Partial hanging - main mistakes/pitfalls to avoid?

[merc5361]

I've got my setup all ready. I've got a noose knot setup, and the other end firmly attached to a coat hanger. The overall vertical distance from the coat hanger to the ground is around my height, so i would have my feet touching the ground so full suspension hanging is unfortunately off the table for now.

I do understand some general advice I need to keep in mind are as follows:

1) Ensure that the knot is behind my neck
2) Try to place the rope as high up so as to constrict my carotid artery (this is the tough part)


Anything else I need to keep in mind? I will be using an 8mm nylon rope to help me CTB.

Thanks so much!

Im sorry but i don't have anything in mind to add up. However, threads like your gives me hope that partial hanging which is my only viable method, could work for me too.. please keep us updated about your setup! I would like to follow yours if it works as well. Ty

I would make sure to double and triple check that the rope / anchor you are using can support your weight. I passed out in the noose and woke up on the floor. You could easily survive and become a vegetable if it breaks after a couple minutes.

What were the exact dimension other than 8mm? Will slipknot be more or less effective and quick?

I'm using a nooseknot. My setup is basically as described above. I may try it out next week or this weekend. You can send me a dm.

If I don't respond, well...... you have your answer. If I do respond, well.....you'll have your answer either way (or maybe not if I chicken out).

What was your 'setup' like and what happened? Did you somehow slip out whilst unconscious or did something break?

For OP, I could be wrong but I recall reading somewhere those knots are meant for full suspension, not partial...

I used a slipknot in a necktie as suggested by the partial guide pinned to the site. I didn't thoroughly stress test it and after passing out, it ripped completely through leaving me with a rope around my neck on the ground.

Well I'm doing full suspension but practised with partial suspension. The main things you want to do in both is have the rope above the hyoid bone, knot behind neck, and hyperventilate first before getting of the stool (all at once and not to fast as that's painful).

I did this and forced my body down and I successfully staring losing vision. The other thing is you can also compress your vagus nerve also which is what I did cause my neck is skinny. I began to pass out then got a buzz/warmth feeling throught my body. It wasn't pain ful at all. I didn't go through with it and have the forcefully stand up to back out (which is the only time I felt physical pain).

So for full suspension, I know the feeling I'm supposed to feel when it's working. I just have to work on SI for which I think I found the answer today.

Interesting. And what's your plan to overcome SI?

Also, it may sound weird, but has someone considered partial suspension while sitting on a chair? I'm pretty sure that with just the right length of rope and a pillow, I could technically pass out this way, and it seems easier in my setup. But it's hard to ensure that the spasms wouldn't get me in a position where the rope is no longer effective, so there is a real risk and I'm not sure it's a good idea.
