The physiology of a sleeper or choke out hold is different from suffocation. When someone is suffocating, such as by having the mouth and nose blocked, the heart continues pumping and the entire blood supply continues circulating through the brain. The victim remains conscious because the blood supply in the body acts like a reserve oxygen tank. Otherwise, they'd pass out within seconds when holding their breath.
The choke hold works by cutting off the blood supply to the brain. The brain consumes a great deal of oxygen. Thus, the supply arteries in the neck are quite large. If those arteries are suddenly closed by compression, the brain cells can only be supplied by their adjacent blood cells and that's not much. The brain starts feeling the effect almost immediately and goes into emergency conservation mode to prevent damage which is why consciousness is lost in only fifteen to thirty seconds.
It's also why playing around with a choke hold is dangerous and very stupid. The participants often assume that it's no different than breath holding. But, the brain can suffer permanent damage if the blood supply is cut off for more than a minute. Death can occur very quickly. That applies to a healthy brain. If there are any aneurysms or injuries to the brain, the victims can be pushed beyond the point of recovery within seconds. It's not unusual for a victim to have seizures. They can vomit and aspirate it, especially if they are surrounded by idiots who haven't a clue about what to do. Many people have died playing this game. Just search choking games on the Internet to find more information about it.
As far as the preceding videos are concerned, I think number one is real. But, with friends like that, who needs enemies. Number two is real. If you turn up the volume, you can hear the victim making a snoring sound which is common for people who lose consciousness. Number three appears to be fake. The victim only appears to be dizzy and recovers quickly. He taps out on one attempt. They're probably doing it wrong.
Videos number four and five are both real and asinine. A hold like that could cause permanent damage to the neck and spine. They could kill someone from those injuries alone. True idiots!
The bottom line is, enjoy the videos but don't do it.
Bullshit.
Anyone who has watched Marcus suicide video will now that it took him more than a minute to pass out, with neck compression and cerebral anoxia you can stay conscious up to a minute.
Anoxia is different from hypoxia, we have to make this clear I am referring to cerebral anoxia.
For Christ Sake, Marcus died and you call that not enough pressue? I
His whole head went deep purple. Try it on yourself if you don't believe me.
