Regarding "brain damage" in these threads I cited several articles with information:

My friend hanged himself and was paralysed. Need help hanging experts!(Full suspension)

My friend from India hanged himself full suspension from a ceiling fan. He passed out in under 10 seconds (counted in his head and he used rope) however the fan broke and when he woke up he was laying and couldn't move for an hour. My question is for how long was he in the air until he fell...

You will need to practice until you find a good way to use it.

My question is can I use a door hinge as an anchor to support my weight in partial suspension hanging?

I couldn't use the Strap rated 830 that I talked about above. I'm using a narrower tie down strap rated at 500 lbs.

The door hinge is the on a closet or a room door.

The closet door is kind of small. I can go with a room door hinge.

I will either be kneeling or crouched on my toes. I'm 180 lbs.

So I guess I'm a huge idiot and got a rope that has WAY too much length on it. Is there a way to shorten it or perhaps tie it to the anchor in a different way? I'm using a decently thick braided polypropylene rope.

Yes, of course. You could cut it with a sharp knife and then burn the ends with a lighter or hot metal. You can wrap the excess around something and then tie it to the anchor. Get creative, I guess.

That last bit about cutting it has got me a tad confused. Why should I burn the ends once I do cut it? Would it be more difficult to tie or easier for it to break/come undone otherwise?

Make sure your rope is tied well so that it doesn't come loose or undone when you start convulsing. If your knot is tied well it shouldn't come undone when most of your (nearly) dead weight is on it.

Burning the ends melts it a bit and keeps it from fraying so it's a neat end to your rope. No it's not more difficult to tie and doesn't make it easier to break or come undone. This is what people who need strong ropes do like tying up your sailboat or other heavy things. In addition to cutting/burning it you could also tie bowline knots at the time of it to whatever it's hanging from to use some length in the loop. My ropes were really long and I cut and burned one end and have a large bowline knot tied at the top so I can raise/lower it as needed and also didn't know how much length my slipknot at the bottom would take up (it used more than I was expecting). I have a photo posted on the previous page of this discussion if you want to see.
