This video explains "the surge". This is why hanging, partial or full, is an AWFUL way to go and you don't just pass out painlessly. You panic horrend

doesn't this apply to any non-instantaneous death? why hanging specifically? the idea with hanging is that you're unconscious long before you actually die.

It explains whay happens when oxygen to the brain is reduced too much. I experienced it myself multiple times with hanging, I dont know why it happens with hanging and not SN for example. I'm sorrybbut that theory floating about on here that everyone repeats is crap. Your brain knocks you out of consciousness back into consciousness for brief, frantic, terrifying periods or panic that absolutely force you to give up. So full suspension with no backout option is fucking stupid and inviting torture of yourself.

I'm not making this shit up.

Cardiac arrest and hanging have the same effect on the brain; in both cases, blood flow to the brain ceases. The video mentions that, just like hanging, unconsciousness sets in after about 10 seconds in cases of cardiac arrest. Unlike hanging, however, brain waves were apparently measured in the clinic during cardiac arrest, and according to these measurements, patterns appeared in some of the dying patients that suggested a form of consciousness. Whether the heart stopped beating first in these cases is not clear from the video.

I'm reminded of the video of a Filipino woman who hanged herself and, after hanging for over a minute and apparently losing consciousness, tried to climb back up the ladder.

While near-death experiences suggest that these experiences were rather pleasant, this says absolutely nothing about what we experience when dying, since they didn't actually die.

If I were to regain consciousness while hanging and find myself unable to breathe, that would certainly be an unpleasant surprise.
