    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

How reliable is the tourniquet method (if done with an actual tourniquet) and its variants (e.g. ratchet tie-down)? Specifically, what is the risk of it coming undone during convulsions? I'm aware that a bag can be used to increase the chance of death, but that is not foolproof.

I don't believe it's very reliable, I've only ever heard it discussed here.

Chris Docker mentions it in Five Last Acts. There have been confirmed deaths with compression (other than ofc partial) and a tourniquet specifically.
