Hi, Apologies for the repeated posts about my hanging method. I have read the resources and had some helpful responses from Jesibel, Wearewinning and others (thank you).....I don't know if you are able to help further if I show you and explain my set up?
I have been practising my set up, as mentioned in previous posts im looking for full suspension but the highest point in my house (my chosen place) is just 1.5 foot above me. When I wrote my last post I didn't account for the fact that my head wouldn't be at that mark, as didn't take the rope into account. I'm sounding like a broken record so I apologise but obviously would not want this method to go wrong and if people feel it's unlikely to succeed or turn into a partial I'd appreciate their thoughts (I'm avoiding a partial as would just rather gravity take its course).
I'll attach pictures - im unsure if I am overthinking things or being rightly cautious. So the first picture is of a loose set up with a overhand knot (I think its callled) and noose with stopper - here I would tie overhand knot first and put my head in BUT after practising lightly I think the noose with drop too far- you can't see from the pictures but it does drop. I think this may be too risky? unsure?
Next picture, I ties the noose with stopper around my neck first and then tied a bowline knot (will put a stopper on but haven't in the picture). There will be less of a drop but still worried too much (not much more than a foot to play with i imagine so not ideal....). To make things more difficult i suffer with brain injury & I'm unable to learn a new task (like tieing a knot from memory....I could do it 200x but still would not learn) so I have to put my phone on the boxes and watch and video and keep pausing and watching what I'm doing. It is manageable but slow going. I would then have to turn, ensure the knot is at the back of my neck and positioned correctly and drop. What I'm standing on would be stable so I wouldn't worry about balance but it's not an ideal situation I appreciate. So I don't know if the photos help. I think I was being totally unrealiatic then it I would rather know?
I do have SN as a back up method but would perfer a full suspension just to get it done with. But obviously don't want to end up with more damage than I already have. I wondered what people's thoughts were, would really appreciate any?
I feel like I'm asking the same advice so I do apologise. I think probably to avoid dropping so much I will have to tie the rope to my neck first, tie to point, turn and drop but still a little worried. The videos I've watched people have really long ropes and as you can see my point isn't massive far of the ceiling. So unsure if I'm overthinking but also not something I want to not think or understand.
Im also 5'6 and top of point is 'near' 7ft but take into account my head isn't at 7ft....so could he nearer 6.5 foot for example. I worried my want for this to work could be clouding my judgement of it not working (combined with poor brain functioning). Apologies, for the ramble and repeated questions .
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.
