Walking on this windy day in my school with my tie flapping in the wind I wondered: can a strong enough wind hang me on my tie?
If I were to lift a person on their tie – they would hang. I think that the wind (as strong as it gets) cannot hang me on my tie, but I’m not sure why?

It’s all to do with wind resistance, which increases with surface area.
If you tied a parachute to your neck (don’t do this at home - or anywhere else - folks) you would certainly be dragged along and hanged. A large kite could do the same, but a tie just doesn’t have the surface area to create sufficient force.

Thanks for the answer, but I still think that if we increase the speed of the wind eventually it will increase the force. While a large parachute or kite could hang a person in moderate wind a very strong wind will increase the force on the tie. Another possibility I discussed with friends is that if the wind is so strong it will blow the person with the tie together. In that case, locking the legs in blocks of cement might enable a wind caused tie hanging

a wind speed of 40 to 45 miles an hour will blow you over, when that happens you will be in a zone of slower wind.

That seems a very convoluted way to do it  ;
Get a bigger tie
