Can the person not just hold on to the rope and pull themselves up and grab whatever the rope is hanged from and free themslves? I read a post about suicide survivors, and they usually regret it mid way before killing themselves. So hypothetically can’t a person just pull themselves up from being hanged if they regret it mid way?

Hanging may or may not result in breaking your spine. If it does, you’re finished.
If not, death comes not necessarily from air being cut off, but the blood supply to the brain being interrupted by the rope compressing the big arteries in the neck. This causes unconsciousness and death *far* faster and it isn’t realistic to try to extricate yourself with the few seconds of useful consciousness you might have available.
