Crucifixion kills by asphyxiation. Hour after hour, the victim is left hanging from the cross. If he hangs from his arms, he can not breathe properly and must soon take his weight on his feet in order to draw breath, but fatigue soon causes him to hang back on his arms. When he is no longer able to raise his weight onto his feet, he must then die from asphyxiation. This is confirmed by the author of John's Gospel, who has the soldiers break the legs of the other two crucified men, in order to hasten death before the Sabbath.
