Hi, after giving it some thought, I settled on a method that should be overkill and be pretty much guaranteed. But I would still like some input from the community about possible oversights.
The idea is to jump from a bridge that is around 90m high, while wearing a steel wire / winch cable noose. The wire will have a 40m length and should create enough force to easily sever the neck.
The bridge has some maintenance walkways that would allow anchoring the wire to a massive steel beam and a clear straight drop down without any possible restrictions in the way, which should generate the maximum possible force on the drop.
The wire would be around 8mm with a breaking load rating of about 38kN and a tensile strength of 1900 N/mm², which should be way above any load the jump should generate, so the cable snapping should be extremely unlikely.
To anchor the cable to the bridge, it has an eyehook / carabiner that will loop around the beam and connect to the cable, securing it to the bridge. On the other end, it has a loop that can be used to create a noose. Since this will be rather loose, it will be held in place by an additional velcro fastener.
The rest of the cable will be wound up using the over-under cable coil method and be put in an open backpack. This should allow the cable to uncoil cleanly while falling and avoid the possibility of getting tangled up in it on the way down.
Below the bridge is a decent-sized river, so that should act as another backup factor and keep the mess contained.
Anyways that should cover it, any input about possible oversights would be appreciated.
