They used a sharp knife? Clearly they did not pass DECAP101.

I think the guy in this recent post could teach DECAP101. He knew to exactly where to slice (at the top two vertebrae).

he might not be the sharpess tool on the shed but his tool his the sharpess in the shed!

The brain lives and functions for several minutes after it’s blood supply and nervous system is disconnected from its body, so this guy was probably still having awful thoughts for a looooong few minutes after the event.

Good blade? Almost took as long as that chainsaw beheading from the other day.

While this wouldn't be an issue back in the day when the headless body or head on a stake sent the message, times have changed. In the era of streaming video, it is the act, not the result, that matters. Part of that message gets lost when everything turns into amateur hour because they inevitably struggle to cut through the vertebrae.

Anyone who has taken anatomy knows that while the interlocking vertebral joints keep the spinal column aligned, it's the ligaments that hold it together.

These ligaments run the length of the spinal column on all sides of the vertebral body. While a sword, machete, or meat cleaver may have enough force to get through them, a knife relies on its sharpness to do most of the work.

Attempting to saw through the vertebrae at a single point will only disrupt a small portion of all the ligaments involved. I believe it would be much more efficient to use a rocking motion with an emphasis on going around as much of the the circumference of the vertebrae as possible. Once the majority of these ligaments have been disrupted, it should only take a couple of well placed slices while pulling back on the head to complete the deed.

Part of me can't believe that I actually wrote that. I really hate watching these types of videos, but morbid curiosity always seems to get the best of me (especially when the post had this type of title).

I guess I'm saying if they're going to do something this unpleasant, at least do it more efficiently to make it a little less unpleasant.

Good point, most of us have seen experienced executioners do the deed in just a few seconds. The eyes and face were still moving when head was completely severed. This guy was an amateur.
