Has anyone here survived jumping?

[SHThrowAway213]

I rerember a few months ago reading on here that someone survived jumping and just wanted to know the height and extent of Injuries.
I'm planning to jump off a 80 foot cliff but I'm expecting it won't kill me.

So why do it ?

So why do it ?

I'm desperate enough that it's worth a shot

100 meters is the minimum height to jump from, otherwise you're just asking for a bad time.

I have known 2 people who died falling from 16 stories onto concrete. One landed on her stomach, the other his head. Both died instantly. I am assuming, and this really is an assumption, that the height between ceiling and floor for each unit to measure about 1'6", and the ceilings in the apartments were 10' high which would therefore be a height of: 11'6"x16=185.6'. Might want to check out the height requirements...

Hey Lynn is that about 975'? Thank you.

Me
But my jump was pretty tame - off a 15 meter bridge into water.
It wasnt the fall that would off done me in, it was the drowning. I was so disoriented I sunk. Wouldnt help that when my back nsapped I couldnt really thread in the water.
I dislocated the soft part of two of my lower vertebrae, got pneumonia from cold water entering my lungs and the parts of my body that took on the impact (legs and left side) were bruised heavily. Couldnt walk for like a week, experienced partial paralysis at first - I woke up from sleep not able to feel my legs, I would cry and hit them with my fists but somehow the feeling returned after 5 or more minutes of being awake. I was frying up in fevers, sweating through bedsheets with my legs numb. As I started to do things around myself more I noticed my hands were affected too and I could hardly lift a 1 liter water bottle at first. When I made my first steps it looked like a seizure in my legs everytime they hit the ground. Step - shake shake shake - step - shake shake shake. Other patients thought Im on some really hard drugs. For two weeks, I could only eat baby food and lemonade cause whenever I tried anything else my chest hurt so bad. When I first woke up in icu I was choking with the fluid in my airway, it was terrible, like having my throat glued shut by water and mucus. It took months before I could comfortably walk long distances and even then sometimes after moving around a bit I felt really bad back pain.Legs suddenly shutting down midwalk which led to me tumbling to the ground. Dont get me started on back pain. Made me moan and squirm all over the place. Painkillers all the way. I also have a permanent limp in my right leg because thats the leg that was stretched behind me as I fell. Not to mention the most profound damage brought on by my stupidity - the ptsd I developed in relation to water that causes me to go batshit with panic whenever Im submerged in cold water, drink cold water etc. Ive got it under control now but in the past I would avoid showers for weeks and only drink liquids that I boiled in a kettle beforehand or else I would get hysterical.

 

[SHThrowAway213]

Well that sounds painful

 

[Deardaddy]

Jumping is too much stress for me . Where to get n is the main objective for me. Else I don't forser

How did you survived this?

 

[bluesky1972-2019]

They say its not the falling that kills you, its the stopping! The rapid/immediate deceleration causes the internal organs serious damage....near mind the head injuries etc..... That's why Beachy Head is a popular place. Falling from the best part of 500ft onto rocks is impossible to survive.

 

[BridgeJumper]

How did you survived this?

Luck + being pulled out asap

Yeah 15 meter really isn't that high. Not even cliff diving height

40 feet isn't high at all, not surprising she survived

 

[SHThrowAway213]

I'm guessing I should wait until I can get to the 200 foot cliff, just wanted to see if the 80 foot cliff was a viable option if I couldn't

My worst nightmare.
Jumping is one of my main options.

 

[ExitTheDay]

I would only do it if there were a bunch of jagged rocks below, if there was sand, dirt, concrete, etc I wouldn't want to suffer by just breaking half the bones in my body... but I really suppose its how you land of course

 

[Lush_nova]

There,'s. A Bridge not far from me, the local headlines this morning were some dude jumped yesterday morning and didn't survive, it's a 34 metre drop to water.

 

[SHThrowAway213]

I know that people have jumped off the 80 foot cliff and died but it feels like there's too many variables

 

[bluesky1972-2019]

They say falling doesn't kill you, it's the stopping. When your body accelerates and then suddenly stops the internal organs carry on moving. They can rip and rupture causing internal injuries, regardless of the external ones. That's why people die in car crashes, even wearing seat belts etc. And they weren't falling at all! The height of the drop needs to be high enough to be travelling fast and then suddenly stopping.
The place I was looking at, I calculated I'd hit the ground at over 100mph to a sudden stop. No way would you survive that.

 

[SHThrowAway213]

Well I know the place I'm looking at, I would hit the ground in 2 seconds.
I think I would only fall at a speed of 40mph though

 

[DyingWitsie]

So why do it ?

I failed so many overdoses but i can always try again with jumping there is no room for failure unless you trying to be a vegetable..

 

[Amz_Falls]

I jumped 25m off a bridge onto a motorway (the road was fully closed when I jumped). Got airlifted to hospital and spent 15 days on life support. Still in hospital 5 months later! Happy to share if anyone's interested. Sharing seems to help me process it.

Above 100 meters should be always deadly, well in more than 99,99% of cases.

 

[scorpiooo2]

This doesn't sound like a very good idea in my opinion.

You could do permanent damage and that would cause even more physical suffering to go along with whatever awful emotional suffering that you're going through. You could risk paralysis which is my biggest fear.

If I was going to jump I'd do it from a lot higher.

 

[Alonelylife]

What about jumping backwards? that's the only way i think i could do it. not looking.
