeah I can see that, for me I worry about practice becoming successful due to my cats and rescheduling my messages to send earlier/later so family can come get them and they'll be okay and fed.

Yeah I dont have that problem as I dont live with pets and will not send any messages to anyone. Will just die without any explanations

Ah I see, do you plan to leave a note? Or just have your parent walk in one day and notice? Do you know how long it took you to get completely dark vision? Also was it painful or long to go from close to passing out to actual thrashing? Kind of odd that you noticed the thrashing but weren't unconscious, how was it? Were your legs tingly or just completely unresponsive?

No I will not leave a note. I don't really care of what will happen after my death. Just want to leave the existence I never asked for. Sorry I didn't really count time I was just doing it to see how it feels like and if I will be able to do that. It wasn't terribly painful just like regular pain on neck from the rope putting pressure, just like when you put pressure on your hand or something. Well by thrashing I meant like shaking a bit, because I was trying to use my leg's muscles and they were so weak from the rope on the neck and it resulted in thrashing of the legs.

Okay, I understand, not trying to be rude sorry for asking. Thank you for answering, interesting that your legs shook without you passing out

They shook because I was voluntarily trying to use them they listened to me for a second and then stopped, something like that

Oh you don't mean the shaking once we pass out, I see, you mean from almost passing out not the thrashing we do when it happens

 

[Lextyle]

Yeah that was just some strange experience, that was not similar to convulsions I just couldn't use my legs to stand up and loosen the noose. They were shaking when I was trying to use them but I couldn't continuously use the muscles and stand up they were extending in a weak, shaking way. It was a bit scary but nothing terrible happened I don't even see a rope burn.

I guess the blood flow was slowed, did your hearing or vision change at all? If your legs got affected did your arm strength change since you used your arms to push the bar down it seems like no right?

I mean yeah I said that my vision gone almost completely dark, not sure about hearing they were no sounds. The arm strength thing is also interesting to me, maybe there is some difference in trying to stand and pulling with your hands. You certainly know that because you told feeling like fainting when you stand up quick.

Idk when I stand up and feel faint I have to either freeze fully to not hit the floor or actually kneel on the ground if stopping movement isn't enough. It feels like the world is spinning and my head is going backwards so I just stop, unsure if that's what you felt. Was it peaceful at least? Calm? Not scary?

No I mean you know that there is difference in standing and just pulling with hands, when you stand different things happen and probably when i stood up something happened so that my legs started behaving like they are very tired after long training in the gym and shake when i try to use them. It was peaceful i think I was just scared a bit when i fall back on the chair and couldn't continuously extend the legs. When the vision starts going dark and head feels very light and I kinda feel very tired and faint I actually kinda like that it's like wanting to sleep deeply after a long stressful day.
Also did you attempt or practice yet?

 

[chaoschuckler]

can someone review my setup please, will this work?

 

[Lextyle]

i would personally put something heavy, like anything equivalent to a sandbag, over it's 'feet' so there's less of a risk of it falling over if you do struggle/body convulses, it looks like it could possibly tilt

Thank you for suggestion! I placed 4 sandbags each 18 kg on it's 'feet' and it stands on the ground not tilting. I think my setup is ready.

How are you feeling now that's it's ready? I just stayed up all night getting my rope the right length for my anchor point which is a tree in my backyard, I think I got it right but it was 3am dark and scared I was going to get caught. Right there with ya

Well It doesn't tilt no matter how much I shake or swing. The buntline hitch on pull up bar works great it jams into it and doesn't move and the noose is as high as possible with double overhand stopper which will not shake loose and slip. So I don't see any problem with the setup, do you have something on mind? What do you mean by getting the rope right length?

Sounds like the setup is solid. My chair under the branch puts me close to it so my 25ft rope is way too long, I want there to be as little slack as possible so I needed a test run last night to get the rope to a suitable length for my setup and to see if the height of the chair is good enough. I've already got a blacked out outfit with a balaclava so I should blend it to the darkness, I even spray painted a zip tie black that I will use to bind my legs. My setup is coming together but I still need to wait a few weeks. When do you think you'll attempt?

well I have 33 ft rope and the pull up bar has 7' 3" height, but i just leave the excess rope hanging on the side. So don't really understand what is the problem with excess rope? I don't know when I will attempt, will test everything this night and hang as soon as I am mentally prepared for it which is probably very soon.
Here is how it looks:

I think for me the rope being a better length is more convenient that's all, if you can deal with the excess rope were it doesn't impact anything then it's fine. Well I hope you have safe travels when it's time

 

[Lextyle]

What side should i face for hanging on my pull up bar? long feet side vs short feet side. Holy shit I got a great idea, I should face the long feet side, get on the bar in the photo lean forward after some time I will gonna feel fainting and my legs will become weak and I will naturally fall. Life hack for SI. Yeah...It was really hard to drop from the chair...

it's no problem, feels weird to say my usual "glad to help" under these circumstances, but i wouldn't want you to have to suffer with any pain of attempting and messing up if it's what you've fully decided. your setup looks pretty solid now

What side should i face for hanging on my pull up bar? long feet side vs short feet side

this i am unsure of, maybe the direction you are supposed to be facing when actually doing pull ups, iirc the longer feet side may be the back? it makes sense in my brain thinking of the physics of it, but i may be wrong. but with the bags in place it may not matter as much? maybe someone knows better than me


i really wish the best for you and hope you find peace; however form that may take that feels right to you. and when/if you go through with this, i hope it's quick and painless, you dont deserve any more pain on top of what's brought you to this option

I practiced with the crème and it was tolerable, no coughing but no sleeping feeling so I plan to attempt soon using the numbing crème beforehand and hoping that I pass out with the new rope

When I try to lean off my chair and put my weight down to get light headed and fall of the chair naturally when I pass out nothing happens for me, it tightens but I have never gotten close enough to passing out to fall off the chair sadly
