| Jun 13, 2016 at 10:17 | comment | added | Oreo | He stands on top his horse and rests his lasso on a wooden support beam. He decides to test the strength of the lasso by tying it to the beam and pulling down on it. He reckons that it is so strong that it could withstand his whole body weight so he puts his neck in and leans back. The horse gets bored, pisses on the ground, and walks off. | |

| May 20, 2015 at 19:34 | comment | added | blakeoft | I bet it isn't very fun to die by hanging yourself. But I bet it's especially awful to have your feet cold while you wait a very long time for a block of ice to melt so that you can slowly suffocate. | |

| May 20, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | Paul Draper | Ropes with natural fibers can shrink 5-10% when wet. He tied the rope around his neck, and leaky roof cause the once 10ft rope to become 9ft. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 3:37 | comment | added | Paul Draper | The man was too weak to jump into the noose himself, but he put Flubber on the floor (or his shoes) and jumped on that. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 3:34 | comment | added | Paul Draper | He climbed the ladder around the corner of the barn (where it was later found) to the roof, then jumped through the hole in the roof. | |

Fixed the magnet one?
