Nicolae Minovici (1868 – 1941) was a Romanian scientist obsessed with the topic of hanging and its effects on the human body. He examined around 200 hanging cases, studied hangmen’s knots, and participated in experiments where he hung himself for a couple of seconds. [480 x 200]

But why though
A *literal* madlad…
Dude had a breathplay fetish and made whole scientific career out of it.
Man got all the letters wrong in hang man
The guy was clearly lonely.
He just wanted to hang with others that’s all.
I know I’m old because the first thing I thought was “wow, great spine decompression idea”
Ah the David Carradine play
Rather a fetishist then a scientist since despite his scientific efforts hanging still remains pretty lethal to this day ;p
I guess the Dracula stories are not entirely unfounded…
This shouldn’t be funny but that photo is getting me
Dedication.
He never hung himself.
Dude why is this sub randomly containing gore people getting shot, hung and executed, I thought this was a Europe sub for news, interesting photos, culture, food, nature, etc.
He’s really hung up on his ideas…
interesting kink
This feels like the backstory of a horror villain
It was just what you had to do to keep a steady paying job back then.
Hanged himself
Pulling the bollocks off himself the whole time
“Scientist”
The hanged man must have been his favorite tarot-card.
What were his conclusions?
