Method How reliable is full suspension hanging?

[cjuk]

Is there a chance that full suspension hanging fails even if all is done correctly (stable anchor point, strong rope and no chance for someone to find you in time)?

Not sure how it could fail there unless you decided to put your feet back on the chair and remove the noose.

I have the same question

No. You would really need to mess it up to survive.
You need:

At least 30 minutes alone to not get saved

A solid anchor to hold your weight

A good rope that will tie easily and is strong

A good slip knot that tightens easily

Feet cannot touch the ground or floor

Gravity does the rest. Ask if you have questions.

What exactly do you mean by a good slip knot? Is a regular slip knot good enough? Or there is another kind of slip knot that is better?

As long as it slides easily. That can take a little practice to get right. Not everyone was a boy scout!

It is pretty damn foolproof if all those requirements are met. Gonna be the way I go once I finally get the courage. Try not to be impulsive about it, I was before and used a cheap rope that broke on me.
