Why partial hanging is much commom than full hanging?

I'm not very good at articulating in English so I don't know if you can understand what I'm trying to ask but When you "jumped" was the noose the same height as your neck or did you have few centimetres of drop that made the rope constrict faster? I'm thinking about using a higher chair for a small drop. But it seems more painful.

It was from a ceiling fan and I jumped from a bed with lots of pillows and blanked stacked beneath, the noose was tied so that it was as close as possible to the fan before I had put my head in it, with just enough space (in the noose) for me to put my head in. I guess you should try to have the noose be as high as possible, I feel like it'd be more likely for the noose to be too close to the ground than the reverse. I'm not an expert in physics but I don't think a higher jump would be painful (from more force on the noose) at least not at the distances we're talking about?

this happens when you constrict the jugular instead of the carotid

Would the way to solve this be by getting a thicker rope, or how?

Anchor points like others said. Movies always have these high spots that are used but don't make sense. One movie the guy used a ceiling light fixture. Not sure about UK homes but that would pull out pretty easily from what I've seen.

can you elaborate on this? sounds terrifiying to get eye damage

i wish i understood the science of partial hanging. i've tried it soooo many times and failed.. only once did i "succeed" (i felt myself painlessly losing consciousness and volontarily stopped it). it's so hard to adequately put pressure on the carotid arteries

what did you do different? any differences in your attemps? the successful one versus the failed ones?

I can't seem to get it right either so don't feel bad.

how are you now?
can you tell me the details of how you tried it and failed?
i hope you are still here and doing better

Sharing an interesting study done on hanging fatalities. It was studied on a total of 244 hanging cases over a 13 year period based in Bangkok, Thailand.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1179555717692545

Partial was seen in 204 cases (83.6%) and full suspension was 40 cases (16.4%). I believe this stat will not be dissimilar to hanging cases in other countries. Partial is in fact very common nowadays.

Ps: The study includes many other details about hanging that you guys may be keen to look into if this is your preferred method.

very interesting! and we are sure this is a legit study?
dot gov sites, can they only be owned by governments?
or can anyone make a dot gov site?

oh wait, your link wasn't a dot gov site.
but what i did was that i googled what you talked about and then it took me to the official study, which was on a dot gov site.
i just made a new post about it

Partial hanging isn't much more common than full hanging. I know since childhood what the word hanging means and how executions by hanging look like. Partial hanging is just a botched hanging not worth to waste a word on it.
