Attempted suicide via vehicle assisted ligature

[hunter.s1321]

As the title says, I attempted this. I had 400 feet of rigging rope that I tied to a concrete pillar and my neck. I drove away with the hopes of decapitating myself. However the rope snapped. I have an intense ligature scar around my neck and flipped my truck as well. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks for injuries. I was then taken to inpatient and now I am in a residential program. It's been a crazy couple months. Just wanted to talk about this. Thank you.

Sorry it didn't work out. If you don't mind me asking, where'd the rope break?

The rope snapped right before the slip knot. Sorry for late reply.

I see. I saw a case where a guy succeeded that way with metal wire.

I have considered doing this many times. It seems like a sure fire plan, but sounds like things can go wrong. What type of rope did you use? How has residential been? Helpful at all?

I used a rescue rigging rope which had a 20,000 breaking load limit which I thought for sure would have been strong enough. As of now I'm glad I survived. Residential has been going pretty well, learning many new skills and gaining new perspectives.

Just looked this up - pretty hectic images from the scene of someone that did it. Genius method though

Wow you must have a mighty neck to break a 20k lb rope.
