I wonder why there are so many young people accidentaly dying with "scarf game" while it seems quite impossible to CTB using "scarf game"... ? It would be a quick and painless way. I looked for but found nothing about that. Moreover, I don't know how exactly the scarf has to be placed, etc. If it was a death by suffocation, it would be painful and impossible to die "accidentily". So, does the death comes by cutting blood flow to the brain but without damages on the trachea (big advantage) ? Anyone with answers/explanations about that ?

These are really heartbreaking deaths to read about. I can't answer your question, but with accidental death I would think there is less psychological SI. These are stupid dare you to do it "games" and young people don't fully, or maybe even at all, fathom they might accidentally die. Like the number of deaths caused by children having access to firearms in gun worshipping America.
These accidental deaths of young people are OF COURSE terrible and heartbreaking, who could say the opposite ? Really. But my question was not at all about that, as you saw.

They did answer your question- they thought there was less survival instinct. I concur. I also think that the deaths are inflated in our minds to seem like there are a lot of them because most deaths are reported (ie the availability heuristic). I think that a very low proportion of people who try this game end up dying, probably much lower than those who attempt partial.
