Can you die from being squeezed in a headscissors submission hold?

Answer 1

My girl has about 21"-22" tighs and she is stronger than most of girls. When she cross her ankles and straightens her legs there are some problems with breathing. If she is doing it in classical way, from behind me she must use little bit more power than in front or reverse headscissors. When she is using about half her strength there is no other way than submit in panic ;) once i had passed out from her classical headscissors. when she is applying hs in her upper tighs in front or reverse headscissors im getting knocked out each time when she use about half her possibilities. So yes - you can die.

Answer 2

While it is theoretically possible to die from being squeezed in a headscissors submission hold, it is extremely rare. The pressure applied to the neck and blood vessels in a headscissors hold can lead to loss of consciousness or potentially asphyxiation if not released promptly. However, the hold is typically applied with control in sports like Wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to avoid serious injury.

Answer 3

Well, honey, anything is possible, but let's get real here. While it's technically possible to die from a headscissors submission hold if it's held for an extended period of time and cuts off blood flow to the brain, it's pretty rare. So, unless your head is being squeezed like a grape for an absurd amount of time, you're more likely to just tap out and live to fight another day.

Answer 4

It is highly unlikely for someone to die from a headscissors submission hold applied during sports or training, as the person applying the hold would typically release the pressure upon the request or signal of the person in the hold. However, if excessive force or pressure is applied with malicious intent, there is a potential risk of serious injury or death due to asphyxiation or neck trauma.
