Is jumping scary?

[LifeSucks39]

What do you think on jumping method?

Yes, it is definitely terrifying to the average person, especially if you're scared of heights(I am). If you jump from high enough up, you should die. But a few of the common fears are:

1. Fear of standing on the edge, looking down at the ground, seeing your potential death.

2. Fear of regret, after you jump.

3. Fear of falling all the way down, especially head-first.


I know I'd be terrified to no end to jump, especially if it failed somehow. But if you jump head first from high enough up, it should work. It all depends on your mindset, the method that would be best for you.

I can't get over the idea that it's would be painful, even if instant.

If you see pictures of failed jumps, you won't want to. The legs look pretty bad. It's one of the more gory methods.

The fright is paralyzing. You literally have to face every survival instinct coded within your mind. It was too much for me.

Ive heard that the way to bypass it is through inducing unconciousness, like with pills or whatnot, then using a secondary method like a backpack with heavy weights, to drag you over once youre out. Youd think it wouldnt be smart since a limp unconcious body is hurt less than a rigid fully aware one, but if the height is high enough you go unconcious anyways after youve gone so far.

I've gone out to a jumping location a couple of times, both to test it out and with the idea of actually following through with it. Obviously I was never able to, it takes a lot more to beat the survival instinct when jumping as opposed to other activities that you might see a way out from.

Why did those people fail? Did they not jump from high enough?
