Help Is this a method?

[SoonToBeSoil]

What if I just like. Drove really really fast into a wall or big tree or something. I imagine I'd go onto a long, empty road at night and try to hit something head on as fast as I could.

I had a friend that died this way (into a tree, I think). It was mentioned at the funeral that the last song they played on their Spotify was "We'll meet again, some sunny day." It was told that it was an accident. I really think it was a suicide. I've never heard anyone else suggest that, though.

My car is a piece of shit. It won't protect me if I crash. Should I try this? Anyone know anything about this method?
Biggest risk would be surviving and being permanently disabled, though. Or surviving, but dying slowly in the fire (I'd take that over the former to be clear).
Maybe if I find a perfect location to speed up real fast and crash into a solid wall, like an embankment wall, I could nearly guarantee an instant death. Can't find any research on this though.

it is a method, but i don't think it's common enough for us to really extrapolate a probability of it working.. i'd be really scared..

I just googled "What kind of car accident is impossible to survive" and it came up with a bunch of links to research regarding that topic.

Google AI answered this:

Car accidents become virtually impossible to survive when the force of impact exceeds the threshold of human biomechanical tolerance. In physics terms, this happens when kinetic energy surpasses the body's ability to absorb it, or when devastating trauma occurs to vital organs. [1, 2, 3]
The scenarios below represent impacts where survival is highly improbable:

• Unrestrained High-Speed Ejections: When occupants are thrown from a rolling vehicle, they are subjected to unchecked impacts with the ground or other objects. These crashes carry an exceptionally high fatality rate. [1]
• Massive Head-On Collisions: Direct frontal impacts at combined speeds exceeding 100 to 120 km/h (about 60 to 75 mph) release more kinetic energy than modern vehicle crumple zones are engineered to absorb. [1, 2]
• T-Bone (Side) Crashes at High Speeds: Because vehicle doors have very little space to absorb impact energy, a direct broadside collision with a heavy object at highway speeds frequently results in catastrophic injuries. [1]
• Severe Vehicle Submersions: Occupants surviving the initial crash can become trapped by water pressure and structural damage, leading to death by drowning. [1]
• Underride Crashes: Collisions where a smaller vehicle slides underneath a semi-truck often result in the top of the car being sheared off, causing fatal blunt force trauma. [1]

To understand why these forces are unsurvivable, it helps to examine how the body reacts during a collision: [1]

• The Three Impacts: A crash involves the vehicle hitting an object, the occupant hitting the vehicle's interior, and the internal organs hitting the skeletal structure. The third impact is often what causes fatal internal bleeding. [1]
• Deceleration Limits: Even if the car's frame holds up, the rapid deceleration of the human body causes massive tearing of the aorta (the body's main artery) or fatal traumatic brain injuries. [1]
• Crash Testing: Vehicles are only legally tested to provide occupant protection up to speeds of roughly 60 to 70 km/h. [1]

If you hate AI just ignore my post.

Yeah... maybe I could see if there is a study done on the relation of fatality of car accidents and their speed?

Sometimes when driving at night on long roads I start going 60,70, maybe 80 MPH, before slowing down. I'd want to be more certain of something working before attempting it for real

I do hate AI and I would have never asked it this. But I am happy to look at these sources now! Thank you. So it is possible

but wouldn't that include a lot of car-on-car crashes? i don't know.. i'm looking at it now and it seems like all the sources for vehicular suicide i can find also include murder-suicide, and i'm assuming you don't want to kill anybody other than yourself. also drunk driving and speeding are also included? for some reason? because modern psychiatry can't choose a still target??

also that AI mainly cited quora lmao

I've thought about this too. I would say it sounds pretty reliable but you'll want to go faster than just 70. If I used this method I'd go around 90-100 on a stretch of backroads and go down off a cliff or something

Problem with this is that if you fail, you'll have brain damage in spades

I've thought about doing this myself but knowing my luck I'd eject from the vehicle but suffer a long lingering painful death from having my bones being twisted mangled and broken, or at worst survive somehow and be paralyzed.
