Suicide by car?

[human909]

I know this might sound different but i am trying to find information about all the possible option so i can choose which is the right one.

Would be possible to drive your car at night and then when no one is around crash it into something or is it not recommended? Cause it seems pretty easy when you think about it but then again i don't know the chances of survival. I know few people tried it and they were all gone by the time the police or ambulance got there.

Thanks for everyone that helped!

Not recommend at all. The risk of surviving, but with awful, crippling injuries would make it a no go for me.

Just this week there have been 2 separate threads on SaSu by people who attempted to CTB by car and failed. Modern vehicles and roads are designed to be as safe as possible, and it's hard to outdo all those decades of engineering to intentionally kill yourself in an accident. It's not that you can't get killed, it's just almost impossible to get killed with any degree of certainty because there are so many variables that are out of your control.

Here's some data on fatal accidents:

For the first part to this question: yes. I did. It's not recommended because if done incorrectly.. you already know

I think it depends on how confident you are with speeding over 100 mph into something sturdy. My crash wasn't head on and I was in an suv. I think my chances would've been better had I been in a sedan and I hit the concrete median head on. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt and I anticipated being ejected from my car. It takes a lot into carrying out this method

I was reading this thinking I've already posted on this. You're correct, this is the 2nd post this week with the same method.
I posted a video from YouTube who was drunk and had a terrible car accident. The girl flew through her windshield and survived. When she woke up hours later in the hospital they had amputated both her legs, 1 arm barely works and the other arm is fine. Take the story and see if this is a method you desire
It's a hard choice.

Definitely a non-attempt for me because, although there is a high chance you can die, there's also a high chance you end up living a cripple or a vegetable, which are two of my worst fears when it comes to CTBing.
