Method Hanging with scarves

[St. Ahithophel]

I wear three different scarves and I can probably find more lying around. Scarves are like part of my aesthetic or whatever. If I were to take all my scarves and twist them into one ligature, would it likely be a strong enough ligature to hang myself with? I weigh 145lb and I would be hanging myself off of a high bridge.

Sorry if this is an idiot question — like, if the answer is obviously no.

Seems real hit or miss. Not obviously no. Could possibly be accomplished but I wouldn't feel comfortable that it would work. If the scarves don't hold your weight, how far is the drop from the bridge? Far enough for fall to kill you if scarves don't hold?

The bridge's precipice falls down onto a shallow river with jagged rocks — probably about 50ft or so. I might kill me, but it's unlikely. And if it doesn't kill it, it'll land me in a state of agony with no benefit of death. Also, only one of my scarves is very long. The rest would be holding me from a pretty short distance. Would that cause a problem because of SI?

You should use a rope and if you plan long-drop you need a rope.

And I don't know if scarves are sufficiently strong enough.
Wouldn't trust them to be. Good strong hemp ropes.
Also any outdoor spots risk being seen and someone intervening

Pretty sure Anthony Bourdain hung himself with one scarf from a door/knob. Not sure if he took drugs first, can't remember. Anyway, best of luck.

A belt from a bathrobe, and no drugs.
Sorry, just wanted to set the record straight.

Anthony Bourdain was in the shower with a robe belt. Kate Spade used a scarf from a door knob.
