I ordered a new 12mm rope online, and it just arrived. I've tried test-hanging myself before, but I used some crappy, stretchy 3-5mm rope, and it didn't really had any black-out effect. Today, I tested this new 12mm polyester rope: as soon as I applied tension, I immediately felt like I was about to pass out. I've tried it a few times, and it seems to work every time. There's no complicated setup: I just tie a noose knot, tighten the rope around my neck, hold it above my head, and start to lower myself slightly; within two seconds, I had that same feeling, like when you suddenly get up off a couch. It's actually kind of inspiring. But there's a downside: it was difficult to tighten the rope around my neck properly, at one point I felt pain in my neck bones, i guess the rope was putting too much pressure on them or something.
