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

Did he survive? but how long? a few days at most, right?

It was a woman and she's still alive today

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.

Beachy head or anything other than a perfectly straight drop down to concrete is extremely risky if you ask me. I always think of attempts of the Empire State Building where people instead hit one of the buildings below or the videos of the people jumping off the hoover dam. Because it's a slope you see their body ricochet (as it would from a rock on a cliff face) and it violently breaks a limb(s) before they finally slide and hit the bottom. I'm also reminded of a 9/11 jumper than somehow survived the initial impact but mangled irreparably from the torso down, pleading to a first responder who put a black tag on her that's she wasn't dead. Or anytime there's water involved aka bridge/cliff I just think about how if you survive the initial impact you're now meters and meters underwater, bones shattered, in total shock and you die with every fibre of your being on fire as your lungs fight for oxygen to cling to life.

Point is to guarantee 'success' there's a lot more to consider than meets the eye. You might be lucky and hit your head on something first on the way down or your final moments could be a mix of sheer terror and agony.

Anyway happy thoughts happy thoughts
