Man Jumped 130ft (40m) into water and survived

[Jumper Geo]

I know bridge jumping is a popular way to CTB so I suppose in many cases you will drown the fall won't kill you.

Ex-paratrooper attempts record jump from helicopter without parachute

John Bream jumped out of a helicopter at 130ft and hit the water in The Solent at about 80mph.

Wow, that was really high.

A guy survived from jumping from the Golden bridge in San Fran, he survived and now he's making lots of money because of that. It's sad when someone tries to cash in on depression. I lost all respect I had from him since he went on oh pay me to watch my real life documentary.

 

[fearmenot]

Wow that's crazy, I guess ultimately if it's not your time then it's not your time. Life is cruel

Maybe he was handed a gift in a sense. He has a way to earn money. He has something to do now besides being depressed. He took a lemon (surviving) and made lemonade.

I thought you need 100 m to solid hard ground so why is it a surprise? Even then I wouldn't take any risks. Jumping and shooting too risky to survive

That's what stresses me out the most. The risk of failure, that's mostly why I am here

 

[ThrownAwayTom]

I'd definitely never opt for a 40m drop in to water instead of a 40m drop on to concrete. As hard as the surface of the water can be at that speed, nobody bounces off water.

Jumping is unreliable people have fell 20ft (6.96m) and died and people have fallen 1000 feet (304m) and survived, both links below.

Couple fall 20ft through construction hoardings and both die

An off-duty police constable and his TV engineer partner were killed when they plunged 20ft into a construction site after hoardings gave way.

[Blurred_Reality]

Wow, imagine hitting the water at 80mph.

 

[BridgeJumper]

Thank God my 40 meter bridge is over concrete .__.

 

[Ghost2211]

Poor guy. That must be really painful to survive. That's why jumping is never an option for me. It's too scary

Yeah 40m is nothing into water that's like professional high diver stuff.

The bridge in my city is 48m and I knew it wouldn't kill me so I didn't jump.

I was once standing over a canyon and asked him how high it was. He said 60m. If it had been 100, I would have walked a little way away and jumped there and then.

This one breaks that record he got out of the water with no trouble.

Wow, my biggest jump was 10m into waters :-D
(not for a suicide attempt)

That's why I would never consider jumping: Even at higher heights and on conrete - you never know how long your body and most importantly brain, will survive after the impact and how long you might suffer even if death would be sure after some while.

I watch that documentary on YouTube "the bridge" crazy how he survived, but I agree to then go on to make money and in the interview it seemed to me that he was making out that if others who jumped had survived then their lives would be like his is now, which isn't the case in some, my life is worse now then my last suicide attempt.

 

[lostangel]

They recommend 250ft at least. As anything below is likely to not work.

 

[Lordsudbury]

My friend jumped to his death in portugal (off a mall, I think?) . It's awful I don't know how he did it. Didn't know he was facing any demons at all. RIP

 

[feast or famine]

Jumping off a bridge into water is too unreliable. I did this twice, with the last time being a 100 foot drop. I just ended up with numerous fractures, a TBI, among other injuries. I was in the hospital and then psych for a month.

I would not recommend. It was too impulsive in hindsight. I'm lucky I wasn't paralyzed after surviving. You would think that I would've learned after the first time, but shit happens.

Jumping onto solid ground is a better option if you have to choose between the two.

 

[Jumper Geo]

This is the only guarenteed way to CTB jumping into water, mind you if you jump anywhere else in the park you will end up a tasty snack.

haha never water,never...
jump on 14 stories(small stories)...enought if the floor is grass or soft....?read my topic defenestration

its very hard to dive on head...how technique do?make a dish?on back?
and i am a fan of videos of "mustang wanted" and" oleg cricket"...love it (parkour on building)...love the height.
want to finish on final jump

 

[Craig31ldn]

Depends how you fall. The how you land is a more important factor than the height when talking about above 20 meters. If you nose dive land, surviving is impossible, youll die from a broken neck. The problem is most suicidal people aren't professional divers.

This man could CTB whenever he wanted to with the stunts he performed but was killed in a motorcycle race.

[Defenestration]

afraid to dive on knees :-(( dramatical...

or linked hands on back...?

 

[raindrops]

what about 341ft onto rocks/very very shallow water, i wonder what chances would be then.
annnd i wonder if you fall back or forwards. i heard the only way to make sure you ctb is to basically destroy the brain, right

I think you would CTB from that height and onto a hard surface if the water is shallow people have descussed about jumping head first but it's not guarenteed as the wind and your balance may effect your landing.
