Yeah, I hate the fact that everything is so uncertain. I've heard that people have survived falls from multiple heights. I hate the fact that there's a risk that I won't succeed, which is the only thing stopping me from ctb. I also hate the thought of having permanent damage from a failed attempt.

I honestly wish that people would just mind their own business and let me be. It doesn't even concern them, and they would think that they're being a hero/good Samaritan and that they're doing me a favor by stopping me. I hate how other people try to control the lives of others.

Literally! I hate how people have the need to meddle in the lives of other people. It's literally my body my choice. If I want to die, so be it. And if someone stopped a ctb I bet they would feel like a "savior". They would be like "yay, another life saved!" I saw in the news reports of police talking to and preventing a man from jumping from one of the bridges and they were so proud that they "saved a life". I hate this savior complex that people have. They seem to think that living is the most important thing regardless of the pain the other person is in. They just see preventing deaths as the ultimate goal and victory.

Ugh I honestly just hate pro-lifers, and how they try to control other people's lives. Let people do what they want to, it doesn't even concern you

i'd almost suggest you do it at night but i had a boat. we went fishing after work late at night til early hours of the morning. we could hear the slightest sound.

Thanks for the advice. Honestly I'm most probably not going to choose jumping as my method due to the risk of paralysis and being stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, but sometimes I think about it…

Unfortunately I know how to swim, I wish I didn't tho. Ugh why must it be so hard to die…honestly I wish one day my heart would just stop beating so I could die in my sleep

i could not tell if you wanted thr impact for ctb. i said it wrong. ok so you won't drown. i'm sorry we are all in the same position.

Thanks! I was mainly looking for ctb stats and data on the success of each bridge, but I guess this wouldn't be readily available

Brooklyn bridge is the most iconic bridge but might not be high enough. George Washington bridge is high enough to ctb. Its a double deck bridge. If you fall from the upper deck , its pretty much over.

Anti-suicide fence planned for GWB by 2024. Why isn't there one already?

There was one question the agency could not answer with certainty following fatal leaps from the bridge on Tuesday and Wednesday: Why, 84 years since GWB's completion, has a fence never been installed?

I think its not completed yet , if you live close , the best way is to go and see for yourself.
Its crazy how much money they spend for anti suicide barrier and others meaningless spending and they don't go at the root of the problem that society sucks.

We can't do it off of bridges here. Unless it's dead of winter you're going to live. Or be rescued. Waaaaayyy too many stories of people being pulled out alive. The freezing waters + the broken bones might do it but last winter I got close and read a story of a woman being pulled out of the East River, freezing cold and with broken bones. She's alive. It's not a good choice.

I agree. They would feel like saviours, but they wouldn't realize they just ruined us because our suffering would be much more intense than before the attempt

If you want to you can probably try climbing the Williamsburg bridge. A bunch of people urbexing climb it pretty easily and it's height at the top is a lot (forgot the exact amount). Only thing is people at the bottom seeing you and calling the police maybe. So it's obviously a night time thing.
