do any methods have no long-term injury/disability risk?

[Ah.ow]

I didn't remember a rating for this in pph.

I realize I might prefer less reliability if it means less body risk when an attempt fails.

I heard sn was low risk, but if hypoxia happens, that seems to have big consequences. so I wondered if there are alternatives, based on this?

All of them have risk. I think the "safest" is drowning alone at night because you are under water anyways. Nothing is saving you from that.

Hypoxia is a risk for most methods because the goal of every method is to get you to stop breathing. Just because something can happen doesn't mean it will. SN is generally one of the options with the least risk attached.

Guillotine absolutely can fail. And if it does it will likely leave you in a state worse than death.

I was just about to ask this, thank you! If I survive an attempt, my family shouldn't pay medical bills for someone who doesn't want to live.

is N because of reliability? or why else would it not be injuring? I worried when I was told alot of drugs have hypoxic effects, which can damage brains and nerves and bodies generally?

Murphys law.
If something can Go wrong, it will go wrong.
That's not bullshit!
There is no 100% reliable/predictable way to ctb.
I had a neighbor that had cancer. He shot himself in the head. The bullet bounced around in his head & wound up embedded in his jaw & causing him incredible pain. He died in the hospital....
Of his cancer!!!
Just look at the failures on this website.
People jump in front of trains & their internal organs get wrapped around the axles & live... Until they unwrap their guts. Then they bleed out & die. We tend to think in "boxes", ignoring outside of the box where the unexpected lies.
That's why very careful planning must take place, down to the minute details. It doesn't stop risk, but minimizes it somewhat.
Care must be taken in planning!

my highest worry at this point might be longterm injuries. failing attempts, and it seemed all other score categories, don't worry me nearly as much. but i don't remember a part for that worry, on the pph table. Murphy's law makes sense though.

Death is guaranteed with Nembutal. It's the same with the guillotine. There are cases of people who built it and they all had technical knowledge, no failures.

Hypoxia is a risk for most methods because the goal of every method is to get you to stop breathing. Just because something can happen doesn't mean it will. SN is generally one of the options with the least risk attached.

The guillotine is a method of execution rather than a method of suicide (for obvious reasons), historically used for capital executions. In terms of lethality, the guillotine is designed to be fatal, and once the blade comes down, death is virtually inevitable and immediate, unless there are exceptional and absurd circumstances close to 0.00000001%. If we consider suicide in general, lethality varies depending on the method used. However, the guillotine, by its nature, has a lethality rate of 100%.

Euthanasia. The doctor will use an extremely reliable method, and they can monitor the patient and remediate any issues if they do arise.

Skydiving. Technically people have survived even that, but it's extremely rare. The downside is accessibility, you have to have a significant amount of experience to jump solo and it's expensive.

There were many problems & fails with the guillotine. That's a reason it ceased being used.

The guillotine is no longer used because it is considered brutal and bloody. Never mind its lethality and absence of pain. And then for the abolition of the death penalty throughout Europe. What are the documented failures?
