Shouldnt it be the same for both? Because both methods aim for caritoid arteries compression?
It's true that both aim to compress the carotid arteries, but the problem is that if you place the rope at the base of the neck during full suspension, it will either pinch your neck's skin badly or it will slide up to the top of the neck.
The placing the rope at the base of the neck is most comfortable, but to me it just doesn't seem practical. At least not for full suspension.
I do remember trying to commit suicide by placing the rope at the base of the neck because I thought it would make partial suspension more painless, but I ended up with no results.
However, manually compressing my neck at the base using hands it does feel much better than doing it at the top, and I can feel it working. But trying to do that with a rope is a different story.
