Struggling while hanging

[Supersadmommy90]

Just saw a full suspension hanging vid that has caused me to at least re-assess my chosen method. This poor girl hung herself on film in what seemed to be a rather loose, makeshift noose made out of sheets and she struggled in total anguish for at least a minute. In all of the hangings I've seen, I've never seen one where the person wasn't immediately incapacitated. She was in no way incapacitated. At one point this woman was trying to take a running jump mid-air to try and free herself. She even tried to reach up and pull herself up. At other times she shook uncontrollably. It was a sight for sure, and not a nice one. I really felt for this girl, because I felt I could relate to the kind of frantic or desperate state of mind that might lead to such an ill-fated attempt. This is meant to be a cautionary tale because from what I've learned, there is definitely such a thing as screwing up your own full suspension hanging. Her initial intent with her setup (albeit flawed) and initial jump was successful but where she failed miserably was in the execution of the hanging itself. I always thought "with full suspension there is no screwing up" but now I know that is completely wrong. It has honestly caused me to re-assess as I previously stated. I'm sure that there have got to be ways to mitigate the issue of needless, helpless struggling and to avoid extending consciousness beyond the first 10 or 15 seconds.

You dont have to question this method because of one person's failure to place the noose above the Adam's apple. OUCH.

When attempting this method one has to be positioned right under the noose to place it above the Adam's apple and tightening the noose with the hands before kicken the chair away.

Not passing out is horrible. SI kicks from the pain and you go a little wild.

I think I saw the same video as you. Then again that is the only one I've seen and I'm pretty sure a lot of hanging videos are like that. Was she doing it from a ceiling fan? The SI, panic, and pain definitely kicked in for her. Maybe she was only crushing her windpipe and not her carotid arteries.

This is where having a plan proves its worth. Every attempt is unique and every method has issues. You need to adjust to avoid these as much as possible for your situation.
She seemed impulsive and there were unpleasant consequences.

Just a little.

So to clarify, the proper place to put the rope nearest to the base of the neck or under the Adam's apple?

Above the Adams apple

Above the Adams apple

Im confused now, I read it should be below on other threads.

Look it should not matter, the tightening should do away with consciousness. There always going to be pain

Probably the fact she used bed sheets plays a big role here. A well placed rope that is not too thick will compress the major arteries out and into your head. You loose consciousness very quickly. With a sheet, its quite possible the arteries were not compressed enough and she would be asphyxiated which takes longer.

I think I saw this same suicide.
