I am confused.....the more you weigh the LESS you drop? ???Yes, there has to be enough force to snap the neck.
Too short a drop on a lighter person and it's dangle and strangle.
Too far on a lard ass and it's no longer a hanging, it's a decapitation.
I guess I'm safe, I'm off the chart...

Kinda like...."give him enough rope"...and he'll hang himself.

"Too far on a lard ass and it's no longer a hanging, it's a decapitation."
Here in Washington a few years ago, there was an obese prisoner who got a judge to declare his upcoming hanging unconstitutional for that very reason - the guy was so fat that any hanging would have decapitated him. But I think the guy later died in prison of natural causes, a heart attack or kidney failure, I think.
