Several "redditors"? Then they weren't doing it correctly and no one is going to be brain dead if they pull the bag off last second so you are wrong there too. And if these redditors underwent such a tragedy so as to be brain dead how are they able to post on reddit? Also, you have heard several accounts of this? I doubt it.
Sorry but hundreds of people have died using this method alone in the US in the past several years. And elsewhere across the world.
Looking out for the safety and well being of people doesn't include citing random accounts of people who tried this from "reddit". These are anecdotal accounts that are probably false. Failures with the helium/nitrogen method do, in fact, exist but there was air getting into the bag or via the tubes and this is easily detected prior to executing.
This method has even been employed at Dignitas for those for whom N or other drugs were unsuitable
I agree with Smilla. Nitrogen has a 100% success rate if done correctly. I already have N, but I may end up using nitrogen instead.
For those of you in the US who want to CTB due to serious health issues, the Final Exit Network actually has volunteers who help you with the nitrogen method:
