The hyperventilate and pass out thing is quite different from what I remember. My brother would squat down, take several very deep breaths, hold his breath, stand up with his arms down, have me wrap him up from behind and squeeze as hard as I cold. He would fall down, the eyes would roll into the back of his head, his body would jerk spasmatically, and he would think it was as cool as hell. Seeing this I never wanted to do it, but I was always willing to help hi. LOL
Maybe I misunderstood the article then or am thinking of something different because what you describe is exactly what I did back then 20+ years ago (minus the mini seizure thing).

Also called the Fainting Game, Pass Out, or Space Monkey, the Choking Game can be played individually or in groups. It consists of manually choking yourself or others, sticking a plastic bag over the head, tying a string around the neck or hyperventilating, all in search of a few seconds of euphoria.
I assumed this is what we were talking about here (bolded text above) - obviously if you introduce other mechanical things like ropes, bags, etc., the danger factor goes up by logarithmically.
