as the title says. hanging isnt my method but i was reading a thread that made me think about the time i almost died when i was little. which got me thinking about the way things were. would someone that knows this method explain to me what exactly happened this day because im not sure what caused me to pass out.
long story short dont play car on hay bales and DO NOT USE ROPE FOR A SEAT BELT!
now that we know how i got there.....the rope was across my neck. my feet could BARELY reach the ground. i might have successfully pushed myself up an inch my stretching my leg out only to fall back into place. my left arm was pinned over my head and my right arm was hanging down. basically the rope went under my arms and across my neck. i didnt feel any pain. aside from knowing the rope was there because it was touching me i didnt feel anything i just "went to sleep".
im wondering how this happened because ive read people saying they felt pressure in their head. they cant find the right spot. things like that im sure we've all read so i dont need anymore examples. i didnt feel anything and how did i pass out with my arms in the way and the rope only touching the front of my neck when people struggle with it completely around their neck and they physically feel things. did i get "lucky"? was it a fluke? did i just panic so much that my brain decided that was enough.
also even though i had passed out before i was rescued i heard the footsteps of the person in the snow but i didnt gain consciousness until they picked me up, removing the rope from my neck.
(for those of you interested i did get a hold of them a few years ago and said thank you. it amazingly didnt take much work to find them, of course they lived across from my grandfather and heard me screaming but all i had to remember her by was an orange snowsuit and that it was a women. oh well this is just a little bit of info thats not really necessary for the answer, it was just nice to finally say thank you for saving my life, it ate me apart inside for years)
oh i should probably go into more about the panicking. i dont remember hyperventilating or anything. just your typical omg thought and screaming for help. if i was hyperventilating then thats probably why i passed out but i dont think i was.
