Method Kinda surprised I haven’t seen a crushing rig

Like a simple weight suspended above on a quick release. Pull... drop... crush. Or somehow on a timer, so you don't have to actually "do it" per say.

I'd imagine it is because crushing by typical human scale household objects (weights, barbells, bowling balls etc.) is not a reliably fatal method, and crushing by the kind of objects which are more likely to reliably kill you (piano, car, refrigerator etc.) are not easy to lift or suspend with any kind of home-made device.

I mean with a car, a jack could be used.

I believe it takes around 90lbs of force to crush a skull? Or bone in general.

I bet an engine hoist could handle something quite heavy as well.

Sounds dodgy compared to the alternatives

It would depend on how it was set up.

Like if it were rigged to be guided and not just fall freely hoping for the best.

But yeah, definitely not "traditional" and probably a mess.... a method, nonetheless.

Unless you had relevant expertise maybe

Household products not so much, however, work implements are a different ball game.

Damnnn that's a hell of a way to go out! Definitely more reliable though lol. I can't help but think about the scene from Austin Power's now though lol.

I'd say too many things could go wrong - crushing a part of the body that wouldnt be fatal

This method would not be very lethal. You'd be likely survive, and with long term injuries or disability.

LOL, I remember laughing until my ribs hurt when I first saw that scene. Imagine recreating it in real life, just for laughs before you ctb

Lmao I know, and then I was like OMG THAT'S STUART!!! Look what I can do! Lol :P

Overall though this "method" is more so just an idea that isn't traditional but could be if it was thought out correctly, who knows. I mean when SN was created, they were wanting something to preserve meat... and now it seems it's for "other" reasons.
