How long will you survive after decapitation?

Answer 1

Depends on what your expectations on "surviving" are. Mere seconds at most, after the jugular is cut blood no longer goes to the brain and you probably lose conscious, and sight quickly. People who have witnessed guillotine executions say that the head retains some eye and muscle movement for a very short time after. I saw a Taliban Propaganda video on the internet. A poor man whose head had been completely severed, eyes shut, (about 30 seconds after the front of his neck was cut) move his mouth and tongue for a second and a half like he was gasping for air ( I kid you not.....creepy)!
