You can't kill someone with a RNC unless you hold it on them for a minute or more. Even then you'll probably just cause brain damage and not death. You're not depriving them of oxygen, so you would have to disrupt the blood flow to the brain for a substantial period of time to do any permanent damage. (Assuming you are doing it right. When done wrong, it's possible to damage the trachea and cause swelling that can lead to asphyxiation).
A flawlessly executed RNC will put someone out in about 5-8 seconds. If it's not on perfectly tight or if they're able to struggle around, give it 12-15 seconds. |
