Discussion Long term injuries for full suspension hanging?

[WhirlingMind]

I'm interested in knowing more about possible injuries and long-term damage of full-suspension attempts (no long-drop).
Physical injuries specifically, not the damage related to lack of oxygen.

What I'm looking for is especially:
- documentation (case studies)
- statistics
- real-life experiences

Thanks all

bump

Quite a lot
Paralysis, cerebral palsy brain damage spinal chord damage vocal chord damage although maybe that's not permanent I'm not sure higher risk of strokes and heart attacks probably just anything to do with brain damage

I can imagine... but that sounds like consequences of an attempt interrupted by somebody right?
I wonder what kind of long-term damage can you get if you're able to get off the noose on your own, I imagine it would be more "physical" than brain damage.

 

[WhirlingMind]

I wonder if anyone has tried full suspension, was able to get off the noose, and what kind of injuries followed

 

[AllFoxedOut]

I've not seen a video or aftermath of somebody getting themselves out of a full suspension but I imagine it'd be a very sore neck at a minimum. but also a broken neck, paralysis, potential nerve damage. wouldn't be pretty.

 

[WhirlingMind]

I imagine if somebody is able to put the effort for getting off the noose he didn't cut oxygen supply to the brain, I don't think there would be much damage to the central nervous system. Also, people do get unconscious during martial arts, erotic practices, swimming...
I don't think it would be a broken neck every time, I'm trying to get more detailed information

 

[WhirlingMind]

On one hand I can imagine possible injuries to be severe, on the other I read pretty often about people surviving hanging, so I wonder if there's any documentation on that

I tried to partial hang the aftermath wasn't that fun, sore throat sore neck, light headed, feeling sick always tired etc. I know it's partial hanging but full hanging will probably have the same symptoms if you survive

What was your positioning of the noose on your neck and your technique of tightening the noose, did you lean forward slowly or just suddenly let your body weight drop into it?

Lean forward, and a little below the Adams apple

I'm planning on doing it quite differently by placing noose above the adams apple and just suddenly dropping my weight straight down. Practicing without anchoring first to ensure I've got it down to a T.
