Having tried to do this exact thing, you just instantly gib if you try to revive yourself like this. Your body has to be in critical condition for you to succumb, which means you're too damaged for SR to work by default, so you just pop like a lit fart-filled balloon. There's another way to do this but it is in no way an easily abused method.
Doesn't it only gib you if you have 400+ damage of burn and brute combined? Or if you're rotten? if you were to suffocate to death you would be absolutely fine, add PFD to your mix then suicide via breathholding and you should come back fine. In theory.
Perhaps also Yobihodazine? Something that completely cancels oxy damage such as that chem would be super helpful.
also off-topic.

Perfluorodecalin prevents oxy damage as well as healing it iirc.

After seeing just how much of a pain in the ass it is to astrally project yourself into spying on the AI without getting stuck in the afterlife, and especially since you can *already* do this with any real antag, I'm going to say that I think this idea is actually a good one.
SR is a finicky bastard, and if all of its conditions to work aren't met, you get to sit the rest of the round out. If your resurrection codpiece doesn't trigger properly, your corpse ends up too dead or looted to be revived, or your ghost forgets which body it belongs to, you're not coming back, no matter how much you want to rat out the AI's Monkeys Are Human law. And that's assuming you even get the belt or SR before the AI gibs you with a door.
