Method Long drop hanging by jumping from a tree.

[weird_place777]

For a hanging to be successful, the neck and its arteries should be strangled as hard as possible. Partial hanging does this a little, and full suspension hanging does it more because the body's full weight tightens the noose. But what if someone tied their rope to a thick tree branch high in the air, and then leapt off? Wouldn't the aggressive downward jolt strangle the neck harder than partial or full suspension, making it a more effective hanging? Or is there a problem with this I'm not aware of?

You don't use a noose you use the hangman knot for long drop. The long drop is supposed to break your neck rather than compress the arteries.

You have to calculate the drop height. This depends on your weight. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Table_of_Drops )

And there's a guide about trees:

This thread is ONLY for those who 1) must do partial/full suspension hanging, and 2) can only resort to using a tree. I was a professional tree climber and trimmer for 5 years, i trimmed/felled trees away from powerlines all over Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Just thought id give my best insights...

Is there an important difference between both knots? I'm aware that long drops are typically used to break the neck but that seems to require precise calculations and appears inconsistent, so my original question was asking if a long drop would simply strangle the neck more effectively than normal hanging, as in having a higher chance of cutting off the deep internal arteries. I think it definitely should but I want others to point out any potential flaws with it that I'm not aware of.

It probably strangles the neck more but if it doesn't break your neck there's also no guarantee to pass out faster. It can lead to prolonged suffering if sth does not work as expected.

It could lead to prolonged suffering if something goes wrong, but I think the same could be said about regular hanging. Jumping from a tree and tightening the rope with a downward jolt might be messier and more chaotic but it would be far more aggressive and I would expect that to result in a more effective strangulation.
