Is it possible to just put a bag on your head?

[Wyldfyre4948]

Is it actually possible to CTB from just using a garbage bag? I'm reading all kinds of fascinating stuff here, but I was curious about this. So either it's not a viable option or it's just not that popular. You are all some great people in my book. Thank you for letting me join and giving me access to this wealth of information.

I think survival instinct would mean that you just rip the bag to get oxygen.

ctb via plastic bags are definitely a rare way of goin about it. i doubt its viable and more popular methods are better.

No.

- SI is strongly programmed in humans. ANYTHING that requires extended inaction while your brain knows you can die or an action you can take to save yourself your brain will mostly likely make you do. The best methods typically separate the actual action from the result or they "work" even if you have doubt after you take it, like SN

If the bag was lose that would make the person breath in CO2 and that would trigger the suffocation response so that would get unpleasant and trigger SI. Otherwise, with a tight bag, not being able to breathe at all would most likely trigger a panic reaction and that would trigger SI too.
This method at first glance seems simple but the body would put up one hell of a fight.
Plus: Even if the person manages to pass out the bag will tear really easily so they would probably wake up anyway unless they managed to tie themselves up really well.

I've tried it once, in an act of despair, before knowing this site, impusively.
It is very hard. I really wanted to die but I broke the bag with my nails, it was too much to bear.

Is it possible, yes. Is it likely to result in ctb? .0000001% chance.

"just" garbage bag - no. the chances are close to zero.

garbage bag that is large enough filled with pure inert gas tied very well and can keep the co2 level below panic levels before you pass out and make sure bag does not rip - yes if all these happen it is possible.

Absolutely won't work. You'll rip it off. 23 years ago I spent a whole night trying this method again and again

The body has a response. It won't let you at all. No matter how determined you are, you will take it off because the brain is trained to do so.
