How hard is it to cut off someones head? In regard to the recent news story, I imagine it's not quick.

There are tendons, veins, spine to contend with. It seems like it could be a lengthy process...

  1. well i saw a video of someone from Iraq cutting someone's head and it took them a while...

    the neck is very thick and the bones are extremely hard...

    plus i think it depends on what you cut it with...


  2. uhmm i have no idea .. thats one thing i havnt done

  3. with the proper knife it doesnt take long at all.  My personal record is 21 seconds but trying to improve on that.

    Practice makes perfect :)  

  4. I wondered the same thing. Seems like that must have gone on for awhile...of course it depends on the "knife" (serrated or not, size). If you ever saw one of the terrorist beheading videos (don't-terrible) then it seems it only took about 30-45 seconds with a large knife. Still...that's a long time on a bus.

    Edit: Kinda makes you wonder if anyone had time to do anything about it. idk...wasn't there so can't judge.

  5. You should try it on yourself and let us know how it goes...

  6. they guy had a "Rambo" type of knife... thats a big knife!  but he decapitated him and then gutted him too.... sick, and very disturbing!  

    I watched a video hoax of a guy getting his head cut off in Iraq, and always thought it would be a smooth cut, but they had to saw at it to cut it off (it was fake....!!) but i still couldnt eat for days!  

  7. Depends on what you're using as a cutting tool.

    A chainsaw wouldn't take much time, but if you had a spoon, you'd be there for a while
