Help Thoughts on long drop

[Johnzaga23]

What are your thoughts on long drop? Why do like it or not like it? What places do you think would be best for a long drop? Like a bridge, a tree, a balcony etc.
Also I have a question. Can you be rescued from a long drop? like if you do the drop and someone releashes you shortly after, is it possible that they will revive you and be paralized or a vegetable after?
Cause in judicial hangings, they leave the body some minutes hanging, before releasing them.

Why do like it or not like it?

I don't like it because:
-afraid of heights
-don't have access to places high enough for decent success rate.
-feel sorry for any poor soul that will encounter the splat and another one who will have to scrape me from the pavement or fish the pieces out of water.

If you're referring to hanging with a long length of rope I believe you'd require to be thorough in working out the dynamics of weight of body and length of drop.
Insufficient length and you could well fracture or displace cervical vertebrae causing paralysis I'd suspect. Too long and decapitation is possible, though if you're seeking to ctb that shouldn't concern too much, unless you're worried about the trauma for those clearing up your mess.

I think the thread poster means hanging, not jumping

yeah i was talking about hanging but thank you for the resource. Do you have any other resource that its popular and i might not know about?

from what I know, there are tables that show the proper length according to your weight. It seems that 3 meters is more that enough. So if you dont care about decapitation, anything over 3 meters is enough.

i can think of some places over the top of my head like a balcony for example, but those places are public and you will be releashed shortly after and i dont know if you can be revived after a long drop. Unless if you get decapitated then youre gone for good

Well i think it one of the most difficult methods to pull because you have to measure a lot of things, this carried in countries where death sentence is hanging, sure it would be over so quick but it does have a high risk, if you survive you be a quadriplegic, the 17 yr old son of my friend dad attempted this method from a tree and ended a quad c1-c2 i believe with a ventilator

Long drop is a wonderful idea.
It is also completely impractical.

By the time you work out the details, you could have gotten on that bus with full.
Full is much easier to setup.

Do you believe you will be more likely to step off with long drop than full?

I dont see how its difficult to pull. All you need is a 3 meters drop with a 25mm thick hemp rope, knot under the chin, and a strong anchor point. Even if it fails to break your neck, you will die from strangulation.

I was hoping that with long drop, besides the painlessness of the method, i would die instantly so no one can resque me. So I would be able to pull it out in more public places like a bridge or a balcony, without worrying that ill be resqued. Because its hard to find an isolated place to hang. But from what i see, there is no instant death but rather instant unconciousness and you can be resqued.
