Method How high is considered a "long drop"?

[Topaz111]

I am considering an anchor point, but I worry it might be too high and I will have a high chance of breaking my neck instead of dying through oxygen deprivation. I am aware this is a risk with any hanging, but it's more likely as higher hights.

I don't get this here. The goal of long-drop hanging is breaking the neck to be almost instantly dead rather than asphyxiation.

The point is, I don't want this to be a long drop. The idea of trying to break my neck to die is far scarier and probably riskier than trying to asphyxiate myself, probably because I have already tried the latter twice and I know how it feels.

Could you use a longer rope so you are hanging lower from your anchor point and therefore have a smaller fall? I do not have anything to back this up, but I fear anything longer than a few inch drop will leave you with the chance of becoming paralyzed which would be a massive problem if you survive.
