Has anyone failed at full suspension hanging?

[John Smith]

I'm a little on the heavy side and am worried that my neck fat will prevent me from succeeding. I really can't afford to fail.

Full suspension shouldn't fail unless the rope or point it's tied to breaks, or by being discovered.

This source: http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods states that there are failed hangings, but it doesn't specify full or partial hangings.

lostallhope seems to be anti-suicide and gives very scary statistics. There is no helium among the methods for example. Read with caution.

I had a friend who failed, in that he was found, now hes is in a vegitive state due to lack of oxygen to the brain

This. Just don't leave anything to chance

 

[GeorgeEastman]

They probably have, but eventually it's going to be worth the risk anyway.

Ok. Rethinking now....

I fail with full suspension. My mistakes, I did not know anything about the method, use a shoelace attached to a roof beam. I lost consciousness in about 10 seconds, when I woke up I was on the floor with my parents trying to revive me.

@Ali: Did the shoelace torn down?

That is absolutely horrible. I hope that never happens to any of us on here.

Oh my god... if you guys have legally valid wills, make sure to include a statement allowing and requesting to be taken off of life support if you're so unfortunate to be in a coma or vegetative state, some states actually allow it if it's in your (legally valid) will!

@Ali: Did the shoelace torn down?

Yes, after losing consciousness I fell to the floor because it was cut, it was not thick enough to keep me in the air for longer.

The nursing home where my wife's dad was in there was a younger guy mid twenties who hung himself and his parents found him and hes in a wheelchair, his eyes are bloodshot and his forehead is tilted up and his body was crunched up in his wheel chair no movement. That's what it looks like when you fail. No controlled movement.

does science know if someone in vegetative state suffers mentally,has conciousness? askin in general...

 

[Ali]

With a shoe laces?

Yes, of bototos. I did not know about the method so it was an impulse and I took what I had.

Get an advanced directive and dnr with a living will. It's cheap and worth it

Have you considered fighting for your friend to get put out of his misery? Or just putting a pillow over his face and ending his hell? He's essentially trapped in hell forever unless someone does something.

That's just terrifying. I'm already afraid I will end up in such a state with my parents parading me around, left with even worse humiliation and 0 control for the rest of my days. I would have no say.

As long as your rope holds and what you tie it to doesn't break I believe within 30 minutes it's done. The knots are important.
