How does hanging oneself cause a broken neck?
In: 0
Typically self hanging doesn’t cause broken necks. Those are cause by asphyxiation.
It’s the ones where you’re condemned as they’ll take you on a platform, called the gallows, then when it’s your time, you’ll drop through a trap door and your weight will cause the broken neck when your neck gets stopped by the rope.
There’s calculations and everything involved for body weight too. Too little space to drop and they’ll suffocate, too much and you risk decapitation.
