Decapitation by Train

[TAW122]

There are so many things that could go wrong. If you don't get the placement right and the velocity of the train isn't high enough, then there is a high chance of surviving with permanent injuries. Also the possibility of traumatizing the train conductor, the passengers on the train, and of course, the aftermath of it all. If you have a better method (preferably more peaceful one), then I would recommend into those instead.

I am only thinking about it due to desperation

Desperation is a key word. Sounds like this could be an impulsive act. Impulsive acts can lead to failure. I'm just saying

Well said...........with this method alot assume its just instant and quick death, but as you and I know and perhaps researched its not always the case..............imaging surviving it and being totally incapacitated, worse than before the attempt.............that would be hell.

There is just so much that can go wrong and it requires precise timing and positioning to be effective. If things do go wrong, you will be in EXTREMELY worse position than you were. I do not recommend for people to watch videos of train suicides, but it is an eye opener when these go wrong.

If you're in the states and not near an unguarded high speed rail stop, then don't do it.

And we have almost no high speed rail.

And the stops are almost invariably jealously guarded because Yanks are afraid of our own shadows.

And the trains skip very few of those stops so it's not even worth it that they're "high speed," which USA high speed rail isn't True High Speed Rail.

Death By Train, 0/10 would not bang

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by needing high speed rail?

but what are the chances of things going wrong?

Yes but it's the closest thing that comes to a sure way

Aww, you know I'm happy you're still here.

Some of us though want to go, that's just the reality, and guillotine and train are very similar methods. There is context. They appeal to me, too. Why? Because decapitation is instant and guarantees no stitching together by some do-gooders who think they can decide our fate for us. Of course the problems with trains is the driver, which is why I've dropped the method. I'm calmer now. But I was there once, at my lowest point in 2001 I too stood at the rails.

Hello,

What in your opinion would cause a failed attempt?

Have you heard of the wheel guard for trains where instead of hitting you there's a thing that pushes you?

Basically drags you then will not kill you but mess you up really badly

Thank you!
Would a subway train be better than a railway of a regular freight train? Again this is not something anyone wants to do, just finding out about it due to no other choices.

Hello,

Just wanted to get everyones thoughts about decapitation by train.

Just wanted to know what could possibly go wrong with this method?

I am worried that instead of the train decapitating me, I will just get flung by the force of the train onto the railroad tracks & lose limbs, suffer terrible injuries & etc.

There are many people that are successful with this method, but then I hear there are plenty that aren't successful with this method.

Thank you for your input =)

(This is obviously not the method of choice. I am only thinking about it due to desperation.)

A significant amount of people here will denounce it due to psychological trauma to responders. If done well, it is a very lethal and fine method for the suicidee, everyone else suffers. Some question the degree of emotional impact upon drivers, which is debatable. But, I dare say, it's the principle for me. It's involving other people. People that more then likely, know nothing of you, and did not contribute nor have anything to do with your depression, suicidiality, etc.

Whenever there is a train suicide you always hear the people affected whining saying they should have chose a method that doesn't inconvenience them

Yeah, at the same time society tries to take the peaceful methods, that do not involve anyone else, away as much as possible.

What exactly can co wrong when you put your neck on the train tracks and wait for a train to decapitate you? I would really like to know.

Unless you change your mind like Helen Galsworthy it'll work. She's a great example of what could go wrong. She moved at the last second and lost her legs.

Amazing how her life turned around after she lost her legs, http://www.barcroft.tv/amputee-mum-loses-legs-in-suicide-attempt-helen-galsworthy

Still a gruesome way to go it could be a lot worse than losing your legs https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-left-paralysed-after-being-8500862

There are easier way's to ctb where you don't cause suffering to the driver, passengers and bystanders.
