Story Possibly the worst method I’ve ever kinda tried

[LastAcrobat]

I used to work at this amusement park/circuit thingy (kinda like a traveling carnival but without the traveling part? It was weird). I was in charge of running this really shitty old roller coaster and god damn I loathed that job. I got paid less than minimum wage, wasn't aloud to use the bathroom, and was stuck outside in very hot and humid weather with no relief for up to 12 hours a day. I didn't really exist anywhere else but that job at the time so, CTB then would likely have to be… at that job.

Hence comes the worst attempt possibly in human history. People throw themselves in front of cars and trains all the time, but what about a roller coaster? I did the math (I'm that much of a fucking nerd) and yes, it would kill me, and this piece of shit machine that had been around since the damn Proterozoic Eon has little to no safety features, so there would be nothing to stop it, except me.

So, I did what I almost did accidentally before. Sent it off then "collapsed from heat stroke" onto the tracks. Then, I came to the realization. This is a kiddy coaster. Like yeah, I wanted to be out of this life, but did I want to traumatize a whole elementary field trip? I decided that, nah, I didn't wanna be that fucked up, so pulled myself up from the tracks just in time for the coaster to completely miss the station and get sent around a second time as the breaks are fully manual (no electrics at all, if you don't pull hard enough it won't stop).

Yes there is no emergency stop present either thank you for not asking.

Anyways this almost happens against accidentally when I needed a refill of water and the manager brought me back fucking iced tea so I actually did pass out one time.

God bless America?

Now what did we learn from this lesson?
Man idfk that's why I'm asking you.

Yeah, traumatizing other people is generally why I don't like methods that involve others vehicles (cars, trucks, trains, someone threw themselves into a god damn jet engine near where I lived)

We are all suffering and i respect each and everyone that whats to ctb. But i believe that we shouldn't traumatize other people when doing it. Its not fair to them. We dont have to bring them into our world.

I struggle with this ALL the time, because I constantly have OCD thoughts about just stepping into ongoing traffic or trains or subways….but it also seems really cruel.

Honestly struggle too with the idea of attempting at home or in a public space because someone will have to find the body.
