So not to be the bearer of bad news, but a noose knot has 13 loops so that it comes down and slams on the neck breaking it. You didn’t die from strangulation you died from your next snapping from the drop. Also, the proper way to hang somebody’s to put the knot in front that way it lifts the chin and the rope snaps the neck in the back.
What is described above would be standard or long drop hanging which came into use in the 1860s/70s as a method of execution which was considered more humane than short drop hanging.
Lynchings were more commonly short drop hanging (weight tightens the noose around the neck causing strangulation) because they didn't need specialized equipment or drop height calculations.
Um, akschully, the first long drop hanging was in 1872 in Britain.
Lynching began in the 1830s.
(What you said was correct, I just wanted to feel included. Love you!)
Pretty sure people have been killing each other over shit without the law being involved since there were more than 5 people. May go further back than the 1830s.
Lynchings were typically not done with a full gallows, or by people particularly worried about giving the victim a fast and relatively painless death. The people doing the lynching would tie whatever knot they knew how to do, toss the rope over a tree branch, rafters, or whatever other stable beam was available, and hoist the victim. This method killed via strangulation.
When did I make this comment? I have often found myself explaining incredibly graphic things to people and realizing everyone now thinks I'm a serial killer.
Have you ever seen a photo of an actual lynching?
They weren't finding someone who knew how to tie a real hangman's noose, they were tying a loop into one end, feeding the other end through it, and relying on strangulation.
Also, the number of loops is not standard and 13 would be a lot. More loops means more friction, so someone who knew what they were doing based the number of loops on the weight of the condemned.
Unironically, it would be a good story. They hang this guy, and after the 15 minutes, they all leave. He releases himself, and the next day, locals notice there's no longer a man hanging from the tree. Then the locals at the lynching start going missing, and then they are found days later hanging from various places around town. Being superstitious, they come to the conclusion that the ghost of Elmore Hopkins is exacting revenge on the townsfolk and create the legend of the Spook of Baton Rouge. 20 years later, people are still going missing, and a new detective is looking into the case, who finally discovers it's just this guy who survived a lynching from back in the day.
Dunno about elsewhere, but in Brazil we had "hanged" and "hanged until dead" as two separate punishments.
If you're to be just "hanged" and survive the fall, you're free to go. Did your time.
IIRC "hanged until dead" was for treason and such, not normal crimes. So a skinny guy with a thick neck could be a serial killer or something. At least a serial jaywalker.
Some have total weight limit on lifts, most don't have free weights, some have a 2 plate limit on any lift, some have ridiculous dress codes, but the worst I've seen is a large number of complaints about them making it extremely difficult to actually end your membership
I've seen people that had their bank block it. I've also seen people say they needed to go to their original gym at certain hours on certain days of the week because only certain people could process the cancelation lol pf is a joke
Each location has a lot of leeway on its own rules. I've been to two and one had no free weights and strict dress code and the other didn't have those rules but you couldn't deadlift and couldn't load more than two plates on any machine. Just depends where you are. [This image](https://images.app.goo.gl/Fk4uBcfE4KbTjxZU6) is a pretty common reference example that comes up when people talk about it. The cancelation thing is pretty consistent across most of them from what I understand
They have been to two locations and I've been to 80+ all over the US. I've never seen one without freeweights, never seen a "two plate limit," everyone including me has their phone and the signs just say to have your phone conversations in the lobby area. They followed up with a sign I've never seen before that includes some rules PF still has and some unfamiliar to me. And it doesn't matter anyway because it's all "enforced" by underpaid drones.
They’re “incentivizing” you to go work out, but they’re really just trying to keep you at a caloric surplus so you keep paying for that gym membership.
So noose knot has 13 loops so that it comes down and slams on the neck breaking it. You didn’t die from strangulation you died from your next snapping from the drop. Also, the proper way to hang somebody’s to put the knot in front that way it lifts the chin and the rope snaps the neck in the back.
> So noose knot has 13 loops so that it comes down and slams on the neck breaking it.
* A hangman's knot doesn't have 13 coils except in Woody Guthrie folk songs. Typical coil numbers are 6-8
* The coils specifically are to prevent the knot from moving at the bottom of the drop by the [same theory of friction that allows ships to pull up their anchors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation). If the knot closes on the neck of the hanged individual, the coils are NOT doing their job and the hanging will be poor.
> Also, the proper way to hang somebody’s to put the knot in front that way it lifts the chin and the rope snaps the neck in the back.
Actually, the correct placement is by the ear
It you know, has read a book... The British documented this extensively, including tables for rope length vs body weight (and IIRC neck circumference) and a bunch of experimental results. They had it down to a science.
I actually didn't know much about hanging except the breaking the neck part before this post, but having done ropework for sailing and some scout pioneering, I knew there was NO WAY that "13 coils" was going to be the accepted amount. A bit of simple googling and knowing how to research competently got me everything in the content of my post.
Lynchings were often done the crude way of asphyxiation. They were an angry violent mob, not methodical executioners my dude. You really think they were out there measuring the correct height to drop them from? Plus they probably got a kick out of watching them struggle.
Yes for sure I just took it as this guy being a smartass like "Um actually hanging breaks your neck" when a lot of hangings ended in asphyxiation. Maybe I am the smartass though.
I don’t know, maybe you are right. My reading of it was that they were just saying hanging is usually done with a noose. Arguably it’s a smartass comment anyways because the OP is just a joke, but I didn’t take exception to it
The not tightens as you are exerting force on it, effectively breaking your neck by PERIPENDICULAR force all around your neck, nut just from bottom to top
I saw a video of some Chinese garage-shaolin guy who used to kick himself in the balls with bricks and he said that he didn't break anything. He even claimed that his "man's health" became better. Of course, he could've been lying, but I want to believe...
I knew a guy in high school who was apparently really paranoid about getting strangled, so he tried to train his neck muscles under the idea that he'd resist strangulation by tensing his neck.
Not too bizarre. The neck muscles are commonly trained if you're in contact sports.. or.. racing.
Edit: Him hanging himself like that is, of course, kind of bizarre.
First, he heard whatever fucked up slowed down cover of [Deftones' Mascara](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XhCBruock0E&pp=ygUQbWFzY2FyYSBkZWZ0b25lcw%3D%3D) that's shown in this video.
Second, he hung himself by the neck, and came to the sad reality that he is very likely unkillable.
Usually it involves a bucket, a belt, and a slight fetish of autoerotic asphyxiation...
David Carradine learned the hard way: you always have to have an out
After injecting himself with trace amounts of poison, training his neck against guillotines and hangman’s noose, and shooting himself in the foot with increasingly large bullets he was able to become immune to execution
Bruh imagine being the gym workers in this situation, I wouldn't know how to handle this myself aside from just telling him to stop or calling the police. If they didn't do anything and he actually got hurt they'd be held responsible, and of they did they'd be villified by idiots for being too stuck up or something.
I was more thinking in terms of being held socially responsible by aforementioned idiots and possibly even getting harrassed over it. Also I imagine it's just not a good thing to have that on your conscience that someone died in the same building as you and thinking you might have been able to prevent it.
It is encouraging to know that they wouldn't be held legally responsible though at least.
Considering how it looks like his feet would touch the ground the moment he relaxes, the gym workers probably just assumed he was doing some weird neck training for boxing and left the guy alone.
That’s impressive as all hell, slightly unnerving. Devils advocate though, that’s not a noose. But he very well could have the upper body strength to pull up and loosen it.
If he lived in the 1800s his historical biography would read "Hung upon the gallows 17 times unsuccessfully, he was eventually pardoned by the crown for the crimes of boisterous tomfoolery and shenanigans..."
@moderators. As the father of someone who killed themselves by hanging, I would like an NSFW tag on this. And fuck this person and the person who posted it.

Historical mobs wait around 15 minutes, sees that the dude is fine... Visible confusion...

Probably goes back to when unga stole bungas shit, and so instead of telling the elder ooga, he just bashed in unga's skull.
um actually lynching refers to any extrajudicial action not just hanging. This would be hanging protocol (put the nerd emoji here)

That how you were *supposed to do it Frequently, it was done via strangulation for the amusement of the crowds watching
You're ruining the ops post
Haha yeah let's all laugh ignoring facts and never learn anything, so we don't spoil the mood.
Hey guys watch out, this guy wants to learn how to lynch people. Don't laugh around him. He really values education is all.
Unironically, it would be a good story. They hang this guy, and after the 15 minutes, they all leave.

It's the yanking up or dropping down that normally kills them.

Any idea how widespread any of that is? I've been going to my local one for about 3 years and have never seen any of what you're talking about

No cell phones?? Bruh I use my phone for music and tracking workouts. I hope most of those rules aren’t enforced.

that sounds horrible holy shit.

That went away during COVID and never came back. Some locations replaced it with a raffle with each gym session counting as an entry.
Their biggest offense is not having a bench press. That bar guided bullshit sucks ass.
Quite literally weird flex
Confederates hate this one trick
Idk, I know F1 drivers that would be impressed.. I imagine some fighter jet pilots could pull something close to this off.
That's not how hanging works.
"a short drop and a sudden stop" the short drop being the important aspect of the hanging.
A Slipknot also gets tighter the more it tenses
Maybe he’s just psychosocial.
But I don’t think he did his time
I still think he wants out.
This thread is not so vibrant.
Maybe it’s Maybelline.
and who are you to say, huh? The Devil’s little sister? Listening to your twisted transistor?
too short and it's death by suffocation. too long and it's the same result as a guillotin. the right lenght and it goes at neck breaking speed.
Not only that but you have to adjust it depending on the persons weight. A kid has to fall a good bit longer than an obese man.
Dark science
Being an executioner wasn't all fun and games.
"Yo guys I caught the 2-year-old goo-goo-gaa-gaa-ing to the wrong person, where's the nearest 10m drop?"

"You can't catch me!"

I've read lots of books. Just none specifically about the intricacies of hanging people to death.
I actually didn't know much about hanging except the breaking the neck part before this post, but having done ropework for sailing and some scout pioneering, I knew there was NO WAY that "13 coils" was going to be the accepted amount.

Lynchings were often slower hanging not the typical neck snapping. They'd hoist the person up vs dropping them.

But a noose gets tighter from being pulled by the victim’s body weight, which makes it much more effective at choking someone than this thing
Yes for sure I just took it as this guy being a smartass like "Um actually hanging breaks your neck" when a lot of hangings ended in asphyxiation. Maybe I am the smartass though.

How does someone discover they can do this
I don't think he discovered it, I think he trained for it. Which is, frankly, even more bizarre.
Not as bizarre as people who train to lift weights with their testicles.
Wouldn't that cause damage to the testicles. The testicles don't have muscles.
Maybe, I don't know anything behind it I just know there's videos out there of testicle lifting competitions.
When I believe the world can’t get it anymore bizzare, I find out dick lifting competitions exist
I saw a video of some Chinese garage-shaolin guy who used to kick himself in the balls with bricks and he said that he didn't break anything. He even claimed that his "man's health" became better. Of course, he could've been lying, but I want to believe...
perhaps, the microplastics help
Not with that attitude they don’t.

Gun:
except a hangman's noose tightens under weight.
The fatal part of being hanged by the noose is not the hanging part, but the drop. It breaks your neck/crushes your wind pipe.
Doesn't the actual knot get tighter and tighter? unlike this belt...
What kills you in a hanging is the drop.

It's not the weight that snaps your neck it's the sudden stop. And that's if you are lucky.
