I'm due to move into a flat alone on the 9th floor. I considered leaping from it but there's defo a 50/50 chance of survival. If I drop hanged myself using the balcony as an anchor (concrete with hole to loop thru) I'd probably have a strong enuf one to hold me as I'm pretty light. Just a horrible way and kinda public but I guess I'm not bothered as long as I'm dead and I guess I'd wanna be found and not cause people anguish by just vanishing. I am considering the more popular method of a partial hanging but I don't know if I could go thru with the slow process and I'd like it to be over fast. What do you guys think?

For myself I think hanging and even partial seems really hard to accomplish. You have to have a rope or something strong enough to hold your weight and something to anchor it strong enough. Have to tie all knots securely which idk if I could. Too many variables. Too many ways something could go not as planned. Really interested in helium method I never knew about till I came to this site recently. Really want feedback from someone here who knows a lot about this method. I can't start a thread here yet or if I can, I haven't figured out how. But really need to know more about helium.

long drop isn't straightforward and has to be well planned in order the drop is not to long (=decapitation) or to short (=won't break your neck).

Sorry OP for entering your thread.

Here some useful links:



Why do you want He and not N2? From what I read here in threads is difficult nowadays to get He (99.9% purity), N2 will do the job as well as a painless. Easier to acquire.

Yeh I've thought about the drop. Seems longer drop is better. Probably not good I'll be hanging in view of someone's balcony which is why I'm considering the length. I guess I want it to be instant rather than screwing up and slowly being strangled (and maybe rescued) Decapitation probably isn't great but I won't be round to complain about it.

I initially thought it would be real easy but now learning more about it I am realizing that getting helium of sufficient purity will be difficult and expensive. Initially thought I could get a small helium tank from a party supply store like party city but now realize it ain't that easy. That helium nowhere near pure enough and finding out about needing other stuff like tubing and regulator. Now seems too difficult and too expensive. Helium is really expensive and hard to find with sufficient purity. Now will look at N2. May be easier
Nitrogen has some of the same issues as helium
