Yeah. A small miscalculation can cause that. It basically has to be just right (the length of the rope / height of the fall).

To be honest, I laughed when I first head that.

You can still be sentenced to death by hanging in the UK...for high reason, aka assassinating the Queen.

Did he do something to that had to do with terrorism? Never heard of him or anything about him. Quite interesting.
