Scary partial experiment

[I’vehadenough]

so I tried a partial hanging while not tying the noose to see if I could feel the lightheadedness. When I did, I released the noose and my body started convulsing. It scared me. Why did that happen?

It can happen by restricting and then releasing blood flow. What size rope you using

It's a physical response to restricted bloodflow to the brain, probably.

It shouldn't do anything so there is no reason to be scared.

8mm...why does that happen? If I went through with the hanging, would I feel the convulsions?

No

No

How do you know? Lol

because as soon as you're unconscious you don't feel anything. Blood floodflow is restricted to your brain first, then other parts of body. People asphyxiate for fun, they go unconscious then come back. Someone posted a video last night of a girl doing asphyaxtion for an experiment (it's in one of the hanging threads). She lost consciouness and the siezed but didn't feel anything.

video is in thread called 'placing the noose'

I've never convulsed except when drunk, in the bath and seeing if I could make myself pass out, which I did but woke up convulsing. It was weird.

I used to do this with a friend of mine when we were teens. We would take a towel and roll it up length wise. I'd stand behind him and he would take some deep breaths and hold it in. I'd place the towel around his neck and pull tightly. As soon as he would collapse, I would remove the towel.

Sometimes he would start convulsing, and other times he would wake up without convulsing. He never felt it when he did.

I never felt it when I started convulsing, and he said one time I was convulsing so bad he thought I was dying.

My guess is when you stop the blood flow to the brain, and then the flow starts going again, it causes your body to react by convulsing, or it's your body struggling to get air back into you. I don't know, I'm not a doctor!
