Why hanging from a harness can be so dangerous The exact cause of hanging syndrome has been controversial for decades. In recent years, various experimental studies and hanging tests have provided information on the genesis of hanging syndrome. The cause of death is essentially a generalized reduction in the body's blood flow, causing multiple organ failure. Two mechanisms in particular appear to play a relevant role in the development of hanging syndrome. On the one hand, due to gravity, blood accumulates in the veins of the hanging parts of the body, especially in the legs. This is exacerbated by reduced muscle activity, for example due to exhaustion, low blood sugar, pain, injury, hypothermia or loss of consciousness. This in turn can lead to reduced blood circulation and thus damage to various organs. However, more recent studies suggest that the main cause of unconsciousness is a so-called vasovagal reflex response, which appears to be characterized by a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure. This results in reduced blood flow and oxygen starvation to the brain, which in turn leads to unconsciousness. Furthermore, all muscles relax, so that in an unconscious patient tied to the rope, the rope point is the highest point.
Thanks to this "arched" position (photo above), the reflux of blood from the legs is very limited and the reduced blood flow to the brain cannot be reversed.


The time until this vasovagal reflex response occurs is subject to individual differences and in extreme cases can be only a few minutes. The time between the appearance of the first symptoms and loss of consciousness is also very individual and, in the worst case, can be less than a minute.

The results of the study on inert suspension syndrome. The tests conducted during the "Suspended" study highlighted important data. Suspension and resistance times are highly variable but… We went from resistance, in some subjects, of a few minutes to resistance of over 50 minutes (no one reached 60). The average resistance in the suspended position was 29 minutes. Different subjects led to different results but there is no obvious correlation between age, sex or level of training with the possibility of having a syncopal event. Even highly trained people can suffer from limp suspension syndrome

Klingt friedlich. Aber wie lange wird es dauern? Es muss noch viel Zeit gefunden werden.

Per diejenigen, die die wahre Absicht verbergen wollen, mag es nicht wie Selbstmord erscheinen. Es scheint, dass die Hitze den Prozess beschleunigt. Es kann von einer Minute bis zu 50 passieren, niemals länger als 60, heißt es.

La cause exacte du syndrome de la pendentif est controversée depuis des décennies. Ces dernières années, diverses études expérimentales et tests de pendaison ont fourni des informations sur la genèse du syndrome de la pendaison. La cause du décès est essentiellement une réduction généralisée du flux sanguin du corps, entraînant une défaillance de plusieurs organes. Deux mécanismes en particulier semblent jouer un rôle important dans le développement du syndrome de la pendaison. D'une part, en raison de la gravité, le sang s'accumule dans les veines des parties suspendues du corps, en particulier dans les jambes. Ce phénomène est aggravé par une activité musculaire réduite, par exemple en raison de l'épuisement, d'une hypoglycémie, de douleurs, de blessures, d'hypothermie ou de perte de conscience. Cela peut à son tour entraîner une réduction de la circulation sanguine et donc des dommages à divers organes. Cependant, des études plus récentes ont révélé que la principale cause de l'inconscience est une réponse réflexe vasovagale, qui semble caractérisée par une chute soudaine du rythme cardiaque et de la pression artérielle. Cela entraîne une réduction du flux sanguin et un manque d'oxygène au cerveau, ce qui à son tour conduit à l'inconscience. De plus, tous les muscles se détendent, de sorte que chez un patient inconscient attaché à la corde, la pointe de la corde est le point le plus élevé.
Grâce à cette position « cambrée » (photo ci-dessus), le reflux sanguin des jambes est très limité et le flux sanguin réduit vers le cerveau ne peut pas être inversé.


Le temps nécessaire à l'apparition de ce réflexe vasovagal varie d'un individu à l'autre et peut, dans les cas extrêmes, n'être que de quelques minutes. Le temps entre l'apparition des premiers symptômes et la perte de connaissance est également très individuel et peut, dans le pire des cas, être inférieur à une minute.

Les résultats de l'étude sur le syndrome de suspension inerte. Les tests réalisés lors de l'étude « Suspended » ont mis en évidence des données importantes. Les temps de suspension et de résistance sont très variables mais… On est passé d'une résistance, chez certains sujets, de quelques minutes à une résistance de plus de 50 minutes (personne n'a atteint 60). La résistance moyenne en position suspendue était de 29 minutes. Différents sujets ont conduit à des résultats différents mais il n'y a pas de corrélation évidente entre l'âge, le sexe ou le niveau d'entraînement avec la possibilité d'avoir un événement syncopal. Même des personnes très entraînées peuvent souffrir du syndrome de

suspension inerte

Unconciousness, ok, with a maximum of 50 minutes to fall unconciousness. But multiple organ failure ! No idea how much time to die and if death happens for sure ? Because if it's unconciousness and next a coma with multiple organ failure, it's terrible.
