yeah it hurts
source - myself . . . I was beheaded, twice
That is disturbing but it is actually supported by the Headless chicken incident ..... At my place there was a execution that is meant to inflict pain, its called 'Sule chorano' that makes the criminal sit one spear that is erected on the ground and it basically goes through the posterior and ejects where it feels to eject and he/she remains like that till he/she dies.
i know very well op i was beheaded over 9000 times already it doesnt hurt at all
The font gave me cancer.
Put simply, sometimes.
It's all down to chance, most of the time, the beheaded will go almost straight into a coma but on occasion, left over oxygen in the brain can remain for a few seconds, keeping them alive with exposed, cut nerves which send signals back to the brain telling it of the situation causing a great deal of unutterable pain for a short amount of time.
