Has anyone been unable to become unconscious by hanging?

[John Smith]

I just read on lostalhope.com that it can take 1 to 3 minutes for unconsciousness to set in for full suspension. Is this true? What about for partial suspension?

 

[Xerxes]

All depends on placement.

 

[Chinaski]

I managed it in about seven seconds once, with an upright partial. This has never happened since, but it's certainly possible .

 

[Trashcan]

It can be. I tried full suspension and didn't compress my carotid arteries despite using a 11mm thick static non-stretch rope, a slip knot, and trying different knot places. Maybe it's an anatomy thing. Some people easily compress their carotid arteries with partial suspension.

How did you get out of it with full? Seems impossible too me unless you was saved .

 

[Hanging on]

Partial is very hard tried 7 times, didn't work or hurt. But got fed up with waiting to pass out. My cousin did it first attempt. Different for everyone I suppose

 

[I’vehadenough]

I stop before I get to the level of unconsciousness. Once I feel faint and dizzy, I get scared and release the noose. Plus my trachea always hurts

It was a pull up bar on the door. So yeah I just grabbed that. I didn't have anywhere else I could do it. I have since ordered items for the exit bag.

If you have not watched this video, check out the 2nd hanging where the narrator said the women just wanted to test but then accidentally did kill herself. She made it look too easy. She was unconscious within seconds

Jealous wish I had that would be free now!

will be trying full at my next attempt just need a great tree now! Good luck in whatever you try

Thank you and good luck to you too!

wait, so you actually were hanging completely off the ground and couldn't get yourself to pass out? how much do you weigh and do you have high blood pressure?

 

[ChickenAndPotatoes]

I haven't managed to pass out yet. I'm fat but have a strong muscular neck. I've tried squeezing my neck with my hands, which didn't work. I did a full suspension with a standard knot (regular knot) and just ended up hanging there for 10 minutes before some guys cut me down. If I had done a slipknot, I probably wouldn't be here. I also sat on my bed and put a slipknotted rope around my neck and pulled the rope hard, but that didn't work either.

How much do you weigh?

 

[ChickenAndPotatoes]

How much do you weigh?

Around 185-190ish

 

[John Smith]

Around 185-190ish

I weigh 240. I tried strangling myself with my hands as well and it didn't do anything for me. That's really disappointing to hear that you failed
I'm really afraid of failing and then people finding out because of the ligature mark or what not. What ligature did you use and did you have an obvious mark from it afterwards?

Yes, from the full suspension with a regular knot I had rope abrasion-a brown ring around my neck for at least 2 weeks (I have brown skin).I used the red rope they usually have in stock at Walmart.

 

[Trashcan]

I'd say I weigh an average amount and no, I don't have high blood pressure. I'm beginning to think it might be an anatomy thing.

Do you think if the rope would've had some padding of some type like, say, foam or cloth, that it would have prevented the ligature mark?

what kind of knot? was it at the back of the neck?

Yes, I think it would have prevented the abrasion if the rope was padded. And that's a great idea. Thanks for it.

Do you think if you would've had the extra weight that I have (50 more pounds) that it would have made you successful maybe?

I tied the knot wrong. I used a regular knot instead of a slipknot. That's why I was unsuccessful. But at the time I was only 119lbs in Jan 2017 when I hung myself. But extra weight definitely would have helped then. Now I weigh 185-190ish.

 

[Trashcan]

It was and I used a slip knot. Also used an 11mm, non-stretch static rope. I tried partial with the rope as well. One time I managed to almost pass out (but didn't compress the carotid arteries enough) but I haven't been able to imitate that since. So I'm just using the exit bag now.

 

[Retched]

I've just gotten floaty. :(

was that for full or partial? do you think you would've passed out if you kept on going?

What's the exit bag and is it hard to get?

Partial. And tbh, I tried again today and thought I would "drop down" on it harder and all I ended up with a glaring red mark on my neck, which has dissipated. And it hurt badly! From what I've seen/heard I'd have to go a lot farther than what I have managed to do to pass out...partial is really hard. I don't know if I would have gotten there or not. The floating sensation makes me back out of it. Partial is too easy to back out of. I don't understand how people "accidentally" kill themselves during auto-erotic and so forth.

I don't understand how people do it partial either. I would think only full gets the job done

Inert gas (argon or nitrogen), some people use a bag but I'll use a full face snorkel mask, and you need a regulator. There is a megathread about it and something in the peaceful pill handbook.
