Help How to tell if a jump is high enough?

[RestlessRoseBride]

im kinda limited on ctb options so i decided to go with jumping. I'm not good with numbers or measurements on anything tbh so is there a way to see if the selected place will be high enough?

I'm not sure, but I heard a jump should be at least 18 feet (6 meters) for you to get seriously injured or have a chance of dying. That's what I was told when I was younger so I could stay safe, but I'm not sure how reliable that is. It also depends on how fast you fall, what body part you land on, and the material you're falling on. I obviously wouldn't recommend this method though since there's a possibility you'll be alive and in pain for minutes after the fall.

idk but i'd aim for the highest building possible, like the highest building of my country or something, so that i wouldn't be able to fail. but it would be hard to get to the top of these buildings

Thanks, pain isn't too much of a worry for me though so long as the death is quick. it's probably best i look into other possible methods then just in case.

This study says the human body's maximum threshold is 24m:

When landing on the head, this amount will be more than enough though. Personally i'd say 15-20m is enough.

I think 5 times your height is fatal, I googled it a long time ago

I also suggest you do it in a location like a forest so no one stops you and right as you're about to jump, call the emergency line and tell them where to pick up your body and to make sure you're not marked as missing when your neighbors or friends and family (if you have any, but the lack of both is a reason most people CTB anyway) realize you're gone after some time. If you message people close to you to let them know you'll be dead instead, calling the emergency line may not be necessary unless you still want your body retrieved. (I personally wouldn't since I'd rather let the elements take me because I've heard too many stories about people having their organs taken illegally or being assaulted after death.)

It really depends more on HOW you'll fall. You can jump from 20 meters high and land on your legs and become a vegetable. You can fall from 5 meters and hit your head and instantly die.

Generally tho, jumping from as high as possible will obviously give more chances of not surviving the fall. So just like most recommended.

the extra info for the emergency line is helpful as well, thank you so much
