Was this a homemade tourniquet or a bought one? Was looking to buy one lately. Do you know of any places physically that might sell one? Thanks sorry :)
I bought one and tourniquets are cheap and easily avaliable in most places. Even amazon sells them.
This is almost the same as night-night. You still breathe while having it on but it's harder to do so and not crush your windpipes. Problem with this method is it's hard to position correctly. It has many similar downsides to night-night but I like it better because tightening it seems easier.
In order to fully crush your windpipe you need 15-16kg weight of pressure. But to crush the carotid arteries you only need 5-6kg weight pressure. So ideally when you are tightening the torniquet and applying pressure you need to apply enough pressure to only block off the arteries and not the windpipe. That way you are still able to breath. This is why the method is called death by blood choke.
This is the main downside and thing to note about all blood choke type methods as it really comes down to compressing with the right amount of weight.
Yes, it is hard to know the exact pressure you are applying and people might continue tightening beyond enough.
