It's been a week since he jumped off an 8 storey building a few minutes away from my apartment. I cross that street daily and now I look at this new possible way to ctb JUST AROUND THE CORNER with even more confidence than ever before.
I have decided on the exact date 7 years ago and been considering full suspension hanging for quite a few years but after seeing how someone drops ~80 feet (THE RECOMMENDATION IS AT LEAST TWICE AS MUCH) onto concrete and instantly dies.. Fingers itching, really wanna join the jumper club even when the mountaineer me can't jump off a cliff or just simply drop for 3,500+ feet anytime I'm in the Swiss Alps. The SI keeps screaming to turn around anytime I get that "just one step forward and I am 100% gone" thought. Of course, the view is to die for, not gonna lie.
So much respect for my dearest neighbor. Maybe this was a sign that I should consider this possibility and create a plan B.
He's not the only one to succeed at this method. For example, just last year my family friend, a goddamn 13 year old, managed to land on his head after dropping for 70 or so feet onto concrete a few blocks away from my house and also had instantly died. (I live in a country with one of the highest ctb ratings in the world, don't mind me!)
