There are cases of unsuccessful hanging attempts but those people were discovered too early. Once you are unconsciousness in the noose there is no coming off of it unless some one else brings you down. At the end it is a preference of accessibility and which method gives you a peace of mind.
unless some1 else brings u down, unless u didn't pick the right hanging spot for optimal weight distribution/pressure, unless the knot gives or breaks. if hanging alone has a 70% success rate, can't imagine how low the success rate for going unconscious 1st is. & could u cite ur sources for that research pls? i'd like to have that as a link, it'd be helpful for future convos.
but yes, 100% agree, @ the end of the day it's all abt preference. i just wanna make sure that all the facts are known, i see a lot of misinfo & fearmongering re: jumping & hanging on Sasu + in general.
yeah but you are comparing lethality of proper jumping with lethality of proper+improper hanging. if you were to only count proper hangings the numbers would be similar but determining that is not as simple as measuring the height of a jump. Also, you don't have to do everything "perfectly", it's not rocket science.
yes, i think hanging is prob difficult to gauge bc there's so many diff forms of it, along w the diff techniques for each. short drop/long drop, NN method, partial/full hanging, etc.
'it's not rocket science'. compared to most other methods, esp if u want to achieve ur dream of going unconscious in mere secs beforehand, it kinda is tbh. it's a much more complicated, multi-step process.
there are videos of people who hanged themselves by accident while masturbating
i believe that, autoerotic asphyxiation + prob just accidents in general. i'd also use this logic to say that ppl also accidentally die from slips & trips & minor falls quite a lot, which further supports that jumping from a sufficient height should be more than lethal.
