You don't. Go with no drop.

Hi, can you explain ?

Long drop needs a very heavy rope, a very strong tie-off and it needs to be very high. Basically replicate a gallows.
Then you calculate the hight needed. Once done you need to drop off pretty much straight down to break your neck. Wobble too much and you bottom out off center and the forces get applied to you differently.
Worst case...you get the crap beaten out of you by the fall and then hang there in a non-tightening noose until found or you finally die.
Long drop is designed specifically for executions.
Everyone looks at it like a fast and easy exit, just like partial. Both are far from it.
