Discussion Are there any believable cases of successful suicide by hanging on this site?

Le nœud coulant ne s'est pas resserré, ce qui est important si vous voulez survivre à la pendaison. En raison de la friction dans le nœud, il peut être difficile de desserrer le nœud coulant.
Un autre effet est qu'il y a moins de pression sur le cou si le nœud coulant n'est pas serré, la pression est réduite de moitié au maximum (relation géométrique simple).

Je n'ai jamais ressenti de force contre ma trachée, ni aucun réflexe de vomissement.

In this case, indeed, it's not a surprise that it is painless.

It hurts a lot more than I expected, but it'll do the job if you see it through.
I managed to get myself down after I realised my best friend would find me and that it would probably break her.

It hurts a lot- like A LOT- but that wasn't what stopped me. If there were any roof fittings in the building that would take an adult man's weight, I'd be gone.

Deaths by hanging are not uncommon. Seen plenty around my way.

Can you describe the pain?

In my country hanging is probably the most common way that people ctb. I think most of the people who suceed don't practice and don't have a 'safety' option. Like if you have no way to stop it once you've started then you just have to suffer through it.
If you are lucky the fall is from a high enough place that your neck with snap before you really begin hangining.

If you have a way to stop it, then chances are you will... the key is not having that saftey net....

I've never understood practicing this method. It confuses me. Sure, you can practice feeling the rope, even tightening it a bit but how would you actually practice hanging?

-Knock on ceiling until you feel a stud
-Drill pilot hole
-Insert eye lag screw
