I couldn't find a hotel that I could jump from balcony so I'm still here. Second option is a bridge that's 400 feet over water. Do any of you think I would die immediately on impact?

I think it takes about 400 meters (1500ft) to reach terminal velocity so if you were going to jump onto water I'd really do it from the greatest height possible. Head first of course there's a high chance of immediate death but from only 400 feet I'm not sure.

Edit: You can also increase the speed at which you fall by adopting a skydive type position but I don't believe this would have any effect until you reached speeds of 50-60 m/s and higher which would take a great height as it is.

But in the 5th paragraph it seems to say to go feet first in water. Also Golden gate is 250 feet with 98% lethality.

Bridge into water plus gun is the only way I feel comfortable doing this and even then I might chicken out but honestly I can't carry on like this

Same with a bridge near me, when I researching it it took me quite a while to realise fatal doesn't mean "death upon impact". You may drown slowly with a lot of pain and anguish. Of course it's up to you to decide what risks you're willing to take. I'm not sure how landing feet first would be better but I'm no expert. Landing head first seems more likely to break your neck which is the only way I can imagine death being instant.

You guys were right it does say to go head first. Ugh, and I get what you are saying about death not being instant.

When the Brooklyn bridge first opened there was a diver who tried to prove jumping off it was safe but he died

I really shouldn't find this humorous at all, maybe it's just the way you wrote it.

Irrelevant but you reminded me of a criminal I heard of once, broke into a pool/arcade place and stole all the £1 coins, pursued by police he jumped into the river behind the place and drowned because of the weight.

At least he got away. People do some really stupid things. It just reminds you how random and unpredictable life is. I'm sure there were people who laughed at both of their fates. Some people are straight up cruel.

That sounds like 100% foolproof. Wish I had a gun and I would do it.

Yes I think shooting yourself and then falling would work.

loll
why wouldnt just shooting work
i read very very stupid thoughts around here rly
no offense
u could just shoot ur sef quietly in ur room,mb with some music playing or something u like and go away peacfully
here u shoot ur self in public and fall like a dog in the water in front of witness
if u have a gun just point it right and its done
why u wanna go to that bridge or whatever?
i think that being outside might stop u from ctb because u will be amongs people and public and thats bad

Sounds like a great CTB disguised as accident
