Help thin or thick rope

[singularity3]

I have a 1cm rope and another one of 1,5cm thick, I don't know which would be better for a complete suspension....

def the 2cm, the 1cm looks like it'd be quicker to snap.

I don't think either of them will break. My question is more about which one would kill me faster.

2 cm seems a bit thick. 1cm may better cut to the chase, blocking blood flow.

2 cm me parece un poco grueso. 1 cm puede ser mejor para ir al grano, bloqueando el flujo sanguíneo.

sorry it's 1,5cm

That sounds about what I used. I didn't achieve full hanging, but it was my impression that a thinner rope would have worked better. So I still recommend the thinner rope.

1cm/1mm is good, i think the optimal would be 1.2cm/12mm, just my personal opinion.
Since you're doing a full suspension, make sure it can withstand your weight.

Everything I've been researching has been talking about thicker rope, around 1", and I was surprised at how big it was when I ended up getting some. Is thinner rope just another method or does anyone know if there's a significant difference? I'm curious if I should change out what I have.
