I would think the brain would be so overwhelmed by the knowledge that certain death is seconds away and nothing can stop it. Would that shatter the mind? What would that feel like?

It very much could do, I guess that it's impossible really to know the mindset of those who have ctb that way but I think that those who left in such a way were very brave, I admire them for the courage they had. I think that those who ctb in such a way were likely very determined to leave.

How would people here know what it psychological death feels like? These questions are really weird and lead me to think that you should not do the jumping method. That you would ask these questions makes me think you will not plan your jump effectively. Are you really young?

I am also really confused by OP's questions, as I have read some of them.
Either young or just very curious about suicide, in a bit of a concerning way.

i already posted on another thread from op but here i come again :
1) you stay conscious every microsecond of it ; in fact, that could traumatize you if you survive (personally, i hadn't felt comfortable walking on bridges for a lot of times after my 1st attempt)
2) you have no way of knowing if you will succeed or not, because there's a lot of randomness involved.
it is not reliable, nor peaceful, nor enjoyable. i don't want to be harsh or anything, but you seem to be totally unaware of a lot of things about this method.

Try a bungee jump somewhere. That could approximately answer your question.

Many people have survived suicide attempts from falling. I've never heard of a single one that recounted their mind literally stopping during the fall.

I've thought about this too! I imagine the brain doesn't even get enough time to comprehend the whole feeling. Would be interesting to experience but that's obviously difficult

You jump from high enough you will die. It's not that complicated once you're in the air. You clearly jumped off a freeway overpass or something equally stupid.

I'm not sure. Ive read something once about people who have survived jumping off the golden gate bridge. Almost all of them regretted it when they jumped. I think you are concious the whole way down.
I wonder if those who survived the jump lived because maybe on their way down, that slight urge to live helped them land in a more survivable way? Its kinda impossible to know because of survivorship bias
Jumping has some kind of spiritual relevance for me. It's what you dream about as a kid, falling.
I just hope.it doesn't feel as bad as it does in dreams. But it was probably the earliest form of suicidality, hunter gatherers noticing a comrade just happened to walk off the cliff.

The closest thing to flying without assistance that we've got
That bridge isn't a good spot. It's not high enough for water. There has been at least one who failed who went back to that bridge and succeeded the second time. Most suicides are impulsive, which is probably why people regret it so much.

Jumping scares me immensly, would never choose that method, high places give me much anxiety and just the thought of having no ground under me scares me.
You would have so much adrenaline in the moment that I think you'd be able to hear colours lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a heart attack before you hit the ground.

Definitely.. I came close and I remember this mindset I was in, so absolute, almost rocking toward the train. I was stopped unfortunatelyā¦ but I think that's the best way out for me personally
i don't want to imply anything but did you tried to ctb like, ever? you sound like me 12 y ago.

No because when I try I won't fail. I don't understand people with multiple tries under their belt. Reminds me of what Stalin said when his son failed at his attempt. "He couldn't even do that right." Incompetence is not a virtue.
You don't understand nuance.

Only if their heart is already fragile like people who have heart attacks during sex

You do not die until you make impact.
First, countless individuals have survived fallsā¦.with impact.
Second, I used to jump from high platforms in the open jungle (the closest thing to ctb) and you are conscious the whole time. I've tried it feet first, head first, and backwards while tethered to my waist.
The most likely way you could die during the free-fall would be if suffered a heart attack, not from the 'fright/excitement' itself.
I've also skydived, and you're completely aware throughout the free-fall.
If people were dying during the free-falls, these extreme adrenaline sports would not exist.
It's the complete opposite. Visit any country with a jungle, and a tour operator will offer to throw you off a cliff with a thin rope around your waist for $200. They'll even film it for you!

Why don't you ask Google if we are a bunch of dummies?
It's like the blind leading the blind around here!
The people commenting have never died, yet, people keep asking 'death' questions!
You are getting the "best" response. Ok?!

It was good in some respects like where you said one is fully aware. Sounds like an elevated form of consciousness. Daily life is ordinary and doesn't require full awareness.
I think you'll definitely feel a loud and painful smash, but only for a brief moment.
