70 meters into water... is it painless?

70 meters into water... is it painless?

I'd look up the detail on one of the megathreads, but this does sound like it will be painful with a low mortality rate

 

[Alchemist]

Jumping is painless, hitting the water, now that will hurt. Not sure if it's hight enough, but there's a point where hitting water is no different than concrete.

I don't see how all your bones being shattered and your internal organs bursting from the impact would not be painful...

I had a 60mph motorbike crash when a car pulled out on me, my bike was fused into the side of the car and i flew over it landing on my head on the other side , it was only painful 3 days later when i woke up , so no it wont be painful unless you wake up lol

 

[ExitTheDay]

I would rather jump into a jagged canyon, you have an extreme risk of failure jumping in water and that's by breaking every single bone in your body then drowning, not a fun way to go

Perhaps the lesson to be learned here is, make sure you land on your head, first.

Sunshine Skyway Bridge south of Tampa in Florida is a great jumper bridge, the only one east of California, actually. Jump off the bridge at the highest point of the span and you'll most likely die. Go head first and you will for sure, and you will not feel pain. There is a website that keeps track of the jumpers. http://www.skywaybridge.com/

No guarantees. Water jumpers often survive the jump with massive body trauma and then drown because they can't swim with smashed bones. They may not feel actual "pain" due to shock trauma and it's probably over quick, but not instant.

From Dream With The Fishes:
"They say from this height, hitting water is like hitting concrete. Your thigh bones shoot up into your ribcage, it's a bad way to go. Hey I know what you need. Pills. I got a whole bottle of pills at home, you can have them."
(then he gives the guy vitamins, great movie)

I think you would die very quickly if it was onto rock or concrete. And the initial impact your body would be in shock, so I doubt you'd feel anything.
That's my thinking as the place I looked at was about 500ft onto rocks below.

70 meters into water, there's still a chance of survival. 5% of jumpers survived the Golden Gate Bridge. If I jump it's going to be from the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in NM - 600', no suicide nets, zero chance of survival.

 

[Swoods]

I was thinking of going off the New River Gorge bridge in WVA. Surely that would be painless.

IMHO, dramatic impact death like jumping, drowning, guns, hanging, etc...all are not INSTANT death. About time we hear about them, it's done, dead.
But from the second of impact to actual death can sometimes take minimal few minutes to hours, even days..
Yes during those times, YOU are SUFFERING..very thing that you wanted to avoid,
This is why more I research, inert gas is the ONLY option for me.

And add the fact that most of these options are done with little to no planning, impulsive, etc..which adds to failures and more suffering.

 

[Rez_MbChB]

please dont jump, choose another way... Well I mean do what you want but if you've ever been skydiving you know you'll regret it as soon as you enter freefall and will die regretting it. Not saying you will not be suicidal just the excitement and intensity of falling will cause the SI to be wayyy to strong. Just myy opinion. Also you'll probably just die by drowing because your bones will shatter.

Depends on how you land.

You are correct. Yes, even the guillotine, a popular tool used during the French revolution that cuts your head off, as efficiently as possible, doesn't kill you instantly.

For people who don't feel like reading the article above. It mentions that a Dr. Ron Wright believes you are alive for 13 seconds after your head gets cut off by a guillotine... That doesn't sound like much but it might feel like an eternity if you are in agonizing pain... Now imagine CTBing in a way that lets your brain stay alive for 5 minutes or longer after your body has been mutilated almost everywhere... I've seen such things happen... Not with my own eyes so don't worry. But from watching videos from this sub reddit that used to exist before too many people became butthurt by it's existence and had it shut down.

Damnit. Crossing guillotine off the list.

Yeah, I had to cross that off my list along with a flintlock pistol and a crossbow.

I get this feeling lol lol lol lol

 

[riverstyx]

Jumping takes balls to go through with it, and I'm not convinced death is either pleasant or instantaneous.

 

[BridgeJumper]

I jumped off a 15 meter bridge. Thats not anywhere near 70 meters, but I recall it wasnt immediately painful, maybe because of the adrenaline. When I woke up in intensive care the next day though, it hurt like I bitch. I squrimed and moaned in the hospital bed while being hooked to machines.

Just outside Taos.

 

[barelyalive]

Just outside Taos.

Im gonna go check it out. Googled it and it sounds perfect.

 

[inconsequential]

Jumping is. I can only assume landing & surviving, even for a few seconds, would be agonizing beyond imagination.

 

[alizee]

Depending on how high you may pass out before hitting the ground.

 

[Mljonzy]

I wouldn't recommend jumping into water even at that height because if your still alive when your in the water you would probably drown but if your ok with drowning then it's not a problem. For instant painless death it has to be concrete from a reliable height because if it's not high enough then you would probable die from internal injuries or cripple yourself.

 

[Suicideisnirvana]

I think jumping is one of the best suicide methods there is.

You just have to find a height that is lethal in itself. "Make sure you land on your head" is one of the stupidest advices i've ever heard, this isn't Tomb Raider 2, you don't have the control of Russian olympian gymnast, especially with the stress and panic. So you'd have to find a spot high enough to be lethal however you land.

I think jumping is one of the best suicide methods there is.

You just have to find a height that is lethal in itself. "Make sure you hand on your head" is one of the stupidest advices i've ever heard, this isn't Tomb Raider 2, you don't have the control of Russian olympian gymnast, especially with the stress and panic. So you'd have to find a spot high enough to be lethal however you land.

I agree, I don't think there would be any way to control how you land. Maybe if you are a pro diver, but even then at that height wind and other variables would take effect.
