In a way I agree with the OP. I would like an infallible solution to kill me, but a lot of that boards will only make me have sequels

The numbers we will never know are the ones who attempted to exit and either failed or were "saved" at the last minute but nothing was reported to any authority. Those folks are not obviously counted and as MindFog indicated it could well be half or more of the population. Don't forget those who plan and never follow through.

I also asked myself, but what is a real try at all? Standing on a bridge? Trying to do it with unresearched methods, e.g. a package of paracetamol out of desperation? etc. I guess after filtering that out the successrate is higher.

SuicideWatch is a deterrent, they give you methods that fail so that you won't dare try again. Most are usually just cutting wrists or parasuicide methods.

That makes sense. I can't take people seriously who say they've attempted countless times. Why would anyone admit to being so incompetent?

You say incompetent, I say misinformed, especially when you consider the sheer number of impulsive attempts. It's much harder to kill oneself that people assume.

besides that people choose the strangest paths, I want to add that it also has to be taken into account that the number of hidden prolifers is uncounted on here.... so there might be people around that claim to have tried but indirectly try to make others insecure about a method

Because they're bad sheep in good sheep clothing.

Hard to say as a lot of folks likely pass away without a media report or any information shared about the incident.

As I always say, data,data,data! If one wishes to do something important, one must study the subject. If one wishes to succeed!

I just find it horrifying how ctb attempts fail in the first place. Failing ctb is what I fear. I really do hate the fact that the society denies people the option of reliable and peaceful methods and they have no choice to resort to risky ones. A peaceful exit from this life really should be a human right but the problem is the pro suffering society that wants to force people to suffer until they die from old age.

reminds me of suicide kommando - cause of death suicide (one year approximatelly one million people die from suicide)
