"Eased hanging" (where you ease your body into it, as opposed to fully dropping your body from a tall height), if it's executed correctly. It kills you by depriving your body of oxygen for a long enough time, as opposed to breaking your neck (which is what a full-drop-hanging would do).An easy way without strict requirements could work.

Out of all of the different suicide-methods that exists, "eased hanging" (when executed correctly) is the only suicide-method that's both very cheap, very simple, very available/attainable, very reliable, very effective, relatively quick, relatively painless, relatively non-scary, and relatively non-traumatising for the people who discover your body (plus it allows for a relatively nice-looking corpse, which allows for an open coffin at your funeral). The only other suicide-method that can kind of compete with all of these features of "eased hanging", is probably drowning.
In order to do "eased hanging", all you need (if you have a normal neck) is the right type of rope; a solid anchor-point that can hold your weight; the correct knot; the correct placement of the noose on your neck; and enough time for your body to die before being discovered/taken down by other people.
And if the "eased hanging" is executed correctly, then it's relatively painless, as you lose consciousness within seconds; and it's relatively quick, as your body dies in a matter of minutes (although your body should be hanging for 20-30 minutes, before being discovered/taken down by other people, if you want to be absolutely sure that your body is completely dead).
Watch some videos of suicide by "eased hanging", if you want to see the empirical evidences for these things - as well as learn exactly how to do "eased hanging" correctly.
Yes, it actually is. There are videos, as well as reports from people who have actually tried it, that empirically prove this. Besides, it's also true, purely in terms of principle - as it's simple physics.Sadly, this is not entirely true
No - partial hanging refers to the lower end of the body being in contact with the ground, while the person is hanging by the neck. (Hence why it's called partial hanging.)What you are referring to is "partial hanging"
No, it isn't difficult to find them, if a person has a normal neck (which the vast majority of people have).(...) it is much more difficult to find the carotid arteries than it at first seems.
Yes, they can - both in terms of full-suspension-hanging and partial hanging.First, you can't "ease in to it", or at least most people can't.
Not in terms of "eased in full-suspension-hanging" - if it's executed correctly.Your carotids are pressurized, and slowly trying to occlude them so that unconsciousness is lost is very difficult.
No, you don't; you can actually ease into it, and become unconscious quite quickly. It's not about the quickness or slowness of the squeezing; it's about the squeezing being hard enough (and in the right area on the neck) to actually cause enough pressure to close the carotid arteries in the neck. (And this is obvious if you actually think logically about this.)In order to block the carotids completely, you have to quickly squeeze them shut (...)
And those users that you're basing this on, obviously must have executed the hanging incorrectly (probably by doing partial hanging, which is sort of a "high-risk-form of hanging") - which is why they've reported those negative experiences regarding hanging, and why they have made those incorrect conclusions about hanging.In order to block the carotids completely, you have to quickly squeeze them shut - at least this is the reported experience of several users going back years in the 160 page hanging megathread in the resource section.
Yes, that's true for partial hanging.Furthermore, partial hanging relies on a delicate balance of specific rope/knot placement and body position. Any disruption to that, no matter how small, and pressure gets restored.
Those users must obviously have been using partial hanging; not "eased in full-suspension-hanging". And that's why they failed - because partial hanging makes it possible for the body to lift itself/change position while the person is unconscious (due to the body's automatic reactions while it's fighting to survive), which thereby relieves the pressure on the carotid arteries in the neck, which thereby fails the suicide-attempt.There are plenty of users here who managed to successfully occlude the carotids and lose consciousness, however they later woke up because of involuntary thrashing while they were out. Others have stood up while unconscious (...)
That's just the body's automatic reactions while it's fighting to survive, while the person itself is actually unconscious.(...) and indeed a posted study in the aforementioned thread details how scientists watched 8 live streamed hangings. In all 8 cases the people were witnessed extending their legs involuntarily.
Yes, partial hanging can be problematic as a hanging-method. It can work quite well, of course - but the risk of failure or problems during the hanging-process, is much higher with partial hanging, than it is with "eased in full-suspension-hanging".So, no, partial hangings are not quick and easy. They require a lot of trial and error just to find the sweet spot and pass out quickly.
Yes - and I mentioned all of those important aspects in my previous post in this thread (with the exception of "consideration of body-position", as that's irrelevant when doing "eased in full-suspension-hanging" - which is the form of hanging that I was primarily referring to, in my previous post in this thread).As mentioned, consideration of body position, the knots you tie, the type of rope you use, the anchor used, all come in to play.
Exactly. And this is true even if the person eases into the full-suspension-hanging (as opposed to doing a full-drop-hanging from a tall height).Don't get me wrong, people have been hanging themselves successfully for thousands of years without any planning or forethought. However, those are full suspensions, and I've studied full suspension for awhile now. Most people lose consciousness immediately, and it is a guaranteed quick and painless death.
If a person is a normal person who has a normal neck, and if the person executes the "eased in full-suspension-hanging" correctly, then the chance of failure is almost non-existent. This is because it's simple physics.However, there is still a chance that this doesn't happen and you start choking and panicking. A small chance, but it's still there.
Yes. This is true for both full-suspension-hanging (regardless of whether it's "eased in full-suspension-hanging", or "full-drop full-suspension-hanging") and partial hanging - but it's especially true for partial hanging, of course.TLDR Partial suspension involves a lot of variables that you must get right if you expect it to be painless, and you don't expect to survive.
That's because it's easier to get enough pressure on the carotid arteries in the neck, by "sitting in to them", or by quickly putting weight on them - specifically when doing partial hanging.From most anecdotal reports here, very few people are able to get their carotids pinched immediately with partial. And the ones who did become successful at doing that all claimed that they had to "sit in to it", or quickly put all their weight in.
It depends on how the body is positioned, and where the noose is located on the neck, after a person has eased into partial hanging; and whether or not the body/neck moves in a way that reduces pressure on the carotid arteries in the neck, while the person is unconscious.Dipping your toes in the water by easing in to it, while I understand WHY people do this, it's most likely not going to work.
Yes - which is exactly my point.It requires more courage, but if you want to quickly pass out from occlusion of the carotid arteries in a hanging, your best chances are with full suspension.
Yes. This is especially true for partial hanging - but it's also true for full-suspension-hanging (regardless of whether it's "eased in full-suspension-hanging", or "full-drop full-suspension-hanging"), if it's executed incorrectly.With partial, there is a lot that can go wrong (...)
Yes - this is true specifically about partial hanging.Read the mega thread here. It's not as easy as people think it is.
Yes, there actually is (at least relatively speaking). Read my 2 posts above in this thread, to learn about it.Welcome to the unfair biology of human beings. No easy or painless method that's accessible.
