Partial hanging question

[Pookie]

I tried partial hanging the other day and my vision faded almost instantly but I could feel my legs tingling. Are tingly legs normal while hanging? Anyone else experienced this?

I wouldn't worry about tingling legs, that may be normal. Be careful with trying it out, as you can easily pass away within a few seconds and get brain damage if you fail.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm wondering if the tingling is a lack of blood flow.

where did you place the rope?

I'm thinking it would be as well.

It sounds like you were close. If vision goes you were constricting blood flow. Just make sure you will be alone for 30 minutes.

where did you place the rope?

I placed the rope about midway on my neck but more towards the collar bone. In this area I don't feel the exploding head feeling and can still breathe. I stood on a bucket and quickly stepped off and loss of vision was almost instant. Then I felt the tingly legs and my toes were touching the ground but when I stood flat I came to.

Sounds like it will work. When you try for real, tie your ankles to make it harder to stand up.

That's a good idea, thanks.
