Method Jumping

[decayofangels]

I know a lot of people on the site usually recommend SN however I want to ctb through jumping. I know there isn't a full guarantee for death, however what will help bring up the chances of dying? Is there any extra steps or things I have to do before?

It's a pretty simple method, you're essentially just turning potential energy into kinetic energy by jumping from a height and concentrating that energy on your body, allowing it to damage you (hopefully fatally). Understanding that mechanism, obviously the higher the jump, the more energy and the more likely you are to perish. I'm sure there are statistics on the correlation between height and survival rates, I would recommend looking into that. I seem to remember reading that anything over 12 feet is relatively reliable, but don't quote me on that.

Only other thing I could even possibly think of is taking a bunch of aspirin 40-60 minutes prior to jumping, making it harder for your body to form blood clots and stop bleeding. I feel like I wouldn't even want this, though. Only time this would make a difference is if the impact didn't instantly kill you, in which case you would likely be in such pain you would just want it to stop and I feel like you wouldn't even care about CTB anymore out of pure instinct.

Otherwise maybe something for anxiety/worry? Some xanax or a few shots maybe?

I'll definitely look further into survival rates for height, and ill probably take something for anxiety too, thank you for the reply with info on aspirin.

jumping is my dream method (just haven't found a place high enough that's nearby) and i plan to get wicked fucking drunk and high so i lose that survival instinct

I've seen a post recently on here about MDMA. It said something about losing all survival instincts at a specific dosage. Not sure if alcohol is better but it's cool to know that you can get rid of that fear of death.

i think anything that alters your consciousness has the potential to do that

A number I remember seeing is 90% of 5 stories jumps are lethal from one of the resource threads, with percentage climbing steadily as you rise.
However, I do not remember if that's instant or not, or whether this is only people who landed on hard e.g. concrete ground or all individuals, and I may be wrong.

I've thought of jumping but like others, I've not ready access to a convenient diving point.
But in my reflexions the idea is to land on the head and break the neck to expediate ctb. To do this, I would avoid a strong rotational launch, and instead try to curl into a fetus position mid flight, gently angle down, then uncoil legs up/torso down and keep the body elongated to stabilize rotation and try and do it. But I've not been a gymnast for a very long time, so it's entirely possible it would fail. Others might try to dive like a swimmer but retract arms if you're high enough.

150 feet onto concrete, 250 into water. Some survive.

Head first

Thank you for exact measurements, I'll keep those numbers in mind.

What needs to be considered and what needs to be done beforehand?

It is important to have sufficient height to eliminate the chances of survival. I think that would be the worst-case scenario if you survive. It's best to take a running jump, because hardly anyone dares to do that from a standing position.



Also think about what scenarios might await you once you have left your physical body. Unfortunately, only your body can die, not your spirit. I think you want to prevent yourself from ending up here and the "crap" repeating itself. Somehow you ended up in this physical reality and re-entry should be avoided.



Good luck.

If you land on your feet or something is there to cushion your fall (trees, cars) you have a chance of not dying but being very badly damaged instead. The ideal jump would require you to land on your head or otherwise in a way that would concentrate the initial impact near the area of your neck/head, and the sturdier the surface, the better.
I'm no expert by no means - this is just what I've picked up from my own slightly-not-surface-level research.

If I were to jump I'd probably jump from the top of a skyscraper onto a hard surface. I'd hate to be conscious with broken bones and mangled organs even if it was just a few seconds. But even if it's instant death there's still a few seconds spent falling and that must be terrifying. There's also a risk of hitting and killing someone.

Yeah, I need to remember to factor in people below, thank you for adding that part.

Wear a weight around your neck or a weighted vest to make sure you fall head first. Land on a hard (concrete or asphalt) surface that is level.

I didn't even consider a weight, that's a good idea.

I just want to correct my last comment - I meant to say 12 stories not 12 feet, but someone else has said 90% don't survive from 5 stories so I was probably wrong.

I partially assumed you meant 12 stories, I didn't even process that you said 12 feet, you're all good.

I'm glad. 12 feet could probably kill someone if you landed directly on your head but I doubt it would be reliable lol. When committing suicide I think most people don't want to gamble with odds, and I would personally feel that the odds with 12 feet probably aren't high enough.

Where I live, paramedics will take spinal injury precautions for a fall from any height over 3 meters (~10 feet). Considering 12 feet is longer than that, this is still obviously a considerable fall. But in most cases I sort of double it would be a fatality, especially an instant or desirable one for CTB.

it's the same for me too. if i wanted to jump from a tall building i'd have to go down to the city when i can't even drive, which is a pain. i know a specific building with no railing or guards so it'd be easy to jump off it, but i'd probably get too scared and end up going home anyway. it seems like a reliable method if you find a tall enough building nearby, though.
