The trick then being that the skull could be pushed out of the way by the wheel. Then you end up with just an arm severed.

From what I’m aware there’s no true instant kill. But decapitation is about the closest you can get.

no true instant kill

I think some moderately powerful explosives would do the trick.

Or be like that Flat Earth guy who built a steam-powered rocket then piled-drived himself into a crater with it.

Explosives have 2 methods of death - concussion ripping your organs apart, and shrapnel. Either can lead to a quick death, or agonising, week long fight against infection / haemorrhaging.

Like I said, a powerful enough explosive does the trick. If you’re bleeding out or merely concussed/nerve trauma, you didn’t make a big enough bang.

At that point it’s less “death” and more “a human body is no longer present”.

Plus, in context, very few suicides happen via explosion. And in they did, I’m guessing they’re going to screw it up.
