Just seen a huge number of hanging videos on a gore site for research purposes since i was thinking about it and ive concluded I wont do hanging.

[HermitLonerGuy]

Firstly many of them seem to take quite longer to die than i thought, minutes.
During those minutes they were flailing around, panicking . Some reached up trying to pull themselves up to save themselves.
One guy even panicking saying " i dont wana die " " I dont wana die".
The body after also looks tramatic, the neck is squeezed so thin and bent, the body limp and arms lame.
Many of the familys who find the victim burst out in harrowing cries, yes sure its bound to happen in any suicide findings but something about seeing a loved one hanging is more grim.

I wont do it, yes im not trying to dissuade you if you chose it as your method.
When done right the victim can be passed out in 15 seconds .
From the videos I seen though its rarely done perfect and theres alot to consider.
I will for sure fuck it up. You can view the videos on gore sites , i am not sure if i can name them here but you can google the sites.

No hanging for me now.
Gun shot to the head is more instant , i wont have time to panic or struggle and gasp for air.
im not capable of making a good knot. Even then many still seem to struggle with a good knot.
Gun shot or fent if i can get it is my main ways .

I'm nervous about hanging because of the possibility of survival. I'm trying hard to save up for a handgun so I can have an instant, almost guaranteed out.

there is ways to do it right but personally i dont think id do it right so gun shot or OD is easier plus i just dont wana be found hanging for some reason the imagery turns me off.

partial hanging is much less grotesque.

 

[CW36]

Gun might be the quickest method, but it's definitely more gruesome a sight than a hanging. Every method has there ups and downs, so good luck with whatever choose.

 

[Anon1337]

This is what put me off hanging. The thrashing is disturbing. It's only a few minutes and I doubt they are conscious but I don't want to spend my final moments like that.

idk i prefer being found with a hole in my head and blood than found hanged i just dont like the imagery of it.
More importantly its much quicker and less of a chance id fuck it up as i cant even tie a good knot. And in the hanging 15 seconds can feel like an eternity.

It simply depends on how fast you pass out and that mainly depends on whether your carotids are blocked and therefor the brian is out of oxygen. That's the crucical point imo. Full suspension is foolproofe regardless if it takes a few seconds or minutes.

partial hanging is much less grotesque.

imo partial has a far higher failure rate than full suspension, why is full suspension whether long or short drop always used in executions? I've never seen someone surving this.

This seconds feeling like hours is a interesting concept. Apparently animals like dogs have no perception of time, that's why if you leave the house and come back in ten minutes or ten hours, it'll be the same reaction.

Indeed, obviously partial is more accessible and the perceived peacefulness greater, but for me, success is top of the tree. The more I looked into partial (which I was initially set on) the more I became disheartened.

 

[lachrymost]

I've found such videos disillusioning too. It's a good thing to know what you're getting into. *Sigh*.

 

[CW36]

I've seen many videos, but the ones of hanging, the individuals often appear calm and confident.

 

[FuneralCry]

Hanging sounds like such a barbaric and risky method to me, I would fear it failing and just leading to way more suffering, it's really so inhumane how people are denied the option of a dignified death in peace.

 

[aenid]

I have seen so much info on surviving with brain damage and therefore not being able to try again that i am totally put off this method, sadly as there are so few options on my country

No method is 100% full proof. Brain damage is the likely result of any serious failed attempt. You just have to be confident your plan will work and pray the stars are on your side.

 

[ABSOLUTION]

I was doing the same, looking at many many videos of full suspension hanging. I decided I would do it that way, with a bag over my head in some forest.
Seems peaceful and dignified enough for me as compared than other options available to me. (No firearms, really not keen on train, jumping from tall building, etc)

Then I read threads like this, become doubtful, then go back to undecided.
Hell, maybe if I stick around long enough some breakthrough method will appear and I can stock up and get it done before it gets caught on with like SN. I could only hope.

It sounds so horrific. I couldn't look at it ever. It's so hideous how difficult this crap is

Everyone has an opinion, so I'd try sticking to the facts as much as possible. If you look at enough posts on any method you'll find negative feedback sooner or later.

 

[irie]

yeah i was considering hanging but the more i learn the less i want to even try, surviving sounds awful

I'm trying my best to, being doubtful won't get me anywhere. But seeing stuff like 15 seconds feels like an eternity throws me off. I'm already having to convince myself of other things like how I will truly be dead forever, not have my "consciousness" reassigned to another living thing somehow (if that makes sense).

 

[gag_order]

Honestly, I was considering hanging but ultimately decided on drowning. According to my research, in any case, you will suffer for 2-3 minutes in a conscious state. The only way to avoid this is to find your carotid arteries which is not really fool-proof. What really turns me off is that while hanging you're still fully capable of moving and saving yourself by survival instinct. However, when you are underwater, you can't move as freely. The water slows down your movements and especially if you tied weights around yourself and handcuffed your hands and feet, you are guaranteed to die. Sure you will suffer, but at least it is guaranteed unlike hanging which both you and those around you can "rescue" you.

But that's the same with almost any method.

honestly yeah, just something about this specifically hits harder for some reason

I understand that sentiment and of course nobody knows, but if you did return, who knows, the story might be very different.

Fair enough, if it's not for you then there's no point pretending otherwise.

hanging takes only a few seconds to pass out and I've proven it myself, through hanging tests. You are misinformed.

If it is full hanging then you cannot save yourself.

Also there's the issue of recoil, making sure you don't blow half your head off instead of it actually killing you and the fact that hitting the brainstem is so difficult.

 

[Crono]

of course it takes minutes to die, brain death doesn't happen instantly. but unconsciousness takes only a few seconds and the person is not conscious during seizures.

 

[gag_order]

To be fair I haven't done tests on my own but the hanging mega thread mentions carotid arteries for a successful (painless and "just in seconds") partial hanging. I wasn't able to locate my arteries for the night-night method so anything involving them comes across as unreliable to me. Have you shared your experience so that I can read it? How did you stop the test when you passed out?

I didn't tie the rope somewhere, I just pulled the rope by hand. I will describe the test here. in 2 seconds the vision starts to go dark, 3 seconds I started to hear a bell noise inside my head, soon after the feeling of the arms and legs losing sensitivity and tingling, and then soon after, the feeling of losing consciousness . (mental confusion and a sense of peace)

 

[CW36]

If someone has gone into the rope quick and fast then they'll likely have cut off the blood supply to the brain instantaneously, hence why the head would appear pale, rather than the more unsightly blue after the event. So by logic, the quicker that occurs, the quicker they would lose unconscious, which is obviously a more merciful outcome for everyone involved.
