Re: Russian Man’s Suicide Attempt Resulted In Decapitation
he should have used the handy drop tables. These tables were used to calculate the appropriate length of rope needed for a hanging based on factors such as the weight of the individual and the desired "drop" distance, which is the distance the person falls before the rope arrests their fall. William Marwood, an English executioner in the 19th century, is often credited with refining these calculations and developing a more scientific approach to hanging by using tables to determine the appropriate length of rope for a humane execution. |
