Beachy Head

[drowning waterbaby]

Am thinking of ctb at beachy head..anyone been there to scope it out recently. Are the chaplains around 24/7. Where is the highest best point to jump from?
Also there are two lighthouses....people say are best to jump by. The one above or one below. What do folks think?

A couple of nights ago I watched a documentary about a skydiver murder plot gone wrong. The woman jumped 4000 ft without a parachute and STILL SURVIVED. Stories like that are why I would never trust jumping of any description.
It's not worth the possible consequences you may have to live with.

I saw that too. But so few have survived the jump and I just cannot get the hang of partial suspension. Drowning weighted down in nearby river would be my next choice but everyone says it is so painful

That is an awful way to go, the fear an survival response that kicks in when drowning id imagine would be painful

Only 2-3 survivors at BH. Anyone been there recently?

That video is misleading, the parachute didn't completely fail.

You won't find one single example in history of anyone ever surviving an unbroken fall over 300ft onto concrete. It's physically impossible for a human to survive.

It wasn't concrete, (she fell into a ploughed field) but neither is whatever is at the bottom of Beachy Head I don't think.
According the the documentary both parachutes (reserve as well) failed.
