Full suspension

[charging station]

I've been reading that the success rate for full suspension hanging is about 70%.
Why do you guys think it is not closer to 100%?

Anchor, knots or ligature breaking. People being found before 30 mins.

Yes, all those make sense. But I wonder how many people don't pass out and just hang there in misery until found a few hours later.

I think after so long, you'll die anyway.

Can you imagine being deep in the woods somewhere, just hanging there waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for someone to find you?

I think by that point, I'll figure out a way to die.

I ve googled it, and it seems that several places agree that it is about 70%

I guess a big part of that depends on the hang-ee. I didn't make the chart I posted. Everything is anecdotal anyway.

A good setup is very important.
A good slip knot knocks you out quickly. Mess it up and you can suffer. Not for hours, but much longer that you should.
Please plan before attempting.

Get a good quality nylon rope that will support your weight for the highest chance of sucess.

i'm pretty those statistics include partial hanging as well which is a lot less reliable

is slip knot a good knot for full suspension or just partial?
