FSH Setup?

[Catchthebusnow]

Hi SaSu! Something I'm kind of confused about - it seems to me like, isn't doing FSH over a door a perfectly great setup even if the door is open? At first my main roadblock was that I couldn't see how you could close and lock the door with any kind of standard rope. But, as long as you have the noose and something like a dumbbell on the same side of the door like in this picture then you can have the door open, no problem, right? Because I can't imagine that even in the wildest involuntary convulsions/movements/thrashing I can't imagine the rope moving sideways all the way off - and wouldn't that be the only failure point? I'm wondering if I'm missing something - I can't obtain my rope for a little bit longer, but has anyone tested this setup / does anyone have any thoughts? I'm worried I'm missing something because otherwise wouldn't we not see posts from people desperately trying to find an anchor for FSH … but I also can't see how this could go wrong. I'm trying to imagine a body doing the wildest involuntary movements and I can't picture the rope moving sideways - wouldn't it just stay in place? Because there's so much downward force from the hanging body pinning it in place? I just cannot picture the rope moving sideways … any thoughts would be much appreciated !

If you're saying to leave the door open/cracked. That's an unstable object even the slightest movement of the door going back and forth on the hinges could theoretically loosen the rope.

Hmm. But isn't the rope pinned down by the sheer weight of the body hanging from it? So the door could go back and forth but wouldn't the rope stay in place?
I believe @AreWeWinning had said in a previous thread that if the dumbbell or object is at the bottom it would work with the door open?

Could it work, yes. I'm of the idea that anything extra is another risk for failure. Extra in this case is the door being opened instead of secure.

Makes sense! Can't close the door with any standard rope, so was trying to evaluate whether open—with the dumbbell/object on the same side at the bottom—would actually be pretty solid.

is that picture how it's usually done?

What if SI kicks in and your feet attempt to catch a hold of the door knob, making the struggle prolonged and possibly very painful.

It seems like you can either do it with the dumbbell on the same side as the noose, like in that image, or with the dumbbell pulled up at the top on the other side of the door, like was suggested here:

Guide on how to create an anchor point for full suspension hanging using only a dumbbell

Do you want to hang yourself using full suspension in the comfort of your home or in a hotel, but have no anchor points? Well, here's the solution for you. It's very simple yet effective, requiring only a dumbbell. For this setup you'll be using a rope, and slip one end over a door, tying it to...

Actually I think when I do it my feet will be below the doorknob that's a good point though, so many things to consider for CTB!

Didnt mean to click reply my bad. I did a similar method to door one where i had the rope over my door and tied to my wardrobe bar, i gave up with this method as even though there was about 20cm between me and the floor it was always too little so unless youre tiny or have a massive door i just wouldnt attempt i tested this setup so many times and only got it to work once and still failed i give up im getting a tree. For the door being open i honestly dont think this would be an issue in my first setups i tied two doors together but in the one where i got it to work i didnt even bother tying the doors and it took a lot of effort to get myself down (long story) so i think youre good on that part but if you can hang from a banister or a tree go with that to be honest

Actually I think there's a decent amount between me and the ground - I'm pretty short luckily. I would much prefer a tree but it feels too risky to sneak out of my house in the middle of the night, somehow get transportation to a nature-y area, find the right tree in the middle of the night, tie the thing, wondering if I'm gonna get suspected for trespassing … I hate that there often isn't just straightforward options. I wish I lived alone and had a sturdy exposed ceiling rafter or something, that'd be awesome. Good to know about the door! I think I might be able to close the door with these special "hollow braid" ropes, I'm waiting for them to arrive (it all has to be very surreptitious because don't live alone) and then I'm gonna go for it.
