Discussion does hanging or jumping seem worse to you?

[Marz]

Hanging has the benefits of having more control over it, at least the way I see it.
Both are terrifying in their own right.
Jumping in other hand requires more faith. Both are risky, but seems like jumping lifts up some existential burden. It's all left to gravity and luck.
Hanging is more tricky. I have tried it several times but always failed either because of SI, badly made knots, or weak ligatures.
What do y'all think?

Jumping. I'm scared of heights. I couldn't get close enough to the edge to jump. With my luck, I would end up with a ton of broken bones and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life.

Couldn't do either if I'm honest.

I am going with hanging because it's more reliable. You just have to do the research to make sure you get the method right. I would jump too, but that would be my plan b. There's 2 bridges near me one 30m one 40m so I have thought about it. My main worry would be surviving, whereas with hanging, I know it will kill me.

For me jumping is worse. Hanging is quick and nearly painless with a high success rate.

Jumping definitely seems worse to me, I'm not crazy about heights and I'd be too worried incase it didn't work. I've tried hanging before and I failed but it didn't leave me with any long term damage, but with jumping if u fail it would definitely mess u up. I'm terrible at everything, including ctb, so I don't think I'd ever jump.

I can't really do hanging as of late because my apartment is tiny and I live with my mom and brother. In other hand, jumping cannot be interrupted once you jump. That's how I'm seeing it. I live high up enough to die if I fall head down.
But I would prefer hanging. I'm not 100% sure it'd work anyways because our closet's rack is strong but made of plastic. I don't know how much weight it'd hold. And I am never alone at home to even test it anyways.
I honestly wanna just jump tonight. I'm so sick of it all.

And if you ahng yourself from tree?

And if you ahng yourself from tree?

I live in a metropolitan area with barely any parks and most trees in those places are too high. They're all surveyed by police anyways.
Most people kill themselves here jumpimg under trains, off buildings or jumping in front of traffic/from bridges because if it.

I have a strong mental block toward hanging, since I can easely see myself dancing in the air for possibly several minute while agonizing , and everything else related to that. Maybe different if I could build a 4 Meter high support or more and literraly jumping from it to rapidly, while avid a weight attached to be sure to break my neck and having a severe trauma enough for my brain to pass out... Sigh.
Jumping would be nice after snorting some h and having a high on weed plus alcohol to be totally tripping and falling inhibited from everything... But then you have to find a 50 metter or more high building enough, and without any people roaming where you can fall onto or traumatize with your "splat".

Hanging is quite easy and painless if done right. And doing it right is not that hard, even if this forum might suggest otherwise. Jumping seems very scary and messy, and collateral damage is possible.

That's what I'm worried about. I don't want to lose the last bit of control I have left and be even more trapped in my body than I already am. My mind is all I have, if I become a vegetable or something, I can no longer help myself or hide myself away, no longer protect any last piece of dignity or end the suffering.
I am terrified of this happening, but I cannot continue with this life, the way things are.

I can't do hanging though, I've somewhat tried and I also don't want to die by suffocation, id rather die by impact

I think hanging is worse than jumping.

I'll be jumping in the near future and at 531ft high death is almost a certainly.

 

[Haku]

From the people I've seen post on this site, some prefer pain and would do this, for me, I already suffer with enough physical pain, so I wouldn't want my death painful. I almost attempted to jump off a bridge once, broke the number 1 rule, I looked down, and backed out, hanging, I've heard some people say it could be painless, doesnt seem painless to me. I would like to go the Night Night method, it's like hanging, but not hanging, and I know someone in the military who said night night is painless, so that's the way I want to go, or SN, if NN doesnt work out for me.

 

[charlottewilts]

hanging seems better to me, if done in the right place. i'm terribly afraid that i'd fuck up and end up paralysed if i tried to jump, or that i'd linger by the edge too long and some Samaritan would call the cops and get me landed in the psych ward again.

 

[Dishonorable]

I would not chose any of them. they both seem pretty painful to me and I also do not have the courage to jump of a building or hang myself.

 

[Astral316]

If you have a 98+% rate of success, jumping...

If you don't, but have a sturdy anchor point that is secluded... hanging.

 

[Gorgon]

Jumping seems scarier, more chances for something to go wrong and if it does the outcome us also worse

 

[Fml]

I'd say hanging seems worse because you'd probably be suffering for longer before you die and as I've read on here, hanging is very hard to pull off. As long as the height you jump from is high enough to ensure pretty immediate death then it should work quite easily.

Nearly painless for some but not for all...look at other first hand accounts of full suspension hanging..they say it was like agony. Perhaps you need the knot just right on your neck or something because when I hung full suspension for a few seconds it will excruciating
