rope for hanging

[mordumfan]

is this good or not, 8mm x 15m

Maybe if it were a little thicker, it would be a more "comfortable" experience. It's a good rope. 10 to 14 mm will be fine. It should have enough area to apply pressure and penetrate the neck, and it should be easy to tie the knots.

My neck is thin so I wouldn't use one thicker than 12 mm for example.

Did you check the breaking load on the label? It must support more than your weight.

Hey! Could you check and see whether the rope I have for FSH is good enough? Thanks.

thank you so much for this reply, i don't think it will support my weight (im around 63 kg to 70 kg i currently dont have access to a sce) and the breaking load is 65kg. i might have to buy another rope

Yes, it's better not to take risks and buy one that is stronger and can support more weight.

A braided rope like the one shown in the photo (not twisted). You can choose ones made of polyester or polypropylene.

And that it is not too close to the maximum weight limit supported.

Remember that knots in a rope reduce the tensile strength, making it weaker. And in the phase of spasms and convulsions the body moves involuntarily (you are already unconscious), so that also has to be taken into consideration.

12 mm will be stronger and apply less pressure (psi) on what it touches.

A thin rope is very suitable if you double it. You only have to form one big loop around your horizontal bar (anchor point). You can connect the two ends of the rope for example with an overhand loope knot, the most simple and secure knot. The lady on the attached foto shows how a noose is formed this way.

People often get this wrong. Load capacity (or working load limit) is not the same as the breaking strength! Load capacity is the amount of weight the rope can be safely used with. Breaking strength is usually 4 to 7 times the load capacity, and it's the weight at which the rope is expected to actually break. Load capacity already takes into account that knots reduce the strength of the rope and that the weight might swing around.

If your rope has a 65 kg load capacity, then its tensile strength is somewhere around 260–455 kg. It's a bad picture, but it looks like it says "max load capacity", which makes sense. There is no way that an 8 mm poly rope has a breaking strength of only 65 kg. You can get a stronger one if you don't trust it, but if it's a good quality rope and the label is accurate, that rope can support your weight just fine.

That noose really goes against most guides on this site. Usually a different knot and at back of the neck. Although it's hard to know if she suffered.
Both look at peace. I wonder what their story was, and how they overcame SI.

The two are from India and I guess they were lovers who were not allowed to live together like lovers.
From a functional view this noose is at least as good as all the others. Of course the "knot" can and should be positioned at the back of the neck.

Thank you!! To be honest I was a bit worried I wasn't going to be able to find a rope, as I live in a very very small town with limited shops. I did some research and it says it should be fine, I appreciate people like you on this site. :)
