Sample

2. breaking neck
Time: Should be instant if it does break. See previous if not
Available: Rope, solid support, 10 foot space below, several above
Certainty: Very certain if the rope/support doesn't break
Notes: Minimal danger of discovery (depends on location). Painless
if you drop far enough (8 foot is optimum). Make sure that the rope
is tied securely to something STRONG!! It has to support your weight
MULTIPLIED by the deccelleration. Use a hangman's knot (with the knot
at the back of your neck). It doesn't always work this well though,
you might get a bust jaw / lacerations etc and then asphyxiate.

Calle: I got this table of appropriate falling heights from
a.s.h. long-time regular MegaZone (megazone@wpi.wpi.edu),
who got it from a friend of his named Mark.

Source: Charles Duff, Handbook of Hanging (Boston: Hale,
Cushman & Flint 1929)

Notes: This is for person of average build with no unusual
physical problems. The Author (James "Hangman" Barry) noted
that when executing "persons who had attempted suicide by
cutting their throats...to prevent reopening the wounds I have
reduced the drop by nearly half."
