Actually, There are too methods of dying by hanging.  One is
strangulation, and the other by a broken neck.  Rumor has it that when
you are hung for committing a crime, the way you die is at the
discretion of the hangman.  You can help to insure the neck snapping by
placing the knot of the noose towards one side of neck, rather than
right at the back.  This insures stess in several directions.  I
suspect that in order to use a rope long enough to cause your help to
be pulled off would require an outdoor arena, where the mess wouldnt
matter much anyway (skin and bones are tough stuff).  If you want to
create a mess, try wire, which will much more PSI than the thicker rope...
