i'm not saying full suspension is worse than partial, obviously not.
but read these official statistics, from a real dot gov site.
very informative site with tons of info:

"Types of hanging

Complete hanging was seen in 40 cases (16.4%)—30 men and 10 women—and partial (incomplete) hanging in 204 cases (83.6%)—167 men and 37 women."

I think it's just that more people try partial that is why the number is higher. You would have to know the percentage of failures based on attempts to be able to see how successful partial is.

yes. but the big notion on here, i've noticed, is that partial fails pretty much everytime... and that's just not the impression i get from those statistics,
that's all i'm saying

There's no data on failures or total hanging attempts in the paper I could find. All this really tells us is that partial hanging is more popular as a total share of the ~6500 deaths surveyed.

The offical numbers in the paper pretty much only show that more people do partial hanging than full suspension. the whole study tooks Fatalites as a whole so in both 40 cases (full) and 204 (partial) the sucess rate was 100%. Even in the executions the choice of method was not based on fatality rate but on the message it was supossed to send. Partials in offical executions were done out of humanitarian reasons (same as long drops).

You're title strongly implies a very different assertion.

Be beneficial next time to more accurately describe what the paper is saying and the actual conclusion you drew.

Current title is rather click-baity

Even SN or a firearm CTB can fail if done incorrectly just because something is done incorrectly doesnt mean its not as lethal thats why i put offical hangings as an example. Failures of a certain method because of the mistake by the user does not equal lethality of the method

meh whatever... i say in the post that "i'm not saying full suspension is worse than partial, obviously not."
as literally the first line, so...

oh and i even used the word statistically, so absolutely not click bait
I'm so confused as what you're even trying to argue at this point

That doesn't count the number of partial compared to full suspension attempts~ if 99.9% of people attempt partial, then partial is still not very effective (as we have seen through the numerous failures here [including my own~ >_<])~
However, in the same manner, the attempts of SS users are not a random population and can not be extrapolated to apply for all people~ that isn't to say that if you're an SS user, you will fail partial, since that's causation where there probably is none~ but that well, if you're an SS who announces that they're going to die via partial, you will statistically more than likely fail~
I think there was some study on the most effective methods and their % chances of success, but idk where it's at~ >_<
Thank you high school stats class and congrats on teacher of the year, my 12th grade math teacher~ xD

I think if you do it right it's pretty successful. I can think of 3 famous people that died from partial. Robin Williams, Kate Spade & Wren Scott.

No one is caught up on technicalities.

Everyone is confused by you making claims not supported by the actual study and then flip-flopping your story multiple times.

If you want to discuss and share a study, just do that next time without the random unsupported claims. 🙂
