Before hanging

[Thin Chew]

One thing I'm still curious. Actially, should we breath in before we kick the stool below us when we do hanging or breath out first

 

[Kikoo Loool]

I'd say: breath out, in order to pass out more quickly. It may just be a matter of seconds thougv.

It probably does not matter. Good rope, knots and securely tied to something strong gets the job done.

I think it doesn't matter too. Just take care the rope is enough strong and knot greased. Blackout will happen in 10-15 seconds

Read somewhere that it's best to take a deep breath before doing it.

Deep breath or hyperventilating?

 

[Hotsackage]

You're looking to cut off.bloodflow, not oxygen

Deep breath or hyperventilating?

Hyperventilating seems to work. There are many people who have played the chocking game and died, which requires the person to hyperventilate before chocking themselves until they lose consciousness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choking_game

Probably a nice way to go!

Hyperventilation can result in dizziness but principal mechanism is cut-off of blood flow

Hyperventilation can be helpful.

Cut-off is pricipal mechanism, right.

Breathing and swallowing can be uncomfortable when the rope is tight, I breath in when practicing and it seems to work well as it is easier to not breath for the 10-15 seconds needed.
