How dangerous is PSH/FSH practice?

[prompt_critical]

I know a lot of people like the idea of just going for it and not messing around beforehand, but I think for many of us practicing, getting comfortable with the rope, finding the most painless spots, is important.

I read somewhere that every time you cut off your carotids you risk stroke due to clotting and tears, yet loads of people seem to do it over and over until they are prepared to CTB.

How much damage are are you doing really?

IME, way too safe

Well, it's dangerous, because if you don't make any mechanism or procedure to release yourself after passing away and you hit the sweet spot, you certainly die (Regarding partial hanging).
Practicing full suspension hanging is riskier, since you can lose consciousness in seconds and can't return to the stool, for example. So "practicing" is only suitable if you are really willing to die.

How dangerous is PSH/FSH practice?

Same as with any other method designed to kill a person. You risk that you succeed.
