Resource Why everyone fails at partial hanging

[Evelyn Lane]

Hi everyone,

I know there's plenty of people here that tried partial suspension hanging and didn't get the desired results.

Well, everyone fails because they forget to hold their breath. This is actually very important because if you don't do that, you will just start hyperventilating in an attempt to feel your brain oxygen.

A simple experiment for you all: tie a slip knot (noose knot) on a rope or, what I used, a bathrobe belt. Put it around your neck as high up as possible, just below the chin. Tighten the rope, making sure that the know is perfectly behind your neck. Exhale fully and take a deep breath and hold it. Then immediately pull the rope upwards, above your head with one hand, and pinch your nose with the other hand while keeping your lips closed.
If done right, you should start to spasm. This could also lead to very, very brief loss of consciousness, however I don't have any evidence of that since I had nobody to verify that for me.
Try this while standing up if you don't believe me.

Although I'm not keen on partial hanging (I prefer full suspension hanging), I believe this is an important finding and so I decided to share it with this community.

Let me know your thoughts :)

I'm not sure why you're doing this thread but a lot of people have said that you don't choose to "not hold your breath", it's survival instincts kicking in.

But it helps in understanding how a successful partial hanging works. It's one step closer to achieving the goal, potentially. Also, if you hold your breath for long enough you will see results, meanwhile many people don't get any results. I get that you will release your nose after like 10 seconds or so, but my point still stands.

Well if you hold your breath for long enough you don't even need to hang yourself

Seems to me you're just being a smart-ass. And not helping, adding to that.

Damn, you're hurting my feelings there. Have you tried the experiment, before judging me? You might not appreciate my insights, but if someone else out there does, then that's a good thing. I know I'd have liked to have this knowledge years ago when I was crazy about partial hanging. If you got nothing to say, just keep quiet.

So I decided to try this standing up and it really does work! I wasn't to hold my breath for long due to SI but I already started feeling very faint about 5 seconds in and I got to the verge of hitting unconsciousness only a few seconds later whilst having slight body spasms, still tugging on the rope. Thanks for this!!

This is my method for partial…

I tried this before, but it never worked for me. Can you actually manage to pull that off?

 

[chronicdissosiation]

thank you for this! ive been struggling with trying to do it properly lol. always pressed on my jugulars not my carotid arteries. ill be trying this next time :)

Glad you found this of use. To compress the carotid arteries you just have to put more pressure, that's all really. Your throat will definitely hurt from this, but it is the only way. Remember to place the noose high up.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if this will definitely help in a partial suspension hanging attempt. I posted this as a little experiment of how it should go, ideally. Because you're not putting enough pressure, you can still breathe from your airway (this doesn't happen if you were to do full suspension hanging).

Anyway, hope you make good use of this knowledge and if you find any new insight on partial suspension hanging, please share with us. All the best to you :)

I have tried the fainting without a rope and it is quite effective and I can see how it would work except for one thing. How do you get the rope around your neck as you stand up again. You are half way toward collapsing and fixing the rope takes some care.

On the otherhand if you crouch on a stool with the noose on already - it might work

When I was hanging I never payed attention to my breath, I didn´d even realise that I am not able to breathe. Unconscousness comes within 5 to 15 second and this is long bevore the urge to breathe starts.

In my opinion partial hanging is less succesfull (in therms of death) than full hanging for the following reasons:

1. The pressure to the neck is not defined, it depends on how you sit, hang or lie. This makes it difficult to pass out and you may get an exploding head feeling. Full suspension effects more than enaugh pressure and you cannot reduce this pressure intentionally.

2. You can stop suspension hanging as long as you are conscious and it needs a strong will not to stand up when you feel unconsciousness coming. I tried full hanging by lifting my feet off the ground und it was very hard to keep my feet up when I started to feel dizzy.

3. Even when you black out you can free yourself in a state of semi-consciousness. A friend of me hanged himself partial, passed out and found himself lying on the ground. He was obviously moving so violently that his neckmuscles were severe injured.

I guess many people who choose partial because they want to reduce the force to neck, but no pain no gain.

 

[Evelyn Lane]

I want to post an update about this. I forgot to mention that when you're doing partial suspension hanging if you feel like your head is about to explode and feel pressure behind the eyes, it means you're not applying enough pressure on the noose.
Also, I want to say that when you do partial suspension hanging you will notice that you start breathing louder and louder: the louder you breathe, the better you've compressed your carotid arteries. Enduring this air hunger is uncomfortable (one of the reasons why I prefer full suspension hanging instead). Partial suspension hanging is therefore a very loud and noisy method and not at all quiet (unless you can miraculously hold your breath all the way through).

I don't know what happens if you can endure this air hunger, if you will pass out from this or not, because I haven't had the opportunity to test this out. If anyone has experience with this and managed to pass out from this, you're welcome to share your findings.

Will a charger cable work?

I haven't tried this experiment with a charger cable so I'm not able to comment on it. Maybe you could try it out and tell us if you get any noteworthy results.

do you mean like a phone charger?

my fat ass broke it !?!?!

im like 100lbs and i tried partial hanging with a door and two chairs. the heavy chair was the anchor and the door was acting as a suspension point. I think i need to try harder next time but could you give me tips on what went wrong?

do you mean like a phone charger?

yes

do you mean like a phone charger?

yes

Everyone fails at partial hanging because they aren't a celebrity in a hotel room.

 

[thatisitguy]

I tried hanging myself and it wasn't pleasant. Your saliva glands go into overdrive and your head swells. You really need to find the right angle. I gave up and the next day my eyes were "bulged" out. My vision has never been the same.

 

[Evelyn Lane]

UPDATE!

I found a thread in which someone lost consciousness during a partial suspension hanging attempt. I managed to ask them some questions and what they said has confirmed my theories on how to succeed at partial suspension hanging. Take a look:

i just survived a suicide attempt by partial suspension AMA

about 2 days ago i attempted suicide with a hdmi cord and in all honestly it was very quick and painless, I only survived because I tied the cord incorrectly so when I spasmed I must of slipped out of it somehow. AMA

that's hilarious

 

[potatocube]

My SI kicks in at around 30 seconds after holding the breath. Immediately feeling pulse around the temple and oral cavity after 1 minute. I will keep trying for the unconsciousness

Spoiler: Bruise

I was using a bathrobe belt and bruise appeared after 4th try.
Curious if it is too low?
