Which execution methods are the worst and which ones are the least painful?

[curiousnorway]

I'm talking about execution methods through the whole human history and not only these used today. Here's my opinions at the subject.

Least painful execution methods.
In my opinion there's no humane execution and I'm against death penalty. But some executions are just lesser painful than others I guess. Here's my guesses.
- Shooting (If they hit correct)
- Lethal injection (If done correctly and with the right ingredients)
- Beheading (But it's a bit messy though)
- Long drop hanging (Your neck would break)

Worst execution methods.
- Flaying
- Impalement
- Boiling/burning someone alive
- Breaking Wheel
- Colombian slips
- Blood eagle
- Crucifixion
- Hanged, drawn & quartet
- Rat torture
- Bamboo torture
- Scaphism

I forgot to mention the snake method. The convicted are bound to a chair and the mouth is forced open. Then the executioner puts a alive snake down his throat and the convicted would get choked to death.

I have to agree with your list and it's fairly comprehensive

Guillotines were pretty effective and supposedly being frozen to death is more pleasant than it sounds

Iron maidens and copper bulls were quite unpleasant for the people who died inside them. Someone tried tying people to chairs and drilling into the back of their skulls, but that was messy, lengthy, and didn't always work, so they went with something else. That one where they sit you on top of a blade and tie cannonballs to your legs so that it cuts you in half was pretty gruesome as well as tying you to a table and having a pendulum cut you in half. The Spanish had a fair amount of nasty torture devices and I believe it was the Chinese who tied people to giant kites

It's worth mentioning that long drop hanging resulted in many decapitations, which is part of the reason that it was largely replaced with short drop hanging. I think I'd have preferred the long drop myself.

I think that your list is pretty solid, I can't add anything to it.

[Forlorn011]

It wasn't replaced with short drop hanging. Give me some evidence of that.

I dont know the the term in English of execution methods.
I think italy's are the worst so far I know.

[curiousnorway]

If you knows about a execution method without knowing it's name, you can just describe it and I would understand. If you doesn't know what the executions in my list are, you can google it and find it out. Wikipedia can answer you.

It seem that I can not find italy's on google but I saw some on Da Vinci's Demons , So just can say that Italian seemed to use their creative talent on it. by the way, I only can find chastity belt

So how did the execution method work?

[ibodi]

Finally for fun, I guess but usually related to what kind of crime, That human thought out.
If that is rape then they thought out something about penis to maltreat.

[ibodi]

Like chinese was cruel too, It stopped from western came to there. Cause they think that was cruel.

The least painful is nitrogen exfiseation with the bonus being it's nearly impossible to fuck up as for the worst i would say the one wear they rap you up very tightly in wet leather strips then throw you outside at dawn and as the leather drys it slowly shrinks untell your scwished to death

even though long drop hanging and removing someone's head is less painful, they are not dignified especially in public.

[neilsmart]

you missed garrote?

[curiousnorway]

Garotte is similar to hanging. Both chokes you, so both is painful. But which one do you think is the worst and best execution methods?

[neilsmart]

head removed would be best, burning would be worst... garrote is more gradual than hanging though

[curiousnorway]

What do you think about my list by the way?

[neilsmart]

a comprehensive list of all the methods of torture and punishment

[Whatthefluff]

Nice. I agree
