Method Any successful attempts by SWB (Shallow Water Blackout)

[csdfghjjk_user]

I read the mega tread (https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/shallow-water-blackout.4315/) but it is closed for any replies/questions and I have not seen anyone "successfully" attempting it. Any experience on this method? It seems too good to be true and could be ruled as an accident.

And as I understand, hyperventilating is necessary for blackout and painless drowning. If you gain unconsciousness otherwise and drown, would that also be painless? It seems it makes most sense in a large body of water, eg a lake. And at a time and place where no one can come for rescue. I wouldn't want to attach weights to myself but also don't understand how I'd stay underwater otherwise(?).

I am happy to be pointed to some more sources, thank you

I dunno about successful attempts but I tried testing out blacking out by hyperventilating for like 5-10 minutes straight for a full hour and each time I could just not get it right for some reason, got dizzy but never blacked out. It's a method I really want to do though cause you only need water and that's it :/

I think it only works if you're too exhausted to wake back up or to move if you do, but then it wouldn't exactly be painless drowning if you're awake to feel it.

Yes, exactly! If I wake up I'd prob just resurface.

I have not tried hyperventilating yet, but obv it's the first step to get it right. It feels a little like there are too many variables. I have never blacked out, not even with alcohol.

Producing the blackout by hyperventilation is not how the SWB method is supposed to work. In the ideal scenario, the blackout occurs when you hold your breath long enough to induce hypoxia sufficient for fainting, without feeling strong urge to breathe. Hyperventilation helps you to hold your breath without the urge to breathe longer than usually, but the extended time of comfortable breath holding often remains insufficient for achieving loss of consciousness nevertheless.

So that's why this method doesn't work? Bc you could make yourself pass out from hyperventilating but it's not the same as passing out from holding your breath and have a peaceful death?

I explained how it works in this recent discussion about SWB

Is shallow water blackout really possible in a bathtub?

This is my most preferred suicide method but I’m unsure if I need a huge body of water, or if I can do it at home.

This seems v hard indeed
