Becuz all the blood is rushing toward your brain, causing it to swell.. The blood is also not getting to your heart.

my guess is thatthe blood flow into your head would be too much..... like your head would explode or you would suffocate, i guess.. have you ever sat upside or whatever til your face turned red and then you like couldnt breathe right? i guess that could be why.. idk... good question.

because when you hang upside down all your blood goes to you head and your heart has to work really hard to pump it out. and eventually it quits

I don't know of such thing happening as this. After all, many athletes do this as part of their excercise. No deaths reported.

frost is right. when you hang upside down, the major artory in your body (your heart) isn't getting the blood that it needs. when the blood rushes to your brain, your brain gets overloaded with it and really has no room for air, which your brain needs to help your brain stay able to function properly. therefore, your brain becomes an enlarged balloon and you die.
