#R:houxq:-24300:sri-unix:2200003:000:683 sri-unix!billw Jan 19 19:08:00 1983 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...
