Laying down will cause you to choke if you throw up, and more chance of swallowing tongue, I believe.
i didn't know there were chances of throwing up with iner gases...
There is no such thing as swallowing your tongue. It is anchored in the mouth and cannot be swallowed. As a former EMT my guess is you've watched a tv show with people seizing and being turned on their side and something put in the mouth. That is not done. U turn the person to prevent choking or aspiration on vomit. There is a great chance of biting one's tongue but u won't swallow it.
This usually occurs due to an abnormal issue with the size of the tongue or something like apnea. What does it matter however if your goal is to die what position your tongue is in? R u concerned it will kick off SI? The bigger issue is the vomiting. That is the concern when someone seizes or passes out. I don't want to vomit at the end either so being upright is of course better. I would think in bed propped on one of those slanted pillows used to elevate you would work just fine.
I think I read doing it in bed is not a good idea because the bag can move or something...
You'd have to be a little creative. Obviously, you should be able to do one wrist with no problem. For the other one, you'd probably have to utilize something that you could use your teeth on to pull it tight. A heavy zip strap comes to mind. Also, handcuffs can be manipulated with a single hand with practice. I don't feel like looking for it, but there's a picture of Vinny's setup and he used wrist restraints. Ofc, you need the right type of chair to allow restraints of some kind to be used.
Your right, maybe a blocked airway wouldn't matter much — unless there's still enough oxygen in the brain for the body to kick back into consciousness. who knows, Probably a far-fetched scenario
Whether sitting up or lying down u r going to want to tear off the bag im afraid.
But there's more risk of causing an involuntary action (like ripping the bag off) if you choose to lay on your back rather than be seated
I'm not quite sure what difference it makes if u r lying down or sitting up. I have never heard of that.
are you planning to tie your wrists?
If you read Boris Killian's book, Methods for a Safe and Peaceful Death, he says, "Do not lie on your back" In my opinion, mechanically, it makes sense to be seated upright.
Yes if I choose that option, I will do
My ankles would be bound together and tied to the sofa chair. My arms are positioned beside my thighs, secured with rope that runs under my thighs, with slipknots at the ends.
Wherever suits you, you don't have to tie the ankles together. For me, ankles, chest, hands tied down as I don't want to risk flapping about.
