I've just removed the section starting: "There is evidence suggesting that there might be superior alternatives if there were sufficient interest..."
A couple of reasons: (1) There was surprise that the hanging was still a success even though the noose slipped up to the nose - but no suggestion that it was "superior"; (2) The para with "There is at least some evidence..." in it includes none, and is pure speculation; (3) "Presumably the upper noose held the lower one in place to ensure a perfect hangman's fracture" is not only also pure speculation, but "held the lower one in place" doesn't sound anything like a superior alternative - just keeping things tidy. (From memory, Pierrepoint wrote that he normally snugged a leather washer up tight against the knot - this may have been something that he did only after that nose incident). - Snori (talk) 01:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

On the issue of whether drop hanging causes immediate unconsciousness, more sources need to be found. Assuming completely successful fracturing of the spine, I believe unconsciousness is very rapid due to blood pressure drop, but cannot find a decent source on that. There are sources, one from a medical journal, but does not address the issue directly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nelson21101805 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Any sources for this? The entire section seems to contradict itself. "strangling gallows" and then describes a method which is unsourced on a method which results in a broken neck. I don't think that there's evidence for it. Spencer707201 (talk) 06:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
