Discussion complete or partial hanging?

[colin]

which one of these two methods do you suggest and it does not fail?

 

[endlesstime]

If partial works for you I would suggest that as it a more comfortable way to go.

but it seems that the possibility of failure by partial is more than complete.

Partial does seem better but also way harder to pull off according to this forum. I went through almost the entire hanging megathred - ~80% of the posts are about struggling with SI and finding the sweet spot. IDK what to think about it to be honest given how popular hanging is as method overall and I doubt that all those people who died by partial did extensive research on neck anatomy, rope diameters and knot positions...

I think many here have wanted go partial, but I did a recent poll and found that the majority voted for full, therefore I believe partial has a higher fail rate. Full/complete is more reliable if comfort doesn't matter to you anymore or you can overcome a stronger survival instinct.

Partial gives an escape. Full does not.

 

[one.way.out]

I plan to go with full. You can't change your mind, and me changing my mind halfway through is something I always regret. It also doesn't seem that uncomfortable, from what I've heard.

That's 5-10 minutes of pain and slowly choking to death. Just pure agony.

I feel pure agony when I see this misinformation repeated over and over. Maybe do some research before posting, bud. With full you lose consciousness in a matter of seconds, there are many videos, pdfs and even testimonies of survivors in the megathread that prove this to be true - once you compress the arteries it's lights out in no time. No need for neck breaking either, that's another myth, people who die with this method just do short drop from a chair/stool etc. Don't try to scare us, we already struggle with overthinking as it is.

Yes, no method is 100% foolproof, anything can go wrong but there are ways to minimize the risk and the pain. Hanging happens to be accessible, straight-forward and really not that bad if done right. Test your anchor and rope, learn to tie proper knots, don't do it in a place where someone is likely to find you, use some padding and so on.

When I try to pass out via strangulation, I only get the feeling that my head is about to explode. Afterwards I have lots or red points in my face and in my eyes, I guess these are veins or cells that popped. I never came close to unconsciousness. It is really disappointing because partial hanging would be such a good technique.

My CTB method isn't hanging but if it was, I think I would do partial just because I feel like full suspension would be extremely uncomfortable for me.

 

[Solar1703]

I gonna do full. It will be just few seconds of pain and no risk to fail.

As mustard glass said there is a lot of misinformation on full suspension hanging. The method is almost 100% certain (as long as no one finds you too soon]. As for the convulsions, look at posted videos of a full suspension hanging, many of the people have tremors following death but do not shake violently. Then there is the concern for pain, any method will have some sort of discomfort associated with it. When you hit the end of the rope and the noose tightens around your neck, there will only be seconds of discomfort before passing out.
Full suspension is my method, I have researched it as carefully and possible and believe that I will be successful when I am ready.

I had an idea today. Why not do a combination of partial and full? If I go the hanging route, I have the perfect place to try it. You need to be standing on something with the rope in front of you like in FS, but make sure that what you are standing on is not going to move, then lean into the rope as you would with PS, allowing it to take your whole body. The point is to pass out and then as you slump forward unconscious, it becomes full suspension!

I have difficulty visualizing this, but I have heard of people forcing themselves to faint to overcome instincts before full suspension. Unfortunately, I think the issue most people have with partial is that they can't pass out when they try it. I suspect this would have the same problem.

 

[Worndown]

If you put your full weight into it, you pass out quickly. Partial, by definition, only has a portion of your weight constricting and takes much more conviction on your part. The posts point to most standing up.

Yes, it would require that you are committed to go through with it to completion. The advantage here is that the sudden shock of being fully suspended is avoided, but you get the benefit of full suspension.

Definitely partial.


When you regret hanging there's always an option to go back.

Oh it happened to me as well. Partial hanging from closet door. I felt like my veins would explode. I was maybe 14 at that time.

It's trapped blood, but that feeling is something unique.

Partial. I've recently decided this is my plan and I'm pretty positive I won't have a problem with it. When I was young- years ago- I would play what kids commonly refer to as "the choking game". I'd huff deep breaths repeatedly several times in a row, take one deep gulp and hold my breath, then press the heels of my palm into my carotid artery on either side of my neck until I felt a sense of euphoria and fainted. It happened within seconds and it was pleasant- like falling asleep suddenly, as if I was narcoleptic. I just need to do that- but with a scarf, belt, or necktie somewhere I won't be disturbed.

If more than a dozen celebrities can figure it out, I have little doubt that I can as well. There was no struggle to breathe because I already held my breath, which ensured I would pass out once I applied pressure to the carotid. In fact, I released the breath naturally when I applied the pressure and things went dark, because cutting off air supply isn't the objective. Holding my breath just sped up the process....

I think short of a fentanyl overdose this is probably one of the more painless and least distressing ways to depart this planet.

I am also thinking, what u said

I don´t have the willpower for partial hanging, I need a point of no return.
