Method Can I hang myself from a pull-up bar?

[daikon]

I don't have anywhere to hang myself in my apartment, but I was thinking a pull-up bar might work to hang the rope from, especially one of those that you wedge between the two sides of the doorframe.
Example:

I don't have any other way to ctb besides hanging and I think I'll need a full suspension.

 

[RyanSuicide]

Not sure but may I ask why not a tree? And yes many on here have had serious problems with partial suspension including myself so full may be the way to go

 

[Othermind]

I think I'll need a full suspension.

That you will, partial should always be your plan Z.
But unless you're really short you're not gonna be able to go full from a door frame.

So many people suicide by partial hanging. Many eople die accidentally by partial hanging.

If you use that kind of pull up bar better make sure it is in there very very tight. Even at my height I wouldn't be able to do a full from a door frame.

I just would really like to kill myself somewhere warm and private. There's a place I've chosen in a densely forested park, but I'm too scared that I'd be interrupted if I were outside.
(Although if anyone here lives in the eastern seaboard and has a hanging-compatible dwelling, DM me!)

Those are valid reasons to CTB inside. Make sure that the pull up bar is strong enough though!

Same here. And with no ligature point sturdy enough to support me in my apartment, either.

I looked at that type of pull up bar, the kind held in by tension, and disappointedly ruled it out. "The bar came loose from the door frame unexpectedly" appeared in so many reviews that it scared me off.

I saw some reviews talking about bars getting stuck in doors, so I was hopeful. Probably best not risk it though

I know someone who hanged themselves on a pull up bar. You just need to make sure it will support your weight and more.

 

[SiArc]

If you are going to use a pullup bar do the ones that screw into the frame or the wall or has the clamps that hook onto the top of the door frame. Don't use the tension bar kind.

Wouldn't the spasms make it come off the doorframe?

Did that person use a tension bar like the one above?

 

[TAW122]

I think this is possible and yes, do make sure that the pull up bar will support your weight and is also really sturdy. This is to make sure you don't fall down mid-attempt and survive with brain damage.

Think about the swinging that can happen when you do a pull-up, especially a kipping pull-up. They are meant to stay still while you wiggle.

edit: example of the kind I am talking about:

 

[Mylifeispointless]

You might want to look for big metal free standing pull up bars, I think they will be sturdy enough. Assemble it yourself make sure to tightened the bolts or screws for it not to collapse. Lastly test it if the bar can support your weight.

 

[Partial-Elf]

A few things:

1. If you are going to use a pull-up bar, follow @SiArc advice and use the non tension kind. These work great for this purpose
2. A door anchor for resistance bands is another option. Link. Super cheap and only need a door
3. Some were saying partial shouldn't be your first plan but I would strongly disagree. It can be a little finicky but once you get it dialed in it's unconsciousness in easily under 20 seconds and virtually no pain. The key that I and others have found is putting your weight into the noose fully and all at once

 

[Jiva]

If it has the suitable load capacity, yes.

I don't know, I'm sorry. :(

What you could do is drill a hole in the wall small enough to put a rope threw it and the door frame would hold you. And if it fails you could awalys buy some wood filler and fill the hole back up again

 

[Jumper]

My door handles are flimsy, and I don't trust the shower/wardrobe rods. Can anyone recommend a non-tension pull up bar?
This is screwed into the wall. Do you think it's sturdy enough?

Unless it's secure, it may fall off the door frame while the body shakes and spasms violently after you pass out

That's my question. Is this secure? It's drilled into the wall.

Hmmm i've seen fail videos on youtube where the bar comes loose and falls, probably the last thing you would want to happen when attempting to hang.

Even with a bar like the one I posted (one that is drilled into the wall)?

It should be sturdy but as others have mentioned you would need to at least to do some rigorous testing to ensure it's very secure. Remember, the body will start to move around violently once you are unconscious and the last thing u want happening during this phase is for that bar to fall. You will probably suffer severe brain damage from a failed attempt. At least that's what I've read so far about failed attempts that go quite far just before dying where either the person was saved or a rope snapped etc. Hanging is a possible option for myself so i'm trying to do as much research as possible as well.

Should be secure if it is drilled to a brickwall. It must be totally allfixed. I see there a problem with anchoring points. How much does weight stand this gadget?.
It is cheaper and safer hanging from the ceiling. A couple of some kind of hasps (in english, idk) and a rope. Three drillings and go ahead.

Are we talking about full hanging?.

It's supposed to be drilled into a standard wood stud wall. I'm not sure how much weight it supports, but the guys doing pull ups are much bigger than me. I'm 110 lbs, and it's for partial hanging. Why is it safer to hang from the ceiling?

Hanging spends some minutes until you do it. It is not go up and go down quickly.

If wall was made by bricks, gagdet is perfect. I see it and it has six anchoring points, where you drilling screws. I do not know nothing about wood stud wall, I guess that kind of wall is hard too.

I see that gadget interesting for hanging, looks like strong.

from the celing is because is higher and cheaper. Using three or four of these screws, it is done.
