Can you die from testing?

[Predestinated]

I want to test (!) partial hanging. I've finally found the sweet spot. Im using a tie to compress my carotids. I feel dizzy and vision goes darker!

But didnt have the courage to test the fainting. My question: If I faint, how long will I be unconscious? And could I die by accident, if I did something wrong?

Absolutely. Once you go dark, you're gonna go lump. Once you go lump, the knot gets tighter, and either suffocates your airway or your artery, both causing damage. Some tinkering with the positioning might be able to avoid this.

No, the knot wont get tighter, because I didnt fix the ligature. When I'll be fainting, my body will just drop on the ground. How long will my body lie on the ground?

My thought is that people die accidentally all the time from partials, including autoerotic asphyxiations. I would suggest not testing if you're not okay with dying right then, if you could be interrupted, or if you don't have a trusted partner to rescue you if you lose consciousness.

You can definitely faint to the point where you will not be able to recover from your body going lump. When you start shaking after this point it happens to be only a matter of seconds when you reach full unconsciousness and then you die.

I also managed to locate my sweet spot and I can achieve the state of almost fainting by simply having the noose around my neck and pulling up with an according force ( I use rope ).

During my last attempt I went to an abandoned building outside the town. The building inside had these pipes that were just high enough for me to get it done. I managed to find an old wooden basket laying around so I used it as a platform to drop off of. It was wet and definitely not reliable but it was enough to hold me for a couple of minutes.
So I got my head into the noose while standing on that barely dry basket. I can't remember if I was actually ready or if I was just testing how it feels. At some point I was just standing there and thinking what is going on when that thing I stood on snapped in half resulting me having only one leg on it and the other half of my weight in the air.
I can clearly remember how fast everything went black and my body started to shake and I almost lost control over it. I tried to pull myself up by holding on pipes but I had barely any control over my hands. Eventually I managed to pull closer with my one leg the remains of that damn basket and then pull myself back to standing position.
It's almost surreal how close I was but I was not panicking after I took off the noose. In fact I was at such peace I haven't been at for a long time. It was like a sneak peak to the other side and I am glad to know how calm it is there and I can't wait to get there for ever.

This was a really informative and easy to read study of 6 videoed partial suspension ctb's, some of which were accidental due to autoerotic asphyxiation. Across the board, all lost consciousness in 20 seconds or less, and after a few short phases of approximately equal duration, died between 1 3/4 and 8 minutes. So, loss of consciousness 10-20 seconds, death in less than 10 minutes total. The shaking which @OrdinaryDay mentioned is noted, happens quickly after loss of consciousness.

That means: If I sit on a chair and I tighten my tie so closely, that I faint and I fall to the ground... it means I could die from it?

If you do die from it you wont know !!!!

Can you be more specific?

You could, yes. There's always a risk. If you end up in a position that restricts your breathing and you're not conscious to fix it, you might die. Or you might live but suffer massive brain damage.

I mean that, I wont fix the tie/ligature. I wont be hanging, when I'll test the fainting. I'll just sit on a chair or sit on the ground while pressing the carotids. Then I'll faint and wake up again. So theres no risk of stopping blood flow permantly. As soon as I pass out, my hands fall down and I wont be able to interrupt the blood flow anymore.

Ok thanks! Thats what I wanted to know. But when I'm in a safe position where I can breathe, then theres no risk of brain damage? (Because I cant imagine interrupting blood flow to your head without any damage.)

Just be careful and don't cause yourself any premature damage or death but dying accidentally while testing would probably be a win situation for me
