convulsions. Apparently, it happens a lot with this method. how does one ensure that the rope will stays in place... please don't mention tying hands/legs together as I don't see how it'd solve the issue (won't stop you from convulsing, moving around or try to stand up while unconscious).

Also, tying yourself up could make it look like a murder and police might consider your family as suspects the first few days (would be traumatizing for them).

has anyone figured out partial hanging?

The Hanging Megathread on SS is the best resource I've found anywhere detailing everything I had questions about on partial hanging. I'd recommend reading all the pages on there as there are hidden gems of useful information within. I can attest to this method working foolproof for me after working out the kinks; knot placement being a big one for me I was having such a hard time getting proper pressure where it needed to be as well as the correct body position. The toughest part is, each person is different and what works for one may not for the other. I wish you luck in your research! I got it to the point of complete painless transition and getting to the point of passing out within 8 seconds or so. The previous times I tried to find the right position it would always feel like my head was exploding and i'd just be waiting there in pain; not fun.

Do you mean the night-night method ?
I haven't tried it, but I think using the method with Gorrila Tape seems pretty foolproof.

Partial hanging using closet hangar rack as the holding point using the third depiction position in the first picture of the hanging thread as reference. Thankfully it is made sturdily out of metal in an all wood closet. I have thought of experimenting with the night-night method recently and I agree it does look pretty fool proof!

Night-night method? No, I mean partial hanging. They're two distinct methods

fortunately, knot placement isn't my issue. I'm able to pass out easily. My problem is, many people said that after passing out, they found themselves standing up (SI took over while they were knock out). I find this terrifying as it could lead to brain damage and a failed attempt. Other people mentioned strong convulsions that displaced the knot, which is also a big issue.

The reality is that the method is effective in a lot of parts of the world and doesn't seem to have the same anecdotal failure rate that it does here.

Many celebrities have gone this way, its the preferred choice in india. Anthony bourdain, robin williams, chris cornell, all used the method. How many celebrities have failed?

Point is, it seems to work.

Yes partual works m, although it's complicated. But we do not know how many attempts partial hangers had before their death

@NoLifeNoPain made a tutorial on how to do (or what not to do) hanging. Link:

He died using partial hanging. RIP. You can read more about him in that article. He gave compilation on suicide methods. His posts are coveted in this forum.

Oh, he mentioned alcohol for the survival instinct. This might be the solution for convulsions and SI

I think it's very unreliable and the risk of brain damage is high even if you don't get found

Totally depents on how well it´s planned and done. If the anchor or rope snaps its not the fault of the method. Also you have to plan ahead in case of SI and convulsion. The difficult part, for me, is that I´ve seen some full hanging videos where the people got heavy SI after they kicked the chair, so you have to prevent yourself from saving you, which is not that easy with partial.

I find this terrifying as it could lead to brain damage and a failed attempt. Other people mentioned strong convulsions that displaced the knot, which is also a big issue.
I can also pass out relatively easily, and I wanted to chime in on this thread because I've been passed out five times between one minute and two minutes, and then woke up and got out.

I did not notice any lasting damage. The only thing I noticed was that my legs now are a bit shaky when I'm standing up without moving for more than 2-3 minutes, but that might be from a lack of sleep.

I don't know for sure why I woke up each time (even with videos of myself). It appears that:
- I become unconscious in 10-14 seconds after leaning into the cord. Usually at that point my eyes open a bit (I think in my last moments of consciousness I try to voluntarily stop)
- once unconscious, I undergo some convulsions in the legs and arms for ~10-20 seconds

- my body moves because muscles relax (I slouch down, or ram into a wall on the side) and somehow I slowly wake up. Eyes become focused, I'm a bit lost for a few seconds, I look at the camera and then stop the recording

I think moving while unconscious must have reduced the pressure every time. I've tried a reclined position, leaning backwards, a kneeling and a standing position leaning forward, and a standing position while putting pressure downward

I tried and attempted to make it look like an accident. Got drunk, used an ext. cord. But I'm still here so. Trying to make it look like an accident is a waste of time if your people know you

Any method that you can back out mid attempt won't be the most effective per se. The most common method I read about (celebrity or otherwise) is by hanging and the vast majority of these hangings are by partial suspension.

I think it is praised since the materials are easily obtainable and unlike with full suspension you don't need to find an anchor point that is super high off the ground.

But I do think full suspension is the superior method IF you can find a strong and high enough anchor point which is secluded from public traffic (so you won't be found mid way).
