Yes, Dr.Guillotine designed it for merciful executions. Not sure what rope dancing is compared to drop snap, not sure if I want to know...

Rather than dropping at breaking your neck quickly you choke to death slowly. Cruel perhaps. But right now I’m so mad at libs....

Well, i’m sure you know, the whole scaffolding and trap door mechanism is designed to kill instantly and without suffering rather than putting a rope around someone’s neck and hoisting them up and let them dangle and choke to death. It’s a merciful device as well. When you start down the road of a gruesome crime should result in a comparatively gruesome execution, things get ugly fast.
