Time ~17min agony 7 out of 100
how is that even possible

Not sure either. There is the case of a German guy who attempred suicide by jumping in front of a train and ended up surviving with the loss of his legs. I'm sure his agony factor was extremely high. Years later he ended up ctb via hanging.

Sounds like another scare story.

Indeed. If one ctb's via train and is successfull, it can be very quick, but if unsuccessful, it's a situation one does not want to be in.

I haven't seen many articles on failed train suicide. Only a few in scientific journals.
Usually train deaths are not in the news to avoid copy cats, but I imagine if something came out it would probably portraide as gruesome to deter others trying the same thing and because its an "inconvenience" for others.

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

trust me. train suicides can very easily go wrong. these are not scare tactics. often one will lose a limb or two or get injured by the force of the train.

Yeah why not?
That way you will die 100% and it's going to be 100% painless.

well you will feel your whole body getting crushed for a few minutes...

You don't, not if you take the right sleeping pills. Barbiturates for example. High dose of Ketamine (horse tranquilizers).
And even if you wake up, your neck is glued with superglue on the traintrack so you're not going anywhere!

if you had barbiturates, why bother with the train?

 

[noname223]

Thought about this method too. Many people said the survival rate is too high.
I would be interested do the passengers notice the suicide? Will there be blood and organs at the windows of the train. Sorry for the explicit description but I thought this would happen. Now I doubt it.

That, plus in countries like America one risks having their fragmented cadaver end up on a gore site.

I'm very inclined to agree.

Hmm.. I feel this poll I made is in direct contradiction with what you said and bears allot more weight.
The only way I see it could go wrong if you jumped on the tracks and then bail in the last second, then yes you might be fucked because of drag and suction.

Whaaaat? Those people don't know what they are talking about.

No offense though, I just think most people don't spend much time researching train method.
Imo it's one of the best methods, quick and painless if done right and there doesn't seem to be much going wrong.
Any reasoned counter arguments I will gladly take into account, but simply..

"trust me. train suicides can very easily go wrong."
and
"Many people said the survival rate is too high."

..come from people that haven't done their research and I consider bollocks unless more credible information is provided.

ok well i hope for your sake that is true. do what you gotta do and good luck

if after decapitation head can be still alive 30 sec, i think with out pain, cause spinal cord is separated from brain

I believe I saw some short presentation on whether or not there is consciousness after decapitation. There was an experiment in France back a few hundred years ago where a condemned was executed via guillotine while a doctor was present. The doctor immediately pulled the severed head out of the basket once the blade fell, and spoke the deceased's name. The eyes on the head began blinking, which could mean that death is not immediate, or just an uncontrolled physiological twitch.

I literally have train tracks at the end of my street, so of course I thought of this method a long time ago. But I thought about the train driver and passengers and how much it would traumatise them so I decided against it. I also thought about the things people would call me if I decided to go with that method. There has been a lot of people ctb with the train in my country and they get called selfish for delaying the train. Someone took their own lives yet all most people care about is the fact that their train was delayed. It's sad.

The only trauma to the driver and pasengers would be that they would get very annoyed that they couldn't get to their destination in time. This is the era where human life has no value. Train conductors are fully briefed that there is a very good possibility that they will encounter a jumper at some point during their career. This is considered part and parcel of their job. Yes we see video clips of those conductors who have been extremely 'traumatized' by having been at the wrong place and time and had someone jump in front of them. But I suspect those conductors are putting on a more dramatic posture to optimize the medical benefits they receive after such an incident.

The main deterrent to ctb via train is that it can go horribly wrong, and if so, one could survive with serious injuries such as ending up paralyzed or with some kind of limb dismemberment, and being thrown in the looney bin for good measure. That has got to be among the worst situation one could find themselves in.

 

[Naufrago]

Sobre esse tema eu conheço muito bem porque eu trabalhei por 10 anos como maquinista (operador ou condutor de trem).
Durante esse período entre acidentes e suicídios, foram 13 ocorrências de atropelamentos; 9 fatais e 4 sobreviveram (bem estragados). Quero deixar registrado que: além da dor que a família sentirá, o maquinista também sera emocionalmente afetado, pois, aconteceu comigo.
Já tinha pré disposição genética para depressão, e essas experiencias desagradáveis dispararam o gatilho. Não aguentei e tive que sair desse emprego. Ferraram com minha cabeça, se não tomar clonazepam a noite, tenho pesadelos com a ferrovia.
NÃO RECOMENDO...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Train suicides or any other traumatic method is a symptom of what happens when society doesn't allow peaceful accessible methods to exist for suicidal people. Since society wants to make it harder and harder where one can safely do it in privacy then suicides are going to happen out in the open for all to see. Fucking hypocrites you'll never stop suicides from happening no matter how many methods you take or outlaw.

And what's fucked up in some countries they'll go after families who chose this method with fines. Like wtf? Yea that'll sure show them and prevent more suicides from happening.

 

[TriggerHappy]

...maybe I'm on the wrong thread /or would that be track?!
- apologies, such serious moral highground-ing goin on...
(ps: the driver looks a happy enuff chappie, don't think me leaping in front of his engine would ruin his day /make him cry....)

This is so true. I personally considered suicide by train because of its effectiveness despite its ugliness for everyone. But no one should come to this way of dying, that can be awful and horribly slow and very uncertain... And which implies to traumatize at least one other person. I think the same for jumping of a bridge or cliffs. Uncertainty very high, and if it goes wrong you will either suffer very much before dying or survive being severely impaired, making your situation even worse than at the beginning.

No normal society should accept that. People are dying by suicide, that's a fact. I believe that for 20-30 yo people it is the main cause of death, before car accidents (at least in Europe I think). That means that even if everything is done to prevent suicide, many people that suffer enough will do it anyway, regardless of the pain they will endure to die.

I'm no expert, this information is based on what I've read online.

The best way of killing yourself this way is probably lying with your neck on the railway track, so the train decapitates you. Do it on a high speed train line, near a blind bend.

Advantages: should be quick, and therefore reasonably painless. I can't guarantee that though, as I said, I'm no expert.

Please feel free to discuss other advantages and disadvantages.

I did ask the mods for permission before creating this thread, but got no reply.

Is it me losing my mind or do those tracks not have a voltage running through them??? Like the third rail???

 

[Marktheghost]

Only 2 rails on most railway tracks I've seen.
There may be some that are electrified, I'm pretty sure most aren't though.

 

[8evergo]

the law in germany says that the suicide in the railway lines his descendants and heirs have to settle the bill in germany could be bill over 1000.000 euro if they have blocked the railway lines

I remember reading when that law was proposed in the government's legislature. Sounds like Germany has taken a turn for the worst.

 

[lmon]

What's with the fixation with train suicides lately? It's a bad idea because you're making someone kill you. That might destroy the drivers mental health and they might kill themselves over it. It's a bad idea.

Well if the government cared so much about their mental health they would legalize euthinasia, but they don't so we have them to blame I guess. So rude

 

[yeh it's all gucci]

- Wait in bushes for incoming train. Have music in ear and be high on opiates. Have a fast-acting sleeping pill ready and also superglue made for skin.
- Roll the glue around your whole neck.
- Run to the track just before incoming train speeds ahead.
- Lay down and make sure neck is in right position and swallow the sleeping pill.

What is the sleeping pill for if you're trying to rush out there just before the train speeds by?

I'm wondering the same thing and all I can imagine is this guy standing over by some bushes frantically trying to "roll glue" around his neck and pop a "fast acting" sleeping pill while the train approaches and passes him by, the passengers onboard looking at him wondering what he's on.

I mean, how you gonna run to the track just before the train gets there and expect to fall asleep, no sleeping pill is going to do that. This post made me laugh.
Reading this megathread has made me think that maybe I should have been a train driver. I feel like I wouldn't have an issue running someone over if they were on the tracks, I'm just being helpful really. Might add some excitement to the day, and then you get paid time off to cope with it, sounds good to me.
I'm sure this isn't the case for most of the drivers, but I guess everyone thinks differently.

just get on your hands and knees with your head facing the oncoming train, the trauma should do the job, that's how i've imagine following through this idea if i did it

Good God.
Amazing how the human body can be cut in half and still survive...fuck I hope they at least let her die and didn't try to save her. The positioning of one's neck on the rail would seem to be the way to go, though there supposedly some speculation that one could still be alive for several seconds after decapitation, and honestly would not want my last moments of my life rolling around between the tracks and under carriage of the train.

Similar thing can happen with a gun shot gone bad. Here is a nasty example of how a gun shot to the head can go wrong and one survives:

i guess it would just be a challenge to position the head correctly on the tracks while the body is pumped full of adrenaline and the train is approaching.

An afterthought on the successful ctb via train in the above video, that particular train looks like a classic large wheel train. I do think about whether or not the more modern trains could derail with one's neck on the tracks:

I couldn't find it online, so here's the question: do German trains (especially RB) have cowcatchers/something that "prevents suicide"?

I have seen and ridden them a lot, but never noticed any.

In Germany, cowcatchers are required by law.
As § 28 "Ausrüstung und Anschriften" of the "Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung" (EBO) states:

"(1) Triebfahrzeuge und andere führende Fahrzeuge müssen folgende Ausrüstung haben:
1. (…),
2. Bahnräumer,
3. (…)"
