This story has put me off doing the hanging method.

[stormy_night]

This man was a father and he was left paralysed, brain damaged and unable to speak after failed suicide hanging method. Basically, he became a vegetable and a burden to those who have to take care of him. What are the success rate in hanging? Do you think what happens to this man is common? I wonder how he survived the hanging method. Please read the article and share your opinion on this.

Seems like he was found before death is all. Just needed more privacy.

this! Being found before death is the main reason this method fails. I would do mine in the middle of the night and lock the door by morning I would be long gone.

It's because he was found and "rescued"

 

[Hanger]

It´s the same with every method if you are found before your life is over

 

[Desperate_Soul]

Since this article was made a year or so ago, I honestly wonder what happened to the guy. He couldn't communicate then, but after the funds for a computer for him, I wonder if the first words he communicated was 'kill me now'...

'' after he sent a worrying text message''

Once again the phone foils the plan. People just can't help themselves using their phone. It is your enemy.

This is actually what stops me from using the compression method. You can't fail a hanging if you do it right unless you're found. But a tourniquet can always untie.

 

[stormy_night]

I should have read the article properly. Now I can see why he survived. This is why you never want to be discovered during your suicide attempt.

Most important lesson

Oh put the poor sod down ffs infuriating to read.

I've read that story before, too.

I understand that with hanging, you want to give yourself at least 30 minutes where you won't be found. I don't really understand when people are discovered when they're hanging. It makes me think they did it rashly, without planning. If you want to fail, don't plan!

If you do hanging, just give yourself a small amount of time where you won't be found. You need much less time this way than you do with other methods. With many types of poisoning, you really need many hours, in case it doesn't work quickly.

I decided to test out partial suspension today, using a soft leather belt and my bedframe, to see whether I could tolerate it, if it felt scary. It was very comfortable and peaceful, actually. I might use that instead of poisoning. It gave me a lot of hope - like I could leave whenever I wanted, without a big hospital ordeal in case poisoning fails. I feel liberated.

Another thing is that I came across a thread here today showing pictures of people who did partial suspension. I didn't think they looked that bad. Like, their faces were normal colors and everything. It made me feel much better about being found after using that method - as that was a big hang-up for me.

I'm finding it's hard to find the right spot. Tried it for past day and all I have now is headache and sore throat and tingling in fingers

I failed hanging four years ago and spent the best part of two years not knowing what happened prior to 2012. I couldn't remember anything at all. Was kind of nice yet kind of frustrating. I had no ability to retain memory. I was lucky in a way that i didn't end up a vegetable. At the same time, It was very hard, I knew who I was, but I felt like I lost my whole identity. I hung, was found just before making it.. brain cells were killed drs said. I was so so so very close. I mean (this) close. And I also spent some time in a wheelchair. Wasn't nicw. I wont do hanging again sinc. But I do know it's a very high mortality rate doing it. I just personally wouldn't risk it again. Even though I tried again a couple of weeks ago. Again, I passed out, but I didn't quite make it. Was suspension/short drop. Failed.

These people don't understand, if you're attempting any suicide inside a building, you barricade yourself in your setup area. Get a dresser, put that shit right against the door. Don't risk becoming a veggie. Just barricade the door with anything strong.

 

[Ghab]

Most doors inside homes are actually made to be easy to break through, especially in cities where a fire in an apartment for instance is a huge risk to a whole block. Block it up, chairs, tables, the more the better. This ISNT advice like you can either do it or not, NO. if you DONT want to end up in a nursing home unable to move to even try to kill yourselves, BARRICADE.

 

[windingdown]

No,

pun?

No, honest. I thought people would look more gruesome.

 

[Caustic Cardinals]

If I go with hanging I'll do it from a fuck good year blimp

 

[Volatile]

This is why jumping off a high point is best

I have failed too, but I plan on hanging again without failing, full suspension that is..

I saw that article before and it's the reason why I will never attempt hanging.

God people piss me off. I know you clearly wanted to die and your permently paralyzed now so let's keep you alive! Life is always worth it! It doesn't matter we don't have any evidence we are still going to impose it on everyone we can! If you disagree you are ill! It's only natural to think star dust is special, And the entire purpose of the universe!

What happened ? How did you fail if you passed out

 

[SamK]

The first time when I failed and damaged my brain, I was sectioned on a section three in the mental hospital. That's six months long. I made a noose out of bra straps tied together and found a ligature point. I noticed all the staff were busy with an emergency and with my ligature ran to a bathroom (that at the time was awfully designed to ward off hanging risk btw.). I ran into a (what was supposed to be locked) bathroom and hung myself. I was so close, I had what Dani paradox explained. Went deaf, tingling in face, just felt like i was falling into a black hole and i knew it was a matter of time before that was it. Head pulsating etc. Then they were shouting my name running about the place to find me. They did, kicked open the door cut it off and I was taken to hospital. Face was mottled and had blood-rash all over , eyes and face for weeks and a bruise for god knows how long.. hence being so mad I didn't make it, I knew i was just so close. Anyway. that is that. I killed my brain cells.

How I failed a few weeks ago. Crap ligature.

I was experimenting (this is going to sound so stupid, but I was looking to make it more comfortable) I put the noose around the bed frame (solid oak, so quite sturdy) and lowered myself forwards towards the ground face down on my knees (going from kneeling position, to laying on tummy with arms at my side.. As I did so, I passed out very quickly (compressing left artery) and came to, whacking my face. The belt had loosened as I passed out. So whilst there was initially enough pressure to make me pass out, it wasn't constant, the moment it loosened blood rush back to my brain, and boom. Fail. I was kind of desperate though, I was using a thick leather belt. Not a good idea, though i know if i kept trying, and used a proper hanging point, it could have worked. Could. But i'm not going to consider it again
That's not to say hanging is unlikely to work. Its very sucessful i know that. But though i've come close to succeeding with it i'd personally not try it again, only because I find CO peaceful and has around the same success rate.

People don't realise how damaging methods involving oxygen deprivation are. Messing it up and you make your life even worse.

I don't see what drives people to do hanging or CO method, these freak me out personally. There are method with much less side effects, and I think this is why SN became so popular.
