Abstract: Suicide prevention is a significant societal challenge, and hanging from ceiling fans has been a common method in such tragic events. This project presents an innovative approach to mitigating this issue by designing a ceiling fan equipped with a spring-loaded rod that extends when it detects the weight of a person attempting to hang. The extension of the rod prevents suffocation by reducing pressure on the person's neck, while an integrated alarm system immediately alerts family members or nearby individuals, enabling swift intervention. This system is designed to be non-intrusive and easy to install in households, offering a low cost, life-saving solution that enhances safety and protection. By combining mechanical design with automated alert technology, this project exemplifies a practical and effective method to reduce suicides and provide timely help in crisis situations.
