Method Getting run over by a train

[Guld]

So there's a train track really close to where i live (Not a station, just rails in the middle of nowhere), and getting run over seems like a really good way to kill myself. The reason i haven't done it yet is because i don't know when the train goes through here and waiting for it is boring as hell. I'm not really concerned about it, but i do wonder, is it hard to lie still in front of a train? It seems like it would be easy, compared to drowning where its super uncomfortable and easy to make it stop. Does survival instinct kick in the same way? If so, would alcohol help? I don't have access to any drugs or medicine, but alcohol wouldn't be a problem (except for the taste).

I'm probably going to just walk along the tracks till the train arrives. Another thing, how should i position myself to make sure i don't survive? I was thinking to sit down on my knees and lower my head over one of the rails, hoping that will decapitate me. Will i have time to do that if the train is like 200m away? The train is really old, I'd say 1970s or so, if that makes any difference.

And yes, I'm aware of how traumatizing it would be for the driver, and how fucked up my body would look afterwards.
People can get over me dying. I cant get over me living.

You, sir/ma'am, are very brave. Brave to consider that method. Brave to post it here, given the nearly universal sentiment that our deaths should have minimum impacts on others. Have you checked out the methods threads here?

Thank you. I have looked around a bit, and i haven't found anything on the topic of trains, though i am quite new here.

Hello brother, I am sorry to hear about your pain.
When one chooses to end their life it will always impact others, whether they believe it or not.
My grand poppa killed himself by stepping in front of a train, I had to go to a coroner's inquest (for a few days even though he was missing we couldn't be sure it was even him).
We got to listen to the drivers testimony and it was pretty upsetting for him.
I realise you are facing a hard choice and some hard times but I'd give some thought to this before concluding it's the one for me.
Good luck brother.
Peace
DBD

I think too many factors obscure a reliable conclusion that getting shot in the head is painful--including the nature of the wound, the gross anatomical damage, potential reporting bias among respondents, and recall bias associated with related pain secondary to the initial blast wound in those who obviously survive. The individual quoted above survived the gunshot wound. They are categorically different from individuals who do not. There isn't nearly enough precision or high enough quality of evidence in reports to conclude confidently that dying by a gunshot wound to a critical region of the brain is painful. More, what is a "dignified" way to die ought to be as personal a decision as whether or not to die.

If your right then it doesn't matter. But if I am right then decapitation is probably worse than getting kicked in the penis 10 times. Do you really want to gamble with your dignity and others? Chew on that.

Besides me, a dignified method would be better for you.

weird responses with similar use of words

You're speculating and walking dangerously close to making decisions for other people. There's little evidence corroborating the claim that dying by strategic gunshot is "painful." And if the hypothesis that it is not painful is "right," then it very much does matter as this is an exit many may legitimately choose. Moreover, no one of us is the arbiter of what constitutes "dignity." I'm not trying to argue with you, but I thought that on a pro-determinism site like sanctionedsuicide.com we would all respect others' prerogatives to make our own decisions and evaluate abstracts like value and dignity ourselves.

Best of luck with the method you determine is right for you. I know I'm not alone in both having surveyed publications on relative efficacy and risks of different methods and having placed high-powered guns at the top of my potential methods list. No disrespect meant.

Cheers.

Well, I'm a med student (a failed one) . I think to feel pain, one has to be conscious and the small interval(milliseconds) between impact and loss of consciousness might be excruciating but since it lasts only for an infinitesimally small amount of time, we have to consider that as well. Same is the case for gunshots to the head although I'm not sure which travels faster, the bullet or nerve impulses to the brain
My personal equation for pain(physical or emotional) as a function of time is
Total pain= instantaneous pain X time (integral)
In case of variable pain it's the area under the curve for a pain vs time graph.
I'm sorry if that sounded stupid.

LOL cheers, geez man. OK well you and Guld gamble with your dignity. While I take nembutal a tried a true method that I KNOW isn't going to be painful. Can you show me a study on how peaceful it is to get shot in the head? If not then I believe your gambling with your dignity.

People care a whole lot about the train driver's trauma, but I wonder how much the driver or anyone else cares for the suicidal person. I mean, people always blame the person who commits suicide for traumatizing others, but how many of those people actually care about the suicidal person's suffering? And how many would be in favor of legalizing assisted suicide or Nembutal so the suicidal person doesn't have to traumatize train drivers in the first place?

Sanctionedsuicide.com + LOL... Really? Even here, huh? As for seeking a study on "how peaceful it is to get shot in the head," that's being disingenuous. And as for what you believe about the choices others make about our own lives, well, the irony of making these assertions on a pro-suicide website is dumbfounding. Anyway, peace to you.

 

[Mr. Hang Man]

Seems like a solid and effective method, go for it.

 

[Lautreamont]

i also chose this method but i am afraid of the wheel guards.. you cant be decaped then????

We all have to die some way or another, in the end who cares if it effects anyone nor the method of choice. In the end nothing truly matters anyways. Everything is futile and absolutely pointless. The only true thing that matters is the objective and it's completion. Let's say person b has no methods available to them besides
A) Jumping off a building B) Train C) Traffic D) Getting shot or another situation , any of these methods are fine so long as the objective has been completed. This world is a cruel, depressing, cespid of despair and false hope. There are no sunshine and rainbows, that is reality. If the world was such a great place, sites like this would not exist, this world get's more worse each and every day.
Instead of trying to tell someone how they should die, maybe your efforts would best be suited for finding out the reason why one would resort to such a thing in the first place. The way this world operates is not by curing the problem at the source, it is by "treating it" and sweeping it underneath the rug so to speak. The truth can be an ugly thing, however hiding from it and avoiding it is exactly the reason why this world is the way it is. Just like the fact that people glorify life and yet try to avoid the discussion of death at whatever cost.

I wouldn't do this for the sake of the train driver.
Don't go this route. Not nice. You will be leaving major trauma behind. Dear Lord, what if people were doing this all the time? Can you imagine the trauma the train drivers would have to endure? Would you want that? Just thinking about this whole topic is making me sick because ultimately we are gonna leave trauma behind. Regardless of how little we value our lives, there is always a butterfly effect. Domino effect. Who knows? Someone out there may care just a little more than an iota about us. guh. I am feeling really sick now and reconsidering everything. Maybe I should stick around, suffer and fail to thrive void of joy and desolate of Hope.

 

[Cookiedough8956]

Im in a city and i thought about getting hit by a train. I mean im pretty sure it will be quick.
But gory and the train driver is gonna be traumatized; and prob a bunch of other ppl too

No thanks.

Gonna stick with something else.

whattt

 

[Mircea]

Sounds painful and gruesome to me, but if it's a fast train and it hits you in the right position it should definitely work. Someone in my life chose this method... for them it's the one that ended up succeeding. I'll be taking the calm open waters myself.

 

[sunny.sativa]

Hi, I see you've had a lot of feedback and opinionated responses to this, and I don't mean to add more numbers to the pointless answer category, but I guess I'll tell you how I feel about this.

We hate the "S-word" here. I get that. And I'm not talking about that word, we use that one all the time. I mean "selfish". Yeah, I said it. I don't like using it, because being selfish is also telling someone their ideas are silly or that they should get over it. So I'm sorry if I'm being hypocritical in that sense.

But these folks are right. This would FUCK someone up to see. You and I could probably handle seeing a decapitated human, splattered in their own guts, strewn across train tracks. But a "normal" person? Dude. Think about that. You can't do that to people. Do you want them to end up like us? I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.

Please continue thinking about your decisions. If you must take your life, at least live a little before you die. Take yourself out for a drink and some sushi, pick up a new hobby. That takes energy. I know, some of us don't have that shit to spare. While you're doing all this, though, maybe you can think of a method that would work better for you, and not destroy someone's sanity.

I do have to say though, you have some pretty huge balls to seriously consider this method. I have ideas on how I'd go about doing this, but I just couldn't go through with it.

Try to enjoy today. Even if it's just today and you never ever enjoy another day again, at least you had today. Much love, my friend. Take care. <3

i give a shit about others.. i want to die
