Haven't decided date yet but think gonna jump to ctb. Due to my circumstances it's one of my limited options. Not going to go into detail on that as worried about what I share on here given recent scrutiny and it's irrelevant anyway.

Unsure if to jump onto the concrete path below. Don't think it's high enough to guarantee death so that does scare me as being paralysed/seriously injured is only going to make things 1000x worse. But few records I can find for jumps from that bridge on concrete, all died by the time EMT came. Majority of people jump into the river below. It's not high enough for instant death upon impact but many people have died, can't find many records of survivors. There's helpline numbers all over the bridge so it obviously works. I'm guessing the current in the river means most people drown before they can be found. I know drowning with fall injuries won't be pleasant death but I don't really care. At that point there's no backing out so doesn't matter how much it hurts. I don't need a peaceful death as long as it works. People drown in rivers without jumping so it should be likely? I can't travel to a higher bridge.

I am worried about SI. It's going to be during day I have to do it so will have to make it quick so people can't stop me/ phone cops and before family realise where I really am.

Should I drink alcohol first to reduce SI ? I've been sober for years so have low tolerance. I can't get benzos.

So many people on here say jumping isn't worth the risk unless extremely high but I'm getting desperate. Is it really that unreliable ?

I think it is. No, its reliable, like heights Royal gorge Bridge, but I backed out because I'm a idiot who can't even kill himself right.

Jumping scares me, I think I would hate the feeling of having no ground.
This is also why full suspension hanging scares me besides that if I do it incorrectly and it is painful I can't do anything.
Partial hanging also scares me for that reason even if done correct but then I still have my feet on the ground.

Alcohol does reduce SI (it is one of the things Kamikaze Pilots used to reduce SI) but you have to make sure you get drunk enough and have it timed right so it doesn't mess you up.

Other than that, I wish you luck on this. Jumping is one of the main methods I've been looking into, specifically with a large dam near where I live.

I think that if I had the courage for the jumping method I wouldn't risk it unless it's extremely high as failing jumping and ending up with injuries sounds so horrific to me but after all it's your choice, it's horrible to me how we exist in a world where we are denied the option of more peaceful and reliable ways to leave. But anyway I wish you the best with your plans.
