You cannot call a halt to it by just standing up because you loose consciousness after a few seconds (usually 3 to 7 seconds) once the ligature compresses the carotid arteries and thus blood flow to the brain - you are a 'passenger' then and your own bodyweight provides continuity of ligature pressure - whether you are hanging free, standing, kneeling, sitting or laying.

The cricoid, hyoid or any other bone rarely breaks (less than 5%) and usually has nothing to do with the mechanism leading to death (which is the stop of bloodflow to the brain, and also NOT stop of respiration - you can easily hold your breath for 3 to 7 seconds without any problem - so hanging is not 'suffocation', btw.), and breaking of the neck usually only takes place in very long drops, but still hard to calculate even there are several 'dropping heights' around, it is still very individual (body weight, type of ligature, position of knot, but also mostly important and hardly measurable individual structure and stablitity of bone - elder people suffering from osteoporosis are reported to have higher percentage of 'hangman-fracture' even when stepping off a few inches...)

Finally, some of those found with feet on the floor have been hanging free when they stepped off from their elevated position - but due to some elasticy of the strangling device (almost nothing when using a noose of wire, a lot when using a pntyhose or a scar), and elasticy of the vertebral column, which both are expanded by bodyweigh, a few inches extra are gained within some minutes or hours. Although, again, hanging free is NOT a necessity for passing out and finding death, as mentioned above.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I do not mind being corrected when I am wrong.

Here, let me get you a better version of that last one, man. You seem to have found the Mini-Me edition. ;)

Jesus. Ever hear of birth control? Or failing that, abstinence?

Idk. Maybe her husband/bf wouldn't let her abstain or use BC. Either way, that's a lot of kids.

Noticed that the other shoe went rather far away from her. Is that a result of struggling?
