Rope thickness

[Pardoe84]

I am a little bit confused about the thickness of the rope. How thick should it be for full hanging? Some say it should be thin for a faster blackout, others say the thicker the rope the better. How thick should it be?

The easy method, it should be about as thick as your thumb.
The time difference between thick and thin will be minimal. The comfort if the thicker rope is extreme. If this is your last sensation, make it the pressure of the thicker rope and not the cutting pain of a thin rope.
You are worth it!
