Discussion Anyone Failled Hanging?

[squareminus1]

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has any stories about failing haning. I made a post recently about trying full suspension in the woods soon. I want to know if there is anyone who has advice on previous struggles they have had with the method so I know what to try avoid.

I have seen it said a few times here that with full suspenion "once you hang you can't change your mind", but I am less worried about SI more worried about potentially fucking it up. Like what if my knot to the support loosens. It's gonna be from a tree, what if the branch snaps (I did read that tree post so know to do it at a stronf part of the vranch near the trunk but still worry), or the tree could be dead and tip over (id try pick a big tree so that matters less).

I am just extremely nervous, I know the likelyhood is this will be painful no matter how I approach it but if I can just get it right I think I am willing to take that chance. I just feel like I'll mess something up.

Any advice would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

I pm you. Let's discuss this issue. I tried hanging thrice.

Failed partial many many times, I'm unable to even keep track of it now.

I failed fsh very recently, literally last night. My rope was good but the anchor point I used was a little bit too close to the ground so I managed to save myself. I wish I just died.

It is a good method but you need to be certain the rope, anchor, height and alone time are sufficient. This is only an impulse method if you have worked out those details in advance.

This is helpful to know, the trees I have looked at are tall enough for sure, but like still quite low because I need to clumb up to the anchor point.

I'll make sure i try use the right amount of rope so I don't touch the ground/ clear any branches or rocks I can get my foot on or anything.

Thanks, you've given me a lot of advice since I have been here. I know this is a bit weird to say gicen the context but you seem extremely kind. I wish you luck in whatever you want to achieve.

I am going to drink a bit to overcome the impulse hopwfully. Because of the nature of how I am trying I haven't been able to preplan with the heights. I hace picked trees but on the night of I am sneaking out and just trying to wing it from there. I have all the stuff I could potentially need in a gym bag in my room; I am gonna leave hopefully quitely in the middle of the night and try tie up on a tree. The ropes not been weight tested but I cut thw hooks of a rope designed to tow cars so I can imagine it'll easilly support a person.

Can you pm I'm planning to ctb with fsh , i want to know what to and not to do

 

[squareminus1]

I would weight test it on thw night ofc, when I am tying it. Hopefully be able to tie it securely.

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

Yes, I tried partial by using an exercise resistance band.
I just went dizzy and got a huge headache.

 

[ddn.ctb]

Yes the knot failed and opened

Im gonna try make sure I leave enough on the untied end to not have this happen. Thanks for the warning though I'll take extra care.

What type of knot(s) you planning to use on the anchor point? I was thinking of two different knots or two of the same knot and then tie them both off with a basic normal knot and make sure here's at least 1 metre of rope left behind to ensure it doesn't come undone and also use part closest to the trunk as possible, that was already immediately obvious to me and common sense. Really don't want to leave anything to chance with 5is at all. Also have you managed to practice and locate the carotid arteries? I'm curious if you managed to make yourself near pass out

The constrictor knot is very strong. In the end tying a normal knot is a good idea. I've tried it and it doesn't even move.

I'm also searching for tips on how to properly pass out since I almost done it multiple but never really got fully with it. Even if you know where your sweet spot is what do you do in partial hanging to be in the right position/applying enough weight? Also tips for overcoming SI both for partial and full…

For the anchor point a normal kbot is sufficient? And for the neck loop it should be a slip knot as i am right informed. How about the position? Knot behind the left ear should be okay? I saw this in a video.

No, for the anchor point a normal knot will slip. Try the constrictor knot .

Yes for the neck it should be a slipknot. Knot in the back of the neck is the most common but wether it is more on the left or right is personal preference I think.

I was look at bowline knots for the knot to the anchor point, you can add an extra bit of security bt tieing the working end around the knot agian, basically means it would need to untangle itself twice to get out and it probs wont do that.

I was young and 15. I used a towel that let go. Now I would use a proper rope. While a towel might appear to be way to reduce pain now I know that's not true. You have to cut the blood to your brain to past out fast. A wider one. Like a towel might not do that and you end up asphyxiated which is a slow death.

@Mkl97 What!? And you failed? I mean.. of course you did, you are here. Did you try by full suspension?

@squareminus1 Neck knot: Slipknot // Anchor knot: could be bowline, sure // Rope position: somewhere behind you left ear, it needs to be on the other side of the carotid artery // Tip: You could take a small chair with you, then when you drop you know you will not be touching the ground // Test test test before you jump!

I tried partial hanging. The secret is to compress the carotid artery, you just need 2kg of weight to pass out and then die.

 

[Val12345]

I tried hanging today the plan was to go partial first than full I couldn't pass out from partial and it hurt a lot maybe if I continued I might have passed out

I know what the "secret" is, I read a bit about suicide methods and quite a bit more about hanging. I won't go for partial though, I'll go for full suspension.

 

[venomousSSërpent74]

I actually plan to use this method in the future what type of knots to tie and has anyone tried the hang man method for it I also was thinking of putting the rope on a metal piece I was going to buy it supposed to hold a hammock or should i just use a tree sad part is I don't know how to climb a tree. are there any other places to hang a rope i was thinking of the curtain rod for the shower but it will fall most likely. also do belt work at all or is that a complete fail. I have tested it with a belt so that's why i asked don't exactly have high point to jump of off yet or i just might have to invest money into something i can place the rope on.

 

[Cloud Busting]

I failed a hanging attempt on august 28th; full to a tree branch.

I will respond in more depth later when I have time, if you'd like.

@Cloud Busting What went wrong? And how do you feel now, did you suffer brain damage?

Please reconsider…I found your initial post a few days ago. I stumbled upon your post while trying to understand what went through my 14 year old son's mind when he hung himself. There was something about your post that I really connected with…and has been weighing on me since I read it...not sure if it is a supernatural pushing to reach out, but I haven't been able to sleep since. I have thought of your original post daily since reading it. I registered for SS because of your post, was rejected twice, but finally approved. Please reconsider. There is something or some reason…I can't exactly explain it. I just know I wouldn't be okay if I didn't reach out to you. Please reconsider.

@Cloud Busting What went wrong? And how do you feel now, did you suffer brain damage?

So I underestimated the height of the branches and they were too tall for me to reach. A car already pulled up and I rushed to another spot. I found another tree with a branch I could actually reach- but just barely.

It was nearing 7 am, and I had already sent letters and emails so I was in a rush. I had to stand tip-toed on my two-step ladder to reach. The end of the rope I had tied to the branch didn't look secure. I was worried it wasn't tied tightly enough, but I didn't have time to re-adjust it. I decided to risk it. I had to act fast. I didn't want to get caught and have someone cut me down to rescue me. Brain damage was not the goal.

Well, I was right. I lost consciousness very quickly, saw white spots, then thought I was watching a girl in a movie try to bang herself. Next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground. The noose was still snug against my neck, and the rope was still tied to the tree. The string merely loosened and lowered me to the ground until it was no longer constricting my neck.

It took me a second to remember where o was and what I had just done. I checked myself into er. I had no neck or brain damage. I'm doing just fine. I did have a bruise for about a week and it hurt to swallow for a day or two. Otherwise, it's like it never happened. If I would have gone earlier in the morning and tested the ligature by popping my arm into the noose, and had time to play around with more branches, I likely would have succeeded.

I didn't map out every detail and thus did not play my cards right. I wasn't serious about it, I guess. Lol.

@Cloud Busting Oh girl!! Thank you for sharing that with us! I'm happy that your mind is intact! : )

Now this is why I don't want to rush it, this is why I want to do it somewhere where I know I'll be alone for a certain amount of time, this is why I want to do it in the evening, when most people go to sleep. I will also take a good look at the area and do tests.

For the record, you don't have to reach the branches, you can just throw the rope over them.

I'm also planning to write a note and attach it so it is visible on my chest, a note which would ask whoever finds me first to not call anyone, to not take any action for 30 minutes or so, so I can die in peace.

Sorry for such a late reply!

Definitely test any anchor point before going for it. This was my mistake.

And yes, I suppose I could have just thrown the rope over and tied it to the trunk, haha. I'm just too stupid to kill myself (: but I had to rush it, since I fell behind schedule and went to the park later than planned.

Hmm, I doubt people would obey the note, but it doesn't hurt to try.

What would u do differently. I was going to use an exercise band

Chris Cornell used an exercise band, so should be OK.
I basically just chickened out because of survival instinct.
I'm looking at the charcoal method now.

 

[Addi_Madd]

I just hate how it's been one of the most popular forms of capital punishment throughout human history, ie clearly a reliable and efficient way to end someone's life, and yet it's seemingly so difficult to manage successfully unassisted, whether it be difficulty getting it right, or survival instinct/fear of pain kicking in. But if you have someone assisting you to do it they'd be at risk of prosecution.
