Method Need help with hanging

[flyintothemoonagain]

Hey ya'll. I've decided to ctb and have chosen hanging as my choice.

I've gotten my hands on a Everbilt 3/4-inch Polypropylene Heavy-Duty Twisted Rope with 990 lb. Safe Working Load rope (I weigh 170 lbs at 6 feet) and have decided to tie it to a metal basement beam.

Now here's the dilemma. I've tried hanging before but I seem to be a little too tall. (I slowly lowered myself off the chair and if I jumped off instead, I might've broken my neck and not have been able to get back up). Although, I was wearing pretty tall sandals whilst doing it so maybe that could be adjusted, but in case taking them off doesn't help, I need to know how I would do partial. Is partial even worth it? Is it as likely to get me dead?

So what I need to know is:

-What knots do I tie on both ends?
-Is there any way to make it less painful. I can buy drugs off the street so any recommendations?
-How to jump off the chair?
-How much time do I need alone?
-How would partial work. How would I lean and where does the knot go on my neck? Is it below the adams apple or above? Is it different for full suspension?
-I'm open towards other methods aswell. I don't have access to a gun so anything else that has a high mortality rate? Is there anything with as high of a rate as hanging aside from a gunshot?

I really need this info so please if you have an answer for me, that'd be great and thanks to whoever helps me out. I tried looking around the site for general info but I'd much rather someone gives me an exact answer. I wish you all a good day.

I can't respond all your questions, but here's a megathread much interesting.

Highly doubt you're going to break your neck jumping from the height of a chair.

Highly doubt you're going to break your neck jumping from the height of a chair.

Are you sure? Isn't it possible if I do it quick and there's a jerk motion? Plus, is jumping that much better than slowly lowering myself anyways?

Lots of good questions. I'll be very brief, and to the point, because if I answered everything in detail, the answer would be too long. These are just my opinions below.

- Rope: It looks ok-ish. I would prefer braided, but you can test it with your knots etc. It's definitely strong enough.
- You'll most likely not break your neck unless it's a long drop.
- I would not bother with partial, personally. Too unreliable.
- For the noose, I like the Noose Knot with a stopper knot on the fixed end. Maybe a Poacher's Knot, but that's a bit stiffer, doesn't slide as easily.
- I would not 'jump', but I would commit decisively, fully. I would be afraid of hesitation, as it will likely lead to failure.
- Time alone: At least 30 min as far as I know. I would plan with a safe margin of error, and be absolutely certain to not be found. Being found at the wrong time can lead to being rescued with permanent brain damage.
- Expect some pain/discomfort. It's subjective. Some people choose hanging because they expect it to be relatively painless. Some people avoid it, because they think it's painful. The 'painlessness' mainly comes from it's quick nature (~10 sec to lose consciousness). The rope will be uncomfortable/painful, obviously. How much? Depends on the person, I guess.
- Other methods with high lethality, as far as I know: Jumping from enough height, on a hard surface. Drowning with weights attached. (But avoid being seen and rescued! Can lead to brain damage.) Guns, as you said.

You need to be a lot higher up (couple meters) and have a very strong anchor and rope. Its nearly impossible for anyone to do outside of actual official hangings.

You can find some info here

Edit: I'm not recomending this. I just remembered that it exists

That rope might have the strength but is not easy to tie.
Do the best you can.

I still say no from the way you're describing. I don't think it's enough force. A neck with it's connecting tissues, ligaments, and muscles is a lot more resilient to breaking than you think. I just don't see it happening.

You do not normally break your neck. That is in executions or movies.
You block blood flow and pass out. The rest follows after that.
