Discussion How can SI ruin a full-suspension hanging?

[weird_place777]

Hanging is a lethal and reliable method, but after the noose strangles the neck, I worry about SI kicking in and ruining the attempt. Unlike jumping, there could be ways of backing out halfway through due to extreme panic and instincts taking over. For example hanging from a thick tree branch, maybe someone could use their legs to push against the tree trunk and keep themselves held up. Or even hanging from some kind of overhead bar, the hands could be used to pull upwards on the rope itself to relieve tension off the neck. I seriously worry about the viability of this method when SI presents such a high chance of interference, and I can't see any way of fixing this besides illegal drugs I can't get access to, and I can't "test" hanging myself over and over to get used to it over time. How do you think hanging could fail when overwhelmed by SI?

It's crazy I was in a way, just thinking about this! There's a tree that I've decided on in my back yard but I worry that a branch below it and to the side could support me if I was flailing around due to SI. I'm not sure on the answer either, my hope would be that the pressure on the arteries would pass me out before serious panic sets in. Full suspension I believe is the best answer for me but I'm, like everyone else on this forum, worried about failing. Drinking or smoking weed isn't a good option I believe because I would want to be fully together mentally when attempting something like this. Wish I could be more help!

Creo que lo interesante en este caso sería dejar una buena distancia para la caída y, con suerte, romperte el cuello antes, así el CI definitivamente no entrará en acción. Estoy pensando en lo mismo que CTB, pero como tengo miedo de saltar, lo que voy a hacer es: quedarme colgado con la cuerda alrededor del cuello y cuando mis brazos ya no aguanten más, finalmente la soltaré y así, como ya estarás bastante cansado, incluso si el CI entra en acción, no te quedará mucha fuerza para intentar salvarte.
Si quieres hablar de ello, envíame un mensaje privado, ya que parece que tenemos el mismo plan. ¡Buena suerte!

If that tree is in your backyard I'm sure you could just saw off the branches in the way. I doubt it would be illegal but everything keeps getting more policed each year so maybe I'm wrong. I didn't mention this in my post but if a tree branch is high enough, the "hanging" could turn into a decapitation.

I grabbed the rope with my hands and bloodied up my thumbs. Couldn't find the courage to put the whole weight on my neck. This seems inevitable, but I've seen hangings where it doesn't happen.

I live with my mum so it would hard to saw inconspicuously lol. I think I should just be fine, the branch definitely isn't high enough for decapitation which I'd prefer not to happen. I'm going to get zip ties for my wrists which I hope will restrict me somewhat in what I could do. If I do step on the branch, hopefully my legs will give in eventually and then bang I should be done.
