Help Should I go for a thicker rope?

[imonadeadline]

All ropes work but I want this to be as quick and comfortable as possible (there is no perfect death though, I understand that.)

I'm fairly thin, around 60kg-70kg, 5"6 tall. Would this 6mm rope work? Or should I opt for a thicker one? I suppose I can technically double it but I'm not really great with ropes.

Thanks in advance for any advice given. This is pretty short notice.

You should go for 12mm. Strength and comfort are important.

I, 90 kg use 20 mm rope and pass out regularly when I hang completly. According to the rule of three 13 mm should be all right for you.

How do you determine thickness - by the weight of the person?

 

[Worndown]

12 mm in all but the cheapest rope should hold 200 pounds. I suggest having a 50% safety factor due to involuntary movements after you pass out. You weigh 200, get a rope that holds 300.
Good stores or online should have a strength chart. Double braided dock line is very strong. Check the charts attached. No rope can be too strong!

Put the noose around your neck, throw the rope over a vertical beam, hold the end of the rope with your hands and lift your knees. When you pass out you fall on the ground which should be soft.
