Easily breathe? really.. ?
Guess you have never seen such an execution right? There are two methods of hanging, one that requires the falling down and breaking the neck and another one without the fall that causes suffocation/brain death. Both are pretty fast cause the weight of the body makes the rope tie your throat and veins so much you cant breather and the blood flow to the brain is limited to minimum - depends on the actual blood pressure, which is higher because of the stress and body reaction, but still...
Once your blood flow to the brain is limited, you faint down and you can actually test it on some volunteer by touching the arteries on his neck with fingers, gently. You will see him dizzy in seconds.
So your theory of "easy breath" is stupid and wrong.
