Death recovery update
9 years ago
well now it seems as I can type well enough to tell the whole story.
The roap did not break, my rig didn't fail. I found my i phone with the video of what happened, and it turns out I accidentally hung myself. Was hung for quite a while. At LEAST 10 monies without air. Then my BF has to go in to get a big knife to cut me down. He cut me down but I was unresponsive. Then the paramedics come into view, then the rest was CPR and waiting for gurney.
But it was very hard to watch my BF trying to hold me u, crying into me as i lose life... being unable to cut the main cord with the scissors.
To be clear, this WASN'T meant to bebreathplay at all really. I was just going to hang INSIDE the plastic bags
I made this whole rig with buckets of water, a hose and a large bag of water for counterweight, The other buckets were for timing. Once the timers are done, a bucket is released which pulls on a other quick release tie holding the main weight up. The main weight lifts me up. I was meant to be hanging in a plastic bag with plenty of time to cut an air hole with my little knife and a tube to breathe through. Instead it caught my neck so I was bagged but also neck hanging, and it looked kinda hot actually then BF runs in and saves the day. so it wasn't MEANT to be a necktie hanging, I wasn't meant to have air the whole time. Just wanted to feel bagged.
So that's what happened. 10 minutes of being dead then the defib units came in. My chest still hurts from the CPR and AED.
I was in a hypoxic coma for 13 days then they woke me up and I recovered a a bit more in the hospital (Abut 10 days) when I finally managed to demand my way out of it.
Its been 10 days since I left the hostpital and im still shaky. So status still is no more progress on anything right now. Its hard still to type much less draw but im getting better.

I'm glad you're okay man, but damn that was too close. Some stuff is always better left as fantasy, y'know?
Anyway, please take care of yourself and continue to rest. Work with your BF to do some rehabilitation as needed, and keep him (or someone) close by until you're 100%.
Even mild bondage alone carries serious risks if you accidentally pass out, find you can't escape, or fall asleep in a gasmask (if your breathing is shallow enough, the valves will fail and you will suffocate, guys have died that way). Anyone reading this - please do not do bondage or breathplay alone. It's not worth dying for.
I bought a remote-control mains power socket the next day, for tuning off the vacuum cleaner I was using for suction.
*hugs you very tight*
Don't do this again without your BF on your side to save you.
I work on something very special for you (I love your ideas from the A.R.C) and it will hurt me very much if you get hurt like this.
Don't trys things like this! It will kill you very fast.
I'm very happy your feeling better and better.
If I finished my project I would like to send you the results. ;)
Same thing happened to david carradine. No one was around and died accidentally.
You know God said its not your time yet so let this be a learning experience and a lucky one and
dont do hanging stuff like that. You can still do breath play safely. There are hoods for that.
I have a couple of breath play hoods .
Get well soon.
It's just... if you're doing something as risky as breathplay (which I wouldn't even do in real life), NEVER EVER EVER do it alone. God bless your BF for being there at the right time to save your life. You absolutely need to test that rig thoroughly with your BF BEFORE attempting it (and even then, still not alone).
And even though I haven't done IRL bondage yet, I don't think a tree would necessarily be the best way to do suspension. You never know how weak the tree could actually be. As SabreDragon said on a different journal, it would be MUCH better if you invested in professional anchors or something for suspension.
After all of this, none of us really expect you to work on ANYTHING. I am glad to hear that you're getting better, and I imagine you'll be determined enough to get yourself to draw... but that's not something you should worry about now. You just need to rest and recover.
But I feel like God Himself said that it's not your time yet, so He returned you to this earth. Make the most out of this miracle.
Wish you the best
And this goes to everyone that reads this. BE SAFE!!!!
I wish you a safe recovery.
I'm very glad you're okay. Please don't do something like this alone, again?
I'm really happy that "you life to tell the tale". I'm doing selfbondage myself, alone, so I know the temptation of doing interesting things. But geeez, that was more than close.
I do absolutely hope you can recover fully from this and wish you best of luck!
So if I understand correctly you have a tree nearby and kinda regularly did this kind of activities, with your bf somewhat closeby, but not directly being involved?
