Method Potential Method - Jumping Off Beachy Head In East Sussex, England

[RedPanda]

Beachy Head is located in East Sussex, England and is a very popular spot for suicide. Its a 531 feet drop which is crazy high and you land directly onto the most unforgiving surface which is rocks. Death at this height i'm almost 100% certain is guaranteed.

My question is, for those that attempt to jump, how do you even build up the courage to take a leap of faith like this? Maybe some of you were right on the edge, about to do it but stopped. I wonder what really pushes someone to make the leap of faith, i think that's the hardest part about completing this and why jumping isn't a number one choice...it's scary, very scary.

I have no fear of heights but just reading (531 feet) is incredibly high and makes me super anxious.

Also, since hundreds have jumped here, surely there must be some type of barrier or fence installed? If i was ever going to jump i would purchase a plane ticket just to visit this spot. It would be my final resting place.

no, the area is too important/scenic to mar it

There are a lot of different threads on this already, might search them if you have a moment.

As far as I know there is only a low fence that can be stepped over and nothing to stop someone from going off unless they hesitate or meander around for a while beforehand.

Yes it's scary. The best recommendations I've seen are to wait for a foggy day or night and go then, so it'll just be a walk into the darkness. And I'd be sure to know the area first by scouting it out beforehand on a clear and sunny day.

Death is pretty much guaranteed so not much to worry about, and I doubt you'd survive long enough to feel any real pain. Just the fear of dying is what affects most people I think.

Good luck and I hope you find peace regardless.

Gotta watch out for the Christian people who do patrols around there! Those annoying Ratbags try and talk to you about Gods love when you're on the edge and if you do back up they've already called the police and you get carted off...

Hmmmm, thanks for the heads up, i'll probably go during the day to scout the place and look for a good spot and then return at night.

Make sure you're careful, they're like hawks! The taxi drivers and pubs have panic buttons (from what I've read so I dunno how true it is but I'd imagine they probably do have something along those lines) incase they think anyone is there for that reason! If you're gunna go to a pub there just make sure you're chatty with the staff lol :)

That sounds a bit like a dude that used to live across the road from The Gap, a popular suicide spot in Sydney. Whenever he'd see someone that was ready to ctb, he'd intervene by asking if they wanted a cup of tea and a chat. As far as I can tell, it wasn't a religious thing. Just some old guy who wanted to help. Apparently a lot of potential jumpers just needed a vent and a cuppa to be put off.

He was doing this right up until he was in his 90s.
