How do I avoid breaking my neck during FSH?

[Nexvyr]

I did attempt PSH earlier today, but it did only hurt and did not work that well since my anchor point was too low to be enough suspended.

Tomorrow I will go to the capital city to attend a course organized by a think tank and have hence gotten a free hotel stay from the Saturday to Sunday. Since I otherwise still live with my parents I think this is a perfect opportunity to finally attempt the real thing, FSH.

I do however worry that my neck breaks but I still somehow survive. I would prefer to not break my neck since I do not want to end up paralyzed in case I would for any reason not succeed.

Do you have any tips?

(Also, I don't know how the hotel room looks, so I have not been able to identify any good anchor points. If you have any ideas for anchor points in different scenarios, let me know!)

The broken neck is what kills you, no?

Are you sure? I am quite certain that what kills you are the compressed carotid arteries resulting in no blood getting to the brain. At least it seems like that's the cause of death detailed by Evelyn in the guides she wrote before she was banned.

For FS hanging, it's the "drop" that breaks your neck. Like securing a rope on the balcony of a hotel and jumping over the edge. Or, like in the old west where they used gallows with a trap door beneath the feet of the condemned. If you're just kicking out a chair you're standing on, it's quite unlikely you're going to break your neck.

I don't know how it works, forgive me...

Full suspension will not break your neck. For a proper neck break, you would need to fall a meter or two. A small step off of a chair is not going to break your spine.

Its not possible, the only way is by doing long drop hanging

You're thinking of drop hanging, which is different from FSH. With normal FSH, the person dies from the rope blocking the carotid artery in the neck (ie. a blood choke), without damaging the spine.

I think the FSH megathread says something about lowering the neck and gently "stepping in" to hanging, not jumping.

Oh, this is hard. But I want to try again.
