Without a quick look at wikipedia or whatever site, can you honestly say that you know what crucifixion does to a person when they are crucified and how this gruesome and painfull method of execution was carried out?
If not you should look it up.

It's a slow, suffocating process. Once the legs relax, the body slumps and therefore the airways are restricted. When death was taking too long to arrive, the Romans would break the legs of the crucified to expedite.
Once death was successful, the bodies were left for the birds to pick dry.
Gruesome

Yes, I do and I do not have to look it up.
I know that it is very painful,
but the way that it kills is that there is so much weight on the lungs that it is very difficult to breathe and that the person would have to use all the weight of the legs to lift themselves up slightly to breathe. Eventually, they suffocate to death, if the loss of blood doesn't kill them first.
This is not very indepth, but gives the general idea.

Kind of a no brainer; if you have three nails driven into your body, one for each hand, one for the feet and you're hoisted up on a huge wooden cross and left there for three days, chances are good you won't survive. And the pain is self-explanatory; nails driven into ones hands and feet would be a bit uncomfortable.
Anyone finding it necessary to look this info up would be the sort of person directions on a shampoo bottle were written for; "lather once, repeat."

suffocation and stress to the body -- a truly sick and perverted method of execution -- and if by the end of the day, they weren't already dead, they'd break the legs of the man on the cross - the further stress & shock caused near immediate death

i fully understand it
Jesus was so bloodied and beaten that he was unrecognizable as human.
he endured more than any on would and did it not because he was guilty because he loved us.
hanging on the cross will pull down and make it hard to breath but Jesus over came and shouted IT IS FINISHED
he died a horrible death for horrible sinners
read Ias 53 and see what he did for you
what he too for you
he became sin for sinners
wore a crown of thorns so we could receive crowns in glory
THANK YOU LORD JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The victim asphyxiates.

There are several ways, but the most common is asphyxiation.
