PWally,
You don't know much about modern rope. There are fibers that when enough of them are tristed together they will pull an aircraft Carrier without stretching. A smaller diameter of the same fibers will easily hold a (record breaking weight) person without a problem. The big problem is that with heavier people, the rope will hold but the neck tends to become the weak link. It's fine as far as the execution is concerned, but it does get a bit messy. The sheeple would probably consider it cruel or unusual.
I hadn't thought about that.
It's still a locking knot, though. I've got a noose in my front yard right now(yay, Halloween!) that I can't open without a knife.
