Discussion Discussion knot about hangman or noose knot

[Yonlux]

Could someone explain to me why the hangman's noose is not ideal for full suspension hanging?
I researched and researched, and I still don't quite understand the logic behind the noose knot being "superior/correct", to be honest, it seems less ideal in my eyes, could anyone share their arguments and views on it?
I would be happy to talk about

It was designed for long drop executions.This noose really does not tighten. That big coil of rope is supposed to provide the leverage to break your neck when you hit bottom.

Could you please tell me what noose tightens the best for full hanging ?

Some form of slip knot.
The hangman's knot was designed for long drop executions. Unless you know where to get a gallows, use a slip knot with no drop.
Please read...

The hangman's knot or hangman's noose (also known as a collar during Elizabethan times) is a well-known knot most often associated with its use in hanging. For a hanging, the knot of the rope is typically placed under or just behind the left ear. As the blow when the condemned drops to the end of the rope is supposed to break the neck (for modern "long-drop" hangings), this knot can add additional striking force against the head and neck. The knot is non-jamming but tends to resist attempts to loosen it.
