Techniques Ratings Guide (Explained)

Remember - all techniques are rated, and dangerous (mucho peligroso):


If you skimmed - and we've told you not to until we ourselves were blue in the face - go back now and read about Ratings - or click the graphic above.

You're perhaps confused, distraught, maybe a bit anxious, probably asking
"which method is best for me, my goals, my objectives?" or "why the hell does this have to be so darn complicated too?" Read on.

Other FAQs (before you rush to Techniques):

  • what about my tastes and preferences?
  • can I see a Features/Benefits comparison?
  • what about the costs? Am I covered?
  • will I be covered?
  • will it be possible to cover me?
  • who cleans up?
  • is there any guarantee?
  • will I need any permits?

Chin up! We have all the answers - in Advanced Techniques!

Our assortment is custom-tailored to make your upcoming demise a piece of cake and, in some cases, a spectacular event for onlookers as well.

Remember - all techniques are rated dangerous (mucho peligroso en Espagnol) regardless of media coverage and spectator value:

For entertainment purposes only. The Layman's Guide to Suicide was in print from July 1995-2003. Paperback: 64 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.18 x 8.42 x 5.38; ISBN: 0873648633; Still listed at Amazon.com. The concept is to make 'doing suicide right' seem so ridiculous that anyone predisposed will be laughing too hard to actually do it - which is our hope.
