A smaller diameter of the same fibers will easily hold a (record breaking weight) person without a problem. The big problem is that with heavier people, the rope will hold but the neck tends to become the weak link. It's fine as far as the execution is concerned, but it does get a bit messy. The sheeple would probably consider it cruel or unusual. I hadn't thought about that. It's still a locking knot, though. I've got a noose in my front yard right now(yay, Halloween!) that I can't open without a knife.
