Last week, I have been practicing different ways of doing partial hanging and will share which method has worked the best out of all.
In order to succeed partial hanging, is to fully block the carotid arteries on both sides of your neck, around 80-90% of the blood flow in the blood vessels has to be blocked for this to be guaranteed and quick. Will also share how to overwin your survival instinct.
What's needed for this:
- A rope
A nylon type of rope is recommended but it could be any rope that isn't stretchy and needs to be at least 1cm (0,4 inch) thick if you weigh more than 50kg (110 lbs)
- 2 regular socks
A pair of regular socks (not the extra thicker ones for winter)
- A strong anchor point.
A reliable anchor point, could be anything that will hold your body for at least 30 minutes (wouldn't recommend a doorknob..)
The process:
1. Make a slip knot, there are plenty of YouTube tutorials if you don't know how to do it. Also, hangman's knot will not work for this.
2. Prepare the socks (the socks are gonna be needed to put them against your carotid arteries to achieve the needed pressure because the rope alone can't easily reach there), you will need to fold them both like in this picture:

3. Once the rope and socks have been prepared, this is how they have to be put around your neck:

4. Find an anchor point and position yourself like in picture below:

5. To overwin survival instinct, you need to make sure that your body is not going to be able to save you using its strength. To achieve this, you will need to tie your hands behind your back. For those who consume alcohol, getting drunk helps too.
6. Finally. Kneel yourself down and make sure that both of your knees point to the ground but not touch it.
After doing the last step, you will start to feel like your face is filling up with blood (this is normal, it's the same as if another person chokes you). You are still able to breath normally. It will take between 15-30 seconds to pass out and lose consciousness, depending on how much you weigh.
When I was practicing it, I didn't attach the other end of the rope to the anchor point but instead, I threw the rope over it and was holding the end with my hand, so that when I pass out, my hand go off the rope and lets me fall. This can be done if you just want to practice partial hanging. But be careful.
