Help Lowest injury risk methods

Really need advice

My top priority is minimizing long-term consequences if I do fail an attempt. Success rate and short-term harm really isn't relevant to me so long as the method is viable and "safe." With that in mind, what method has the lowest risk of long-term injury (especially, but not limited to, brain damage)? Obviously suicide is dangerous and there's always going to be a good amount of risk when attempting. I know there isn't going to be a completely safe method or even a relatively safe one. I'm just looking for the method with the least possibility of long-term damage.

I assume SN? I don't really know much about it, but it's a very popular "peaceful" method on the forum.

Apparently SN has low reported risks. Not sure though.

Another one, but extremely unlikely to happen, is commotio cordis. Risks of long-term damage are somewhat low. I've been trying to replicate it but it requires good luck. I don't recommend it and I don't there has been a single case of ctb with this.

You can find some information in this table:
https://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods/
It lists methods and has a column of lethality that may be the closest to the definition of safety.
Though it doesn't include SN and Inert gas +Exit bag methods that are probably the safest methods.
For those methods you can see in the PPH book. There is a table for each method and SN and Inert gas get 5/5 for safety.

Do you have any resources on commotio cordis? I actually haven't heard of it before.
