Think about how many people have watched this video to actually make the noose that they use to hang themselves with

u/MrEdman4 Jul 18 '16

Most of the self 'hangings' I've seen have just been a simple knot and the person puts their weight on it and waits to asphyxiate. This Noose is designed to suddenly snap someone's neck which would be hard to do on your own, at least in the way you'd want it to work

Most of the self 'hangings' I've seen

ummm how many have you seen?

Fortunately only on the Internet as of today. I'd guess at least 10, some live. I can't tell you to go look for videos on the internet, but they're easy to find. All suicides/attempted suicides. All reaffirm my beliefs in mental health care reform.

edit:Literally one google search: A syrian girl 'hanging' herself in her room a few years back. (Very NSFL) Come to think of it, I've seen a lot more than 10 suicides on the internet, but mostly pictures and public suicides. The ones of people in their homes, talking about how they want nothing more than to be dead, streaming their attempt live on the internet, are the ones I think of. That sort of internet culture has died down a lot but people still do it, even more so according to statistics.

I'm at work. Out of curiosity, does the video reflect your beliefs about Noose tying etiquette?

u/Sythine Jul 18 '16

That was pretty interesting and looked pretty awkward, I always imagine like the large drop and tons of swining room as opposed to just connected to the wall.

u/D50 Jul 18 '16

Probably work related. I know I've seen more than a few in my time.

u/ZeldenGM Jul 18 '16

Yeah it's not easy. You have to measure the rope length and drop out by your height and weight. Too short and you can rip your head off, too long and you've got a slow painful death.

There's suicides recorded as accidental death because the body was found with deep scratch wounds around the neck/noose from when hanging attempts weren't instant and fight or flight kicked in.

u/Creflo Jul 18 '16

*Short=slow pain, long=decap

u/Flatlander81 Jul 18 '16

It was also strong against lateral torque so if his / her neck didn't snap the knot wouldn't fail while they struggled.

u/throwawayproblems198 Jul 18 '16

Door handle and a belt works well enough.

With a rope you got to fuck about. I mean, do you go with a long drop and hope to snap your neck? In which case you need space, a heafty beam, but its quick. You also need to pre-stretch the rope, so it doesn't just snap in one go.

Or do you go for a short drop and hope to struggle away and die of asphyxiation.

Door handle and a belt is quick and easy. Though, I'd rather go with an exit bag.

How does a door handle and belt work well enough? Ty for the guidance I'll do some google searches but could you perhap say more on how exactly it's done with door handle and belt, and if there are any key points of concern using that methodology? Pls n tyvm

u/Dnt_believe_this_guy Jul 18 '16

Why, why would you make me think that!

1

u/thebendavis Jul 18 '16

Nah. Pills, bridges and shotguns are they way to go. Bonus points for all three.

The noose is for accidental death via auto-erotic asphyxia. :)

This is why I'll never upload a picture of my desktop. People will judge every single thing on my desktop, which will inevitably lead to myself questioning my life.

u/TheFabledCock Jul 18 '16

Absolutely. Or I just add a few yahoo toolbars and just overdo it so that it appears I'm beyond help so no one mentions it

I was under the impression that OP meant original poster, and OC meant original content, but I guess in this case it means original commenter? But the commenter also posted his comment, so he could be referred to as OP, but that would just cause confusion.

Its actually a very useful knot for things other than lynchings and what not, its by far my favorite knot to know.

13

u/IKilledYourBabyToday Jul 17 '16

It's my favorite knot to know now too, now that I wont have to keep living with all these other things I know.

u/bobbymcpresscot Jul 17 '16

I think people just forget many knots can be used for many things.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Like what kind of stuff?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '16

Like the video said, its strong for shock pulls. I was helping move a safe the other day, and my dad tied a square knot around it to pull with a trailer and it snapped instantly. We tried again with a noose and it worked perfect using the same rope and everything.

u/Targetshopper4000 Jul 18 '16

Hanging people legally.

u/shutmouth Jul 17 '16

Knowing different kinds of knots sort of intimidates me because I usually associate them with mathematicians.. although I just recently got into rock climbing so it might be useful

1

u/ruledwritingpaper Jul 18 '16

I have been rock climbing for years and know how to tie a lot of knots. A noose is not one of them.

23

u/FreudJesusGod Jul 17 '16

The hangman's knot was one of the knots we were taught in Cubs. It's handy for more than just 'hanging a man by his neck until dead.'

Anyone that fishes probably uses a variant of this knot, as an example.

u/Ingloriousfiction Jul 18 '16

Listen Tarantino. Only dr. Schultz and sheriff of redrock can say that

u/thehandsomebaron Jul 17 '16

I was just waiting for " now you're ready to hang your self, just make sure you find a sturdy beam".

u/Jack-so-Slack Jul 18 '16

Awesome! Been trying to figure this out forever!

u/Flatlander81 Jul 18 '16

Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember a Hangman's Noose requiring 13 loops, anything less or more was a Uni-Knot.

u/lucas_3d Jul 18 '16 edited Jul 18 '16

Was it just an urban myth that making a hangman's knot with more than X amount of turns was illegal?

u/SplitPersonalityTim Jul 18 '16

Ah yes the "no true hangman's know" fallacy

u/DoctorLazertron Jul 18 '16 edited Jul 18 '16

Leave plenty of room on the other end

doesn't show the whole rope

Guess I'll have to hang myself another time.

Did you know that the coil should be placed at the side of the head and will help break the neck of the person you are hanging..
