Lethal Inject can mess up if the patient has poor veins or circulation, which contrary to most conceptions, happens quite often. Kinda like when the red cross has to fish around for veins when giving blood. Kinda linke in this one...
December 13, 1988. Texas. Raymond Landry. Lethal Injection. Pronounced dead 40 minutes after being strapped to the execution gurney and 24 minutes after the drugs first started flowing into his arms.12 Two minutes after the drugs were administered, the syringe came out of Landry's vein, spraying the deadly chemicals across the room toward witnesses. The curtain separating the witnesses from the inmate was then pulled, and not reopened for fourteen minutes while the execution team reinserted the catheter into the vein. Witnesses reported "at least one groan." A spokesman for the Texas Department of Correction, Charles Brown (sic), said, "There was something of a delay in the execution because of what officials called a 'blowout.' The syringe came out of the vein, and the warden ordered the (execution) team to reinsert the catheter into the vein."
or this one...
September 12, 1990. Illinois. Charles Walker. Lethal Injection. Because of equipment failure and human error, Walker suffered excruciating pain during his execution. According to Gary Sutterfield, an engineer from the Missouri State Prison who was retained by the State of Illinois to assist with Walker's execution, a kink in the plastic tubing going into Walker's arm stopped the deadly chemicals from reaching Walker. In addition, the intravenous needle was inserted pointing at Walker's fingers instead of his heart, prolonging the execution.

Also, breaking someone's neck pretty much kills them immediately, otherwise they gotta hang their till they choke to death....or if the rope is too long it will just pop their head off.
A process of sometimes grisly experimentation led to the discovery that an energy of 1260 foot pounds (1710 joules) would have the desired effect, so one could calculate the required drop by dividing 1260 by the weight of the victim: a person weighing 112 pounds (50.8 kg) required a drop of 11'4" (3.43 m).
I dunno, lol I just got a lot of time to kill before class starts a 8:00pm, bleh
These all have ways of messing up, save lethal injection which just suffocates peopleh34r:
It's funny how most people think its the most humane, but it basically makes people feal like they are drowning. I was going to go with hanging because it is quick, but it has a chance of breaking their neck and not killing them immediatly. I dunno, so long as I don't know the person they can die however the state deems fit
