If you make your knot wrong and you don't fall from high enough, you won't break your neck but strangle to death instead. You'll urinate and defecate in the process, and your tongue will swell and hang out of your mouth, even more so if left longer. Your supporting beam may also break through the process of suffocation, and due to the lack of oxygen you might experience brain trauma, but not die. Now you're even more miserable and can't even do something about it.
Resumé
Razors pain you, rivers are damp,
Acids stain you and drugs cause cramp,
Guns aren't lawful, nooses give,
Gas smells awful, you might as well live.
