Discussion Is jumping the easiest method?

[Deathforliberation]

I have the feeling that it's the most accessible for sure and doesnt require a lot of preperation if youve found a building with the appropriate height. But I'm scared that it might not be high enough and I just get injured very badly. I'm also terribly scared of doing it and I think that SI will be very high. How do you feel about jumping in general?

it sounds good at first glance, but i saw a statistic that only 47% of attempts to jump are actually fatal, lots of places try to counter act jumping by placing anti suicide barriers

After a certain height isn't it guaranteed?

I live in Spain and I can look out my window and see a hundred ways to die on the mountains that ring my town. Heat stroke would be easiest right now.

Notwithstanding this, I've selected a trail in the Taurus Mountains in Turkiye that is an easy approach to a gorge with a +100ft drop and no guardrail. Having a "stupid selfie" moment is my plan. Falling backwards head down. There will be no white knuckling or vertigo, just a wahoo off the edge. It's remote enough that nobody will be close enough to know what's happened.

T minus 16 months more or less, depending on what kind of information arrives in the next eight weeks.

best i have near me is pedestrian bridge above a freeway. Been there a couple times but don't have it in me to curse however many drivers would be impacted by my jump

no method is really "guaranteed" as theres always stuff that can go wrong, people have survived jumping from the golden gate bridge, but after a certain height its more than likely

I understand that landing head first is the most effective method for any reasonable height. Which is why I plan on falling backwards. Diving was never my forte.

Wish jumping was easy but 3rd worlds have low raised building or apartment mostly
.....sigh

There are plenty of skyscrapers to jump off of but I'm too scared to try. I'd rather do sodium nitrite because its a one and done deal. You take it, you know you're not coming back from it.

I've tried 6 times and SI has me in that same chokehold. Rationally, I know I need to ctb, as my already-awful life is getting worse, but when I get to the bridge, I just choke every time.

 

[never mind me]

The problem is access to somewhere high enough. With the risk of surviving with serious injuries I wouldn't jump from many places that others might try. The only ok place I know that is easy to access is a rock with several hundred meters drop that is in another country, so not super easy to get to from my home.
In theory there are also many places on climbing routes in the high mountains, but I wouldn't want to climb up until there free solo, because I might fall earlier where it doesn't kill me. And you can't really do this to anyone, half climb a climbing route and leaving them somewhere by themselves where their only way out after me jumping would be to call rescue and hope that it arrives before anything can happen to them.
