i finally watched those hanging videos and i'm terrified now, that looks absolutely HORRIBLE!

[SufferingInDenmark]

i had kinda started liking the idea of hanging as my method,
until i saw what it looks like.
there's a bunch of videos listed in here.

i don't think i can do that, it literally looks like something out of a horror movie.

and i don't want to traumatize whoever finds me.

i could put a bag over my head, but idk man...

if i was in america it would be soooooooo easy, just one push on the trigger, and my pain would be gone.

not trying to stop anyone if they prefer that method, it's just my own feelings about that method now.

and besides, i still don't understand the science behind it well enough.
the videos i saw, where some of them were successful, it didn't even looked like a noose around their neck.
it looked like a regular (whatever that type of knot is called).

because a noose has the function of tightening up around your neck, correct?
but in some of these cases in the videos, nothing tightens around their neck.
not even when they go down, when they kick the chair away.

some of them manage to get themselves out of, i guess because of SI.
and others successfully suicide.

but once you kick that chair away, i want to know what happens.
does it break their neck? (it didn't look like it)
or do they simply just wait to pass out, and then die by not being able to breathe?

i feel like this is a whole fucking science project lol...

------------

it's just interesting that some of the suicides seemed to be successful, even tho they didn't even use a proper noose.

I don't think those movies or whatever you call them are real. I looked at them too and hanging doesn't happen like that. It's so fake. Just FYI. Hanging is not my method and the dead body always looks like a ghost but that's how every dead body. No dead body is attractive and sure, death or dying is horror. Normally when the person is serious about leaving this world, they don't care about all of that. My main focus is not leaving pain behind for my parents to deal with.

 

[deadbidaylight]

I've also watched a few hanging videos on a different site and they're burned into the back of my eyelids. I wish I never watched them. I'll never watch them again. I still choose full suspension if/when my time comes. Even knowing how it happens doesn't deter me. If it's any consolation at all, the seizing and thrashing is all happening while you're unconscious. It's how your body reacts to dying and being deprived of oxygenated blood to your brain. You're typically unconscious in anywhere from 4-30 seconds. So none of that will be happening with you knowing about it.

Also I should add, no death is not terrifying. They are all awful. Even the most peaceful methods are still horrible to watch. Some people are immune to watching it, but I am not one of those people. It was a big mistake on my part.

I forgot to add, your neck will only break if you drop from a height. Kicking out a chair or stepping off will not break your neck. If done properly, the ligature should compress your carotid arteries which is what renders you unconscious fast.

i think those videos are real tho. from the watch people die website, right?
yeah true, all deaths look terrible.
some look worse than others, but yeah.

yeah i wish i didn't see it also. did you see the married couple who did it together?
scary shit...

if ever i were to hang myself, i would def. put a bag over my head, for the sake of whoever finds me.

Yes I did see that one. There were a few that I watched that I was like for a really long time afterwards. I can still play them back in my mind and I watched them at least a month ago. That's why I'll never go back to that page.

It's nice of you to think of who will find you. A bag over your head is a considerate idea. I've honestly thought about leaving a note on my front door saying not to come in and to call the police immediately. I don't want to traumatize anyone either. I couldn't imagine finding a loved one dead by suicide. I wouldn't want the same for them. Loss is hard enough already.

exactly. i have no plans of comitting suicide any time soon... (i think i need at least 6 more months)
but the other day, i wrote "suicide" on a post it note.
and also a post it note that said "call my mom".
because i intend to do it in a hotel room most likely.

idk why i wrote those notes, when it's not gonna happen soon...
but it's like practice or whatever... no that sounds stupid lol

And you don't think a hole in your head, maybe with blood and brain matter all over the place, doesn't have the potential to traumatize whoever finds you? Death in ANY manner, even natural, is not "clean" business.

some methods do look worse than others, for sure.
the most natural/peaceful looking one is probably carbon monoxide

 

[genie]

Hanging that breaks your neck is long drop hanging and should not be attempted under any circumstances. That's the method professional hangmen used to hang criminals and even they messed it up occasionally. You need meticulous calculations: rope length, ligature height, weight etc..Even then it is too risky and you do not want to end up breaking your neck but still being conscious and paralysed. Short drop/partial suspension is the better method. It's compression of your carotid artery which should make you unconscious and if not discovered you will successfully CTB.

I think I understand what's being said here. A bullet to the head is more gruesome, but I think finding someone hanging is more haunting. I personally think I'd be more traumatized looking into the lifeless, pale face of someone I love than someone with no head and face anymore. Maybe I'm fucked up. Lol

You say hanging is like something from a horror movie, then you say a gunshot would be easier. But a gunshot would be just as horrendous for the person who finds you, if not more. :)

The science behind hanging is that the arteries in your neck are blocked, and you lose consciousness in about 10 second max, and don't feel a thing afterwards. All the rest are just involuntary muscle movements, but you are completely unconscious at that time already. All this is assuming it's done right.

The thing you mention, where it's not even a proper noose etc., those were probably not the correct way of doing it, and that's why they tried to get out of it. (Even if it's done incorrectly, or without proper planning, it still sometimes works surprisingly well. But still, I wouldn't recommend.) If it's done correctly, you don't have the chance, because you're unconscious already. Arms or legs rising at that point are involuntary muscle contractions, probably caused by the autonomous nervous system, or I don't know. I'm not that deep into the anatomy part of it.

If done right, they don't break their neck, nor do they suffocate. The air flow is restricted, but the lack of oxygen in the brain is not caused by suffocation. It's cause by the lack of blood flow, and it happens much faster! I.e. a person can hold their breath for 30-60 seconds, or even more, but if the blood flow stops, it takes 5-10 seconds, and you pass out immediately.

"It feels like a science project"... I agree that understanding hanging, and constructing a good setup does require a bit of an engineering mind. (not sure what the right expression is) You need a basic level of understanding how contraptions work. In this sense, using SN, for example, is simpler. Or at least it's more like chemistry than mechanics. You just measure the right amounts, and drink it. With hanging, there are more "moving parts", so to speak.

But on the other hand, if someone understands how it works, and perhaps does some experiments or tests on him/herself too, in a safe way, hanging is a fast, relatively painless, and very, very effective method. And it has its advantages too. For example, any accessories for doing it are highly accessible and easy to acquire, or after 'stepping off', there is no chance for backing out. The latter one is a good thing for those who are afraid of a failed attempt.

 

[KillingPain267]

I don't know, some of the gun suicide videos look horrible too, especially when it's a temple shot. But yeah the hangings are horrible, especially the twisting and thrashing of limbs, but it turns out it's not something they feel. If done right, they pass out from blood flow getting restricted to the brain, and that apparently after just some seconds. The horrible breathing some do is a death rattle, again, sounds horrible but is an unconscious response. So basically, it looks worse than it would feel. Oh and only long drop hangings break the neck if done from correct calculations of weight and height, which is not a common method in suicides.

 

[Halfhourdays]

Where are these videos?

@SufferingInDenmark did watching the videos make you decide not to go with hanging as a method?

 

[AreWeWinning]

Btw, for those who are horrified by watching hanging videos (or any videos related to their chosen method), it still can be useful. For those who are really determined, it can be a way to desensitise ourselves and fight SI. I was horrified by them at first too, but then I kept watching them until I got used to them for this specific reason. A f@ck#d up thing to do, I know, but hey, if it helps...

 

[cooked825]

I too would like to find the link to these videos

 

[SufferingInDenmark]

they're linked in the hanging guide... or megathread or whatever its called

Are you ready now? I see the logic

 

[Nobody'sHero]

Pretty sure ANY method will be terrifying if you really think about it. It's so terrifying because we all want to be alive due to instinct, getting over that instinct is a weird place to be...

I don't want to watch the videos. Is it eyes?

 

[SufferingInDenmark]

eyes?

 

[FuneralCry]

I understand, I personally want a death as peaceful and painless as possible and I see it as so cruel how the option for me to just simply cease existing in peace with no more suffering is denied, that method sounds terrifying to me. I'd fear it going wrong and leading to way worse suffering, it's just horrific to me how such can happen, I personally just want to cease existing in a painless way, I just want to never suffer ever again.

 

[AreWeWinning]

Are you ready now? I see the logic

I would like to believe I am. But still wasting time here instead of proceeding with my plan... :/ But I'll stop soon, lol. I hope.

 

[wham311]

eyes?

I don't want to watch, why are bags a good idea

 

[SufferingInDenmark]

I don't want to watch, why are bags a good idea

because of the soul-less facial expression, it looks really really scary, like a demon.
and i also heard (could be fake) that some people's eyes pop out of their skull when hanging

 

[29Forever]

Being out cold in 10-15 seconds is quite the opposite of traumatic for me. That sounds like a breeze

 

[JesiBel]

Maybe you're a somewhat sensitive person. Those videos give me peace. They wanted to leave this world, and they did it so quickly and easily. They motivate me because it's the method I chose. It became fascinating in some way.. they seemed like puppets dancing on a rope.. like me one day.

Death and all its stages will always be horrible, especially when the body begins to swell and decompose.
