Think about being tied down in a chair, and have your eyes taped open with that played for an hour. I'd hold my breath until I pass out.
Not possible.

It's possible, quite possible.

You're thinking of killing yourself by holding your breath, which isin't possible under normal circumstances.

You could probably do it until you passed out, but you couldn't do it until you died.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

For the same reason as that I can't die by holding my own breath (you don't have voluntary muscle control after passing out), I couldn't take pictures either n00b.

What if you have a few people in a room, and they watch you hold your breath 'til you pass out?

You might be right about that, Joe.

You can probably pass out with some difficulty by holding your breath, but as soon as you passed out (which is giving up voluntary muscle control), you'd resume normal breathing.  That's what happens when you pass out.  You couldn't die from holding your breath, no matter what Maddox says.  ;)
