Discussion Jumpers

[Coffeehead]

any jumpers around and want to talk about the method and offer advice?
Planning to jump from a 12 story building soon (this week) after drinking a little bit..

 

[bridgegirl]

I don't know if I really have advice, but I'm here if you need to talk.

 

[maidens]

I'm upset the highest place I can jump off of is 3 stories... It's a nice way to go out but I might survive

Recommended minimum height is 160 feet and landing on a hard surface.
Yet there are cases of people ctb after jumping from 4 storey's and landing head first onto a hard surface.
I'm jumping at beachy head after a few strong drinks, and will blindfold myself before running towards the edge and becoming a flying human.

Jumper here. I plan on jumping from 16 stories. I plan on drinking a bit as well. My advice is no matter how sure you think you are you most likely will not go on your first attempt. It usually takes jumpers multiple visits to their jump spot before they actually jump. If they ever do. Some jumpers change methods after realizing how difficult it is. I wish you luck.

Not just might. That's only, what, thirty feet? But would be absolutely wonderful to achieve that broken leg you've always dreamed of.

I really appreciate how, the second a jumping thread is up, you and I both immediately flock to it. LOL Solidarity!

I plan to jump from a bridge. I want to bring some alcohol too and drink it, then sit and admire the view before doing it. I really hope there won't be many cars.

 

[Soylent]

Last time I tried I could not make it. I drove 500km to get there, fucking determined to jump and end the suffering but when I was there my instinct was very strong so I get back to my car. It was raining very hard and I was felling cold. I put the fan on full blast and fall asleep in the back seat in total shock. Just to be waking up by the police at 4am asking me wtf Ibwas doing her.

I'm no expert, but the consensus seems to be no lingering. If you stop to admire the view it most likely ain't happening. To each their own. I know I will have to make a bee line for it. No stopping to think about anything.

Wondering if there's techniques one can do to maximize chance of death… Like the way one jumps, or like… Would tying a plastic bag over one's head help ensure one's demise? Maybe one could jump, pass out from the impact, and then suffocate? Looking for anything like this people may have thought of

Well that's what the alcohol should be for, but maybe you're right...

100%. I went to attempt twice after having my life destroyed by someone. The first time i could look over the edge no problem, but when i climbed over the railing i was shitting myself. The second time i was hanging over the abyss like i was in titanic, and felt far more comfortable. If i was distraught enough, i feel i would have gone that day.
I think something often overlooked is hesitation. If you get to your location and look down, give yourself time to process the fear associated with what u want to do, it's going to become more and more difficult. There's a reason when you go bungee jumping they have you look forward not down, then give you a countdown to pressure you to go. Most places only give you 2-3 countdowns before they move onto the next person. Why? They know the longer you hesitate the less likely you will be able to jump.
Personally, i'll bring a couple baseball sized rocks. Drop them over to test the wind, then jump in the appropriate direction (260ft drop, small landing zone). That is if im able to do it of course.

Oh, that's helpful.

I've done a bunch of cliff jumping and the taller cliffs are difficult to leap from. People are told to take a running start because your legs can give out at the edge. There are videos online of people who try and jog over the edge but their legs go jelly on the last step and they tumble down the face of the cliff. A sprinting start if you have stuff to clear on the way down, or just a location you can just topple over or let go.

The other thing that happens is your brain goes full panic the closer you get to the edge. The emotional response is completely overwhelming. It floods out any rational thought. I could see a few attempts being helpful to get used to that, and alcohol would dampen the response to these emotions, but I can't image it would ever be easy to get over the edge. Need a strong conviction to jump because I wouldn't be surprised if the burst of emotions you feel while in the air would create a feeling of regret. It is a great feeling falling through the air.

Well that's what the alcohol should be for, but maybe you're right...

You can linger at the location but I think the issue is lingering on the decision to jump. Like if I'm up there just sitting and drinking that's fine, but the moment I get up to jump is the moment to make that jump.

 

[estadiare]

I am way too scared, so I am training to overcome my SI. Last week I barely had the guts to bend over to throw a stick, tonight I sat and stood on the edge without hesitation. Not sure if I'll be able to jump next week or if I need a session to get more comfortable with standing on the edge.

 

[_AllCatsAreGrey_]

My primary method that I daydream about is bridge jumping over water. When hitting water from a high distance you can get knocked out, break, bones, paralyze the diaphragm, etc. I see drowning as the backup plan.

I know this method isn't the most ideal, but my location is nostalgic and poetic as a place to end. That romanticizing pushes my mind to it.

 

[estadiare]

What jumping technique do you guys propose if the main aim is ease and not landing on the legs?

You almost want to dive in you want to land on your head. I see a lot of people Wanting to drink But majority of the people who have jumped under the influence have survived. I do not recommend Alcoholic beverages.

ran a "simulation". Dude starts spinning around and lands an his legs eventually lol. How realistic is this and as someone who has no diving experience, whats the easiest way to prevent this?

 

[Kusogaki]

Wow I've never seen anyone create a simulation for jumping! Well It depends on the location as well I recommend Looking into some divers and how they keep their body In that same position as they dive head first. I've also seen that you have been hesitating and scared to do it. You know when you want to go into a pool but it's just too cold so you just run and jump in so you get used to the cold. That's how I go about overcoming SI, just picture that you're jumping into a pool. @estadiare

If you can read this, I probably jumped, 120 ft bridge onto concrete. Posted a month ago

Yet there are cases of people ctb after jumping from 4 storey's and landing head first onto a hard surface.
I'm jumping at beachy head after a few strong drinks, and will blindfold myself before running towards the edge and becoming a flying human.

If you start putting blindfolds on and drinking I think you'll get yourself noticed by the Chaplaincy.
