How do you practice hanging without accidentally hanging yourself?

[Neowise]

I'd love to practice hanging to get a feeling for how to do it correctly and to get used to the feeling. People keep telling how they feel this "tingly feeling" when practicing (I've felt this before when using my hands) which is pretty close to falling unconscious. But how do you practice hanging with a rope without accidentally faling unconscious and dying? What kind of setup should one use?

Don't get me wrong, I want to die, but I want to time it right. I don't want it to happen accidentally. I have things (pets) to take care of before dying.

Good question. My real attempts keep turning into practice and now my throat hurts.

partial, did it almost daily for a year with no issues

but that's pretty lucky

trauma to the neck is very risky as its a sensitive area. even if you dont pass out and accidentally kill yourself in the moment, a complication can easily sneak up on you later

Did you use a specific setup or just be like "oh I feel the feeling now, I better stop now"?

yeah just went by feeling lol

improper ligature (bathrobe belt), improper knot, and didn't bother with finding a sweet spot or anything. as i got used to the feeling of something pressing down on my neck, i went longer and longer. one time almost passed out and nearly couldnt stand up again from the sitting/floating position. so even with everything being done 'wrong,' it could still be potentially risky/deadly.
