Resource How to hang yourself

[DaysOfTomorrow]

does SI kick in with this method? would i be able to complete it if it does?

I have tried partial and it was impossible to achieve unconsciousness, however from what I've read, once you become unconscious, there is no way back, so never try it unless you are absolutely sure.
It is not impossible to achieve and we're all different, I've seen people pass out withing seconds, therefore make sure you are absolutely ready..

This is pretty close to 10mm. Do y'all think this would be too long for ctb? Seems that way, I probably don't need 25ft of rope to say the least, but could I at least cut it into portions or should I just buy shorter ones?

I'd say cut it, it's better to have some more, it may become handy, and it doesn't hurt to have a little extra.

Is there anything special I would need to cut it with, or would regular scissors do the trick? I'm kind of low on supplies and access to things, so preferably whatever's the most compatible w what I've got lying around. Also, how many pieces do u think I should cut it into?

 

[MatthieuFrederickW]

The rope snapped.

I hit the sweet spot and became unconscious very quick so I don't think that SI kicked in although it's possible that I was moving while unconscious which caused the rope to snap.

What type of rope did you use that was so weak to have snapped?

 

[winterparty]

Is there an expert? I need to know which thickness/material of the rope is best and what kind of lamp or anchor point one can buy. I also need to know whether the yosemite bowline or bowline is enough too hold a 100kg person. (My rope is 8mm sisal right now so I want to replace it with something around 12-14mm, not sure which is best and what material??) I've heard the simple noose is enough or the slipknot. The hangmans knot wasn't recommended by some. I plan on full suspension hanging by kicking a chair in my room. I can do whatever I want to my own ceiling so I'm looking for the best anchor point.

It's really important to know this. I know I need to place the rope under my chin and jump right inside it with the knot behind my neck.

Hanging is safer than inert gas asphyxiation right? with the latter more things can go wrong. hanging can't make you a vegetable right?

No. There is a very big possibility with hanging to end up as a vegetable. Inert gas is the one with the much smaller risk. I don't think anyone who used it has ended up a vegetable.

Ask over in the inert gas thread.

 

[Mauve87]

Sounds stupid but I need a second opinion on this setup. It looks kind of flimsy but should do the trick?
It's a 8mm nylon rope from amazon. I noticed it has started to fray a little...
Maybe I should buy a higher quality rope. I don't want to risk anything breaking while I'm unconscious

(I'm not planning to hang myself at the moment- This is just preparation in case things get worse in the future)

 

[bythefire12]

I am wondering if I should buy two kinds of ropes for testing. One has a built in "loop" at one end that I could attach to a doorhandle, then I would tie a slipknot on the other side of the rope and hang myself on the other side of the door.

The other option would be just a regular rope. I would tie a slipknot on one end for me, then what kind of knot should I use to secure the other end to something like a beam that I could try partial from?

I've already read quite a lot on this topic and even seen a couple of videos - I know that if everything is done correctly, blocking the blood flow through the veins and arteries, then death will be quick and painless. But what scares me is that an unsuccessful attempt can lead to a fracture of the hyoid bone. Has anyone had such an injury? Is there any significant damage from this - for example, will you be able to talk? This is very painful? Oh, I'm so tired of my shitty life but i'm so afraid such things

That is very interesting, thank you.
I did hang myself unsuccessfully about two weeks ago, and what I'm going through is very similar to the symptoms that describes hyoid bone fracture.

The first 3-4 days was the most painful, I could barely swallow anything, after that it started getting better, and now almost two weeks later I have no trouble swallowing, however when my neck(or rather my throat) is in certain positions, like rotating it or looking down and swallowing, it still hurts a little bit, it's not bothersome, but it's there.
Also if I lightly press down on my throat, on and above adam's apple, where the bone is situated as I understand it, it still hurts a fair bit, which prevents me from any further hanging attempts as I have to put all my body weight on that spot.

Other than the slight pain that I still have, which seems to be getting better, I didn't experience anything else, I may have been just lucky.
I have to mention that when I hanged myself, I didn't ease into it, I fell, therefore putting a lot more pressure on my throat, I would assume that this is not gonna happen had I just hanged myself slowly rather than falling.

Overall, the injury wasn't bad, at least in my case, I'm just buggered that I can't attempt hanging until I'm fully healed.

Did you do a full suspension or a partial one?

May i also ask what whent wrong? Im thinking about doing partial and want my succes chance as high as possible

I hope everything will be fine with you. Damn its so terrible is that if your attempt fails, you can't seek medical help, otherwise you'll be considered crazy.

Full suspension.
I was standing on my stool, for the hundredth time, with my neck in the noose, and I couldn't kick the god damn thing, so I started playing with it, hoping it would go off, and it did, but I wasn't ready, if I was, I would've kicked it myself, I was shocked and I tried to save myself, which was possible due to the fact that I was doing it in a narrow stairway, holding myself against the wall and taking the rope out.
There are pictures of the stairway in full suspension thread, which might make it easier to understand.

I could've never imagined that I could possibly save myself that way, or any other ways for that matter, otherwise I would've never done it.
But it is what it is, I'll be doing it again as soon as I fully heal.

I hope you can achieve what you're aiming for, I still prefer full, but next time I'll be more cautious.

I hope everything will be fine with you. Damn its so terrible is that if your attempt fails, you can't seek medical help, otherwise you'll be considered crazy.

Thanks.
Yes, that is indeed the problem, because these types of injuries are really rare, so no way out of it.

 

[misthios2040]

I already picked my method and wrote about in the thread. I'll copy and paste it here:

I'm about to commit to ctb in three weeks. I found a bridge and I have strong climbing rope. I'm gonna drink a bottle (40oz) of antifreeze and jump with the rope (11 feet leeway from noose to anchor point) on me. I'll be using two anchor knots (constrictor knot and bowline). I thought about waiting till November, but the opportunity opened up and assuming I don't have work. I can do it in three weeks. Not gonna lie a little nervous. I've done the research and I know 11 foot drop from anything above 200 feet will lead to decapitation. To me the plan seems perfect. Even if I fuck up the antifreeze will do the job. I figured that I'd keep it simple and easy to execute. I just need a second opinion on my method. Any thoughts?

I wish you a quick and painless death - although it sounds terribly frightening, I hope that you do not suffer and die instantly. I honestly wouldn't be able to find the courage to do something like that. I'm too cowardly))) I still haven't decided on the method and choose from partial hanging, SN and inert gas.

Man guys, I have been reading around and it seems like the hanging method is just my best bed.

It's just hard to buy the materials required for other methods. I am looking into hanging on a door knob when my parents are away on vacation in a month, so no one should be able to save me. When they are away, even if they try to contact me, I think they won't notice something's wrong until like a day or two. If I do it correctly, it should be too late even if they try to send someone to check on me.

Trying to read through this thread, but man I can't really handle the real life pictures. I am so weak.

[Dr. Henjin]

Hey all new here and hello. I've been considering partial suspension for my method and was wondering if a slip lead (a threaded rope used for leashing dogs and was wondering if it would be sufficient. Picture attached for what I'm working with for reference. I have all the other info I need to do it correctly I think, just trying to overcome the SI kicking in and all that.

[winterparty]

Can someone help me and contact me. I have a stable ring in my concrete ceiling but I don't know which knot to use to attach it to this anchor point. Is a fishermans bend enough? I don't think so there needs to be a different one I can use.

Can someone help me and contact me. I have a stable ring in my concrete ceiling but I don't know which knot to use to attach it to this anchor point. Is a fishermans bend enough? I don't think so there needs to be a different one I can use.

I've been thinking about using Bowline Knot, but using several knots to make sure it doesn't come undone.

 

[winterparty]

Yes I think the bowline knot is recommended often times so I need to find a way to anchor it to the ring.

BTW: Google Bard thinks it's even stronger than the bowline. ( but other then that theres also claims that it's weakening a rope by 50% and not by 20% as claimed by bard and gpt

The fisherman's bend knot is a very strong knot that can hold a lot of weight. The exact weight capacity of the knot will depend on the type of rope used, the diameter of the rope, and the condition of the rope. However, as a general rule of thumb, a fisherman's bend knot can hold approximately 80% of the weight capacity of the rope.
For example, if you are using a 1000 kg rope, a fisherman's bend knot can hold approximately 800 kg. However, it is important to note that this is just a general guideline. The actual weight capacity of a fisherman's bend knot may vary depending on the factors mentioned above.
It is also important to inspect your rope and knot before using it to ensure that they are in good condition. A damaged rope or knot may not be able to hold its full weight capacity.
Here are some tips for tying a strong fisherman's bend knot:

• Use a properly sized rope for the weight capacity you need.
• Tie the knot snugly, but not too tightly.
• Inspect the knot before using it to ensure that it is tied correctly.

If you are unsure about how to tie a fisherman's bend knot, there are many resources available online and in libraries that can teach you how.
Please note: The fisherman's bend knot is a very strong knot, but it is important to remember that all knots have their limits. It is never a good idea to overload a knot, even if it is a strong one. It is also important to inspect your rope and knot regularly for wear and tear.

 

[DaysOfTomorrow]

I tested my setup by putting an iron bar that I had lying around in the noose and grabbing it with my feet off the ground.
A similar object could be used to test your setup as a whole as well, just make sure that it's strong enough and won't break when you're putting your whole weight on it.
In my opinion, this would test the strength of the rope, anchor point and the knots that are used.

P.S.: not an original idea, someone had suggested it, and it works.

Guide to partially suspended hanging:

Warning: Don't try this method unless you're totally sure that:
a) you want to kill yourself
b) that you won't be found for at least 30 minutes after you attempt.

This method is very lethal and quick (quick from your perspective
anyway, as you black out within seconds), but if you're found in time
and 'saved' you can end up with serious brain damage and/or be left a
vegetable.

Why partial suspension?
Because full suspension seems to me to be unnecessary and creates
difficulties. First of all you need to find a place which would hold
your entire weight, which isn't easy, and also you need a stronger
ligature, which isn't always easy to find either. There's nothing
wrong with full suspension, but it may not be a viable method for
everyone, especially if you're looking to use everyday materials from
around the home.

By partial suspension I mean that you hang yourself around the neck
(specifically the carotid artery), and push downwards while kneeling.
This should create enough downward pressure on the ligature to tighten
it and close the carotid artery and stop the blood flow to your brain.
All you need is 3 kilograms of pressure to do this, which isn't much
at all.

Also, with full suspension your entire body weight is pressurizing
your neck, and this would probably be more than enough to not only cut
off the blood supply to your brain, but break your neck as well. I'm
not too sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I do know though, that
statistically people who've attempted via hanging have more often been
found kneeling and partially suspended than being fully suspended.

Where is the carotid artery?
Before you start you have to know this. If you place your hand around
the middle of your neck, around your Adam's apple, with one thumb on
one side and all fingers on the other, you should feel a strong pulse
and heartbeat. If you close your hand now fairly firmly, you'll
probably make yourself pass out. It might be a good idea to try this
to make sure you've got the right spot.

What type of ligature?
You need a ligature that's strong, but not too elastic. It doesn't
have to be very long, 1 meter or more would be plenty. I'd advise
against nylon rope, string, fishing wire, etc.
Neckties on the other hand, are perfect Smile .

It may also be a good idea to lubricate the ligature with soap. This
would help the noose tighten even quicker, especially if you're using
a rough ligature such as a rope. Lubricating it in this way will
increase the friction once you push your head down and tighten the
noose, and could make it a little more effective and faster.

What type of knot?
A slipknot. It's one of the most basic knots around, and you make it
with one end of your ligature. The other end should go around your
hanging place.

Many people have the misguided idea that a hangman's knot should be
used, but they're wrong. A hangman's knot is for a completely
different purpose, and won't work for this method.

Where should I hang?
You should hang from a support which will hold part of your weight.

You should test this by tying the loose end of your ligature around
the support several times, sticking your hand (NOT your head) in the
noose and pushing down with it. If the noose holds, you're fine. If
not, then you'll have to find another spot.

A great and easy place to hang is from the thick horizontal metal bar
which you find in wardrobes in most homes.

When should I do it?
When no one else will be in the same area, for at least 30 minutes.
You lose consciousness within seconds but your body doesn't completely
die for around 15-20 minutes. The extra 10-15 minutes is for
preparation time and just in case.

How?

When you're completely ready, kneel down, stick your head in the
noose, position it around the carotid artery and push downwards with
your head.

Good luck...

Ive tried 3 times, no luck.

Can someone help me and contact me. I have a stable ring in my concrete ceiling but I don't know which knot to use to attach it to this anchor point. Is a fishermans bend enough? I don't think so there needs to be a different one I can use.

The rope that remains after tying the knot is very short and should be longer. This is a safety rule for climbing, you leave a long end after tying a knot, this is because the knot can slide a little after putting weight on it, and then it tightens and stops sliding. The knot may come undone if the length of the remaining rope is too short. This also applies to the noose knot.

 

[bythefire12]

I'm still unclear on if the noose for partial hanging should sit high up/just blow the jawline, or low down under where an adam's apple would be. Any help?

 

[winterparty]

I wonder the same for full suspension

 

[MatthieuFrederickW]

The rope that remains after tying the knot is very short and should be longer. This is a safety rule for climbing, you leave a long end after tying a knot, this is because the knot can slide a little after putting weight on it, and then it tightens and stops sliding. The knot may come undone if the length of the remaining rope is too short. This also applies to the noose knot.

Exactly. That's very good advice and just basic common sense. I'd leave at least a metre extra and do an more knots after looping it around again even to tie it off,maybe even more. I'm taking no chances in that regard.
