This is the first I have heard about the guy's head coming off. Back on the live Saddam hanging thread I had posted a recommended drop chart based on weight (just to be helpful). And later when I watched the video of Saddam's hanging I thought at the time it looked like there was too much slack in that rope. Sounds like they didn't bother reading the instructions.

Here is a method that may work. Have a damper or a safety device in the rope that is set to release when the tension exceeds a certain value. If it happens too early, the hangee just falls onto the floor and sufferes a few small bruises. He is picked up, dusted off and sent back to the gallows with the trigger readjusted. After a few trial and error(involving falling onto the floor each time and being sent back)eventually it will happen just right, and the head will still be on the torso.
