Here's the straight facts. Falling is extremely unpredictable. A variety of factors such as wind, vegetation can come into play and cushion your fall. It's why I won't try it. I'll give you one more possible Horror Story that I've been playing through my mind. There are many places where if you jump and fall, people won't even go to look for you because it's not worth the manpower or resources or risk.Now imagine. You were lying at the bottom with severe injuries, but you weren't killed.A deep gorge, perhaps? So you get the idea. In this situation, you will stay alive for days. Think about that. Think about it. Terrible pain, no medication, no treatment. Starving, unable to sleep because of the pain. Yeah. To be able to go painlessly is a blessing. Painlessly and quick.
