How long is a "touch too long?" Here's a link to a web site that says the human brain can live with no damage for up to a minute with no oxygen: http://www.med.umich.edu/trans/transweb/faq/q3.shtml.
Now, I do realize this is dangerous. How dangerous? Let's get some perspective: More dangerous than driving while intoxicated? That's something that happens every night on every major highway in this country. More dangerous than texting while driving? Again, happens all the time. More dangerous than taking a shower at home? Tens of thousands of people die in the shower every year. Hell, every year over 400 people die from accidental CO poisoning, probably from using a barbecue grill in the house.
Thank you for your concern. I'll try to be careful.
hi Ekserb,
comparing a deliberate action where you are using extremely dangerous techniques is hardly gaining perspective when compared with disastrous accidents. Of course there are many things that we do that are dangerous and of course accidents can happen no matter what we do but choosing to play safe minimises some of the risks. Please don't think that I don't like to play hard because I do, often using extremely risky behaviour and of course that is my choice just as this is yours, however educated risks are very different to risks taken without sufficient information. In one of your earlier posts you suggested that it was only interrupting blood flow. As the previous poster said this is far more dangerous.the brain receives oxygen via the blood directly.Stopping the oxygen supply to the lungs on the other hand takes some time before it can affect the brain because the blood supply in the body is already holding oxygen. The Link that you used does not support your case well either although personally I find that link to be only reasonable not perfectly accurate. As it says in your link after one minute brain cells begin to die, but survival is possible (possible not even guaranteed for one minute). But there is a further issue that you don't appear to be taking into account when pressure is placed over the major blood supply to the brain it also presses on three nerve clusters. These nerve clusters if cramped for even one second too long can prevent blood flow starting again easily this is why some martial arts moves involving the side of the hand to the side of the neck can kill instantly. None of us are saying don't enjoy what you are doing we are merely suggesting that you make yourself as informed as possible so that the risks you take are relatively safe.
