Say you were to jump off a tall building. what are your thoughts on the way down?

[Sickofit]

Mine would be: "Thank god i am out of my seemingly everlasting hardship." But i feel a "Have i made a bad decision." Will cross my mind.

A guy from back in school days years ago, I think he had a problem with sleep walking. They were on a sport trip over in UK and he slept walked out the window somehow 2 or 3 storeys up in their hotel and he passed.

Wow. Thats real sad. Poor guy.

Yea he was a real good happy guy. Im sure someone explained to me it was worse, because he was asleep his body was fully relaxed when he hit the ground still asleep. So for that reason it was worse, than being all tensed up as you normally would.

"Fuck"

Haven't ruled out jumping. Id probably be too much in shock to have the capacity to think in words. I'd imagine feeling like a terrified puppy or something on the way down.

Landing on my feet :(

Not sure if that could take the impact but maybe.

A forum member who unsuccessfully jumped (it was too low) report the last thought as "oh fuck", before waking up in the sidewalk.

 

[Ghab]

I hope I would feel happy but I see myself thinking "Wow this might actually be painful, what've i done"

I have no idea really but I thought it was the other way around. That's why so many drunks survive motor vehicle accidents, there bodies are all relaxed and not tensed up.

'Hey look out bro, I don't want to fall on you' - Threads yelling intensifies as he gets closer and closer to the ground

 

[IchIsGone]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No on serious note, I haven't really thought about it. I probably say fuck a lot because I'm scared of height, as I was approaching, I'd like to think that I'd say to myself "this is it then, my time has come" and die.

Some studies indicate it's possible to become
unconscious before hitting the ground. Personally,
I see that as a very frightening and gruesome way to
ctb.

There have been studies done on the footage of WTC jumpers on 9/11, it's estimated that 15 out of every 20 that jumped lost consciousness. They found this out by judging body movements on the way down.

Keep in mind, you also have to take into account that these people were struggling to breathe, even when hanging out the windows, the smoke just bellowed out, getting in their eyes, throats and mouths. smoke inhalation probably had a significant effect on how many lost consciousness.
