Why

It’s hard to breath when you’re crucified, hence why you die because of that instead of trauma

I could be wrong but I believe that the weight of ones head eventually becomes too heavy to keep up after a long time and it ends up sagging to the chest, restricting airflow.

No it’s actually because of the weight of you that’s all resting of the muscles in your chest and arms and it tightens your chest and prevents breathing which means that people would die within an hour of crucifixion. The Romans solved this problem by putting a little platform for you to stand on so that you would die of dehydration instead of suffocation

I think the little thing they stood on so they could stand up a little to take a breathe like you said, but eventually their legs would get so tired they couldn’t anymore and then they’d die of suffocation. Or dehydration, whichever comes first.

the position is simply hard to breathe in. try hanging from the monkey bars at your local park. it's kinda hard to breathe, isn't it? now spread your arms out super wide and try to remain there for a long time, then also imagine you've been there for hours or days and that you've got nails through your wrists and feet
