Discussion Why are so many people successful with hanging?

[Breadbfra]

Genuine - and I hope not stupid - question. In my country most people ctb by hanging, or jumping off bridges. I've known myself people who died by full suspension and I can assure they had little to know "space" to practice and they fully accomplished breaking their neck or passing away successfully.
I bumped into this forum and only here I found not only a deeply understanding space - but a resourceful one too.
I've started to read about hanging and I found many things I would not have known without doing research about anatomy, etc and, to be honest, except for this site it's specifical information hard to reach for on the normal internet.

English isn't my native language so it's difficult to explain myself, but - I know you can die by ingesting SN, but how do I do it, the fasting times, and everything else? I woulnd't have known about that without this site. I know everyone knows that you can die by hanging, but how do they do that so easily, without prior experimenting, searching for the specific parts of your organs that you have to block etc?

Thanks for the answers in advance and sorry for grammar mistakes

I guess it's simply constriction and gravity doing their job.

When there is will and determination, anything can be successful. Many people hang themselves impulsively and they succeed because they are determined to die. They want it so bad that they succeed.

I guess that's all, but I wonder how they don't get into ropes breaking, etc.

Roughly 80% of hangings are successful. The other 20% will be discovered early, rope snapped etc.

Yes. There are cases of failure. Some end up veggie.

Hanging is highly successful. It's the best method to go with if you're at your wit's end and can't put together something more peaceful. Most people don't go with it because they're afraid of the pain and the (very slim) chance of ending up a vegetable. All these advanced techniques of strangulation are trying to circumvent the painful/suffering aspect. I truly believe that if one really, really wanted to die they would just pick up a rope and get it done.

Full suspension hanging is simple to perform, the materials are easy to get and its difficult to turn back once you started it. If the attachment and the material you use to hung are strong, and have 20-30 minutes alone time then death is certain (less pain or painfully). The material type and its position on the neck will decide weather you will die in less pain or painfully. Little to no research is needed to die but its best to research more to minimize the chance of painful death.

I said simple to perform but at the same time it takes a lot of courage (if not for all then at least for most ppl).

Because hanging is a simple method that leaves a lot of leeway for the design and choice of materials. A noose around your neck is all you need. The rest is done by gravity. It doesn't require any special preparation, and it usually works even if the execution is simply disastrous. Unfortunately, these cases are often not very pleasant, but they work

 

[Breadbfra]

Thanks y'all. :) but sometimes I specifically think about the people who die by breaking their neck via full suspension without prior researching or practicing. I mean, that has to require a little bit of thinking.

I wonder the same. I guess we're just idiots

It's simple for most but I'm just so bad with assembling things that I am concerned I'll break my neck. I would need someone to walk me thru the process physically and that is not possible. Sucks not being handy....

They're successful because hanging is dead simple (ha, sorry). Do you have a strong ligature? Do you have a sturdy anchor? Most people can answer that question positively with little to no preparation. The barrier to entry can be stepped over. The only thing you need to bring to the table is willpower.

Loved the pun tbh

With full suspension, if your anchor point is solid and your rope strong, there's no going back... from there, it most definitely will end, barring early discovery. However there are then many ways it can end, and that's why the resources here exist.

It is not impossible to find someone to help you with this. It may be hard, but it's not impossible.

Too bad that you don't live nearby.

I have to be so stupid because I wouldn't the ablem hang myself correctly

 

[muffin222]

I think it's pure despair and desperation to end it all more than anything

Me too lol

 

[Pan]

You ask "why are so many people successful with hanging?"::Because IT WORKS.

Roughly 80% of hangings are successful. The other 20% will be discovered early, rope snapped etc.

Actually, it is 87% successful.

 

[alexit]

Because it's quick to knock you out.

 

[Nymph]

Once you jump or kick the chair or whatever they're no Escape unless it's half suspension

 

[Forgotten]

It just works.
With a proper rope, knot and place there isn't much room for failure, it's just having enough courage to jump and there's no turning back. It's not necessary any information to do it, sure knot position and adding some soft padding can definitely help, but as long you have that rope tied around your neck and properly secured, you're going to the other side in some way or another.

Well, as long as your head is up and your feet are down, you've already done a lot right. The rest comes (almost) by itself.

 

[Blue LIPS]

I've noticed in some other countries the person is just empty on the inside and just goes for it. None of this "practicing" dipping your toes in the pool shit.

Full suspension doesn't break your neck - long drop does but it's a different method...
I swear to god there's so much misinformation and confusion about hanging :x

My cousin killed herself by hanging. She used a clothesline rope. I don't know if she suffered long before she lost consciousness, but she did it silently during the night. I have thought about using this method several times but I am afraid of not dying and having serious consequences (sequels). In Japan, some people hang themselves by tying towels on the door handle. I think it takes a lot of resistance to succeed in this way.

This is not meant to be an insult, just well-intentioned advice.

You should do your research before you start thinking. Otherwise, wrong conclusions are burned in that make you feel insecure

 

[CarbonMonoxide]

Honestly speaking, hanging is the easiest way to die. The materials are available everywhere, ropes, belts, towels, even the clothes on your body. If done properly using full suspension method, you only have a little discomfort in the few seconds before you lose consciousness. It is also incredibly difficult to back out from. Kick the chair and die. In my country almost all suicides are by hanging.

There's so much misinformation and confusion about hanging :x

This is true. Even the hanging megathread on ss is super confusing.
