What are peoples thoughts on jumping.

[UKscotty]

Jumping is one of the few methods which actually works. Above 100feet and chance of survival is almost nil.

It's not a method that is a cry for help like pills, cutting, SN, etc usually are.

Jumping is only when you want out, not help.

However, it is not a method which will allow an open casket, it is instant and painless, but brutal.

WTF?! How did that happen???

It was one of those small poles , i assume they are meant to stop a car from crashing on the buildings. So this guy jumped from the building, and hit right in on the pole.

I wouldn't try it again, not without something to numb the SI at least. Too much of a risk for someone to see you and call the police. Not to mention that SI made me uncontrolably shake, therefore I couldn't climb over the bridge rails. My next try will be in privacy and safety of my home.

The fall seems very painful to me as well as the pain of the impact, even if it only lasts a fraction of a second. Have you read about how to try to land? I read in some youtube comment section of a collapsing bridge where people on it jumped feet first, that they would "be in for serious pain before they died". I think landing horizontally was ideal? But don't take my word for it.

I have considered it- out of desperation. I even did a recce of a nearby bridge once. I was kind of surprised that there were no nets and the railings were quite low. Still- I've also read of people surviving this spot- so that puts me off.

Suspect it's like all methods really- if there was a guarantee I would die instantly on impact- I might just about summon the courage. It's the fear it would fail horribly or that the death would be slow and excruciating that gets to me. It's too brutal and scary for me to be honest.

Make sure you die before you hit the ground. lol seriously though...

How could you die before you hit the ground

 

[EllmoM8]

thank you for everyones thoughts you have all given me lots to think about.

Lol in what world is SN a cry for help? Nobody has SN lying round the house to use on a whim. And SN has a very high fatality rate.

 

[LifeCanBeCruel]

I would never do it. I've seen too many videos of jumpers writhing in agony because the landing didn't kill instantly.

Not necessarily a cry for help as such but methods using medicines are well known to be less lethal and predominantly used by women as a cry for help.

Its lethal enough if done right and with the other drugs needed, but its not an instant or guaranteed method by any stretch. Its a decent method but not one that lives up to the media hype it gets is all.

One word: scary

Sn is lethal as hell with a high dose, not the baby sips. Right?

 

[Monkeyman]

It's a terrifying method, and almost always has a chance (as small as it can be) of failing and leaving you even worse off. But my biggest worry would actually be traumatizing someone who ends up seeing the corpse afterwards if it's a public place. So I hope that if you go through with it, you've picked the best possible place to do it.

 

[Leiden]

Jumping sounds very frightening to me.

 

[vultureilse]

i fantasize a lot about jumping but its not something id actually do

before i discovered partial hanging and sn i was planning on jumping but at some point i came across a gore video of someone jumping from a tall skyscraper and surviving with really gruesome injuries (and i absolutely dont handle gore well especially where you can see people suffering) and it scared me off from ever even considering doing it

 

[trayansh]

I have fear of heights and jumping sounds scary to me because there is a chance you might end up with broken bones or in coma, i wouldn't wanna suffer that way

 

[CowsAgainstCapitali]

I knew someone who used a bridge, but it broke his back and he drown. So water's out. I hiked up my favorite rocky hill which has great views of the valley with intent, but when I got there I decided that (because it was too dark for me to see) I might end up badly hurting myself, survive or be "rescued" instead. I'm assuming you'd get a skydiver's rush if you fell from a skyscraper, but that could end up hurting others badly. Jumping doesn't sound appealing to me at all.

I suppose in the sense that it can take a long time to aquire and you might change your mind. But jumping you can do at anytime.

 

[BurningMan]

I think the idea of jumping is sound, but I personally don't think I could do it. The survival instinct is too strong whenever I've tried from high up buildings. Plus the thought of someone finding my body in such a state leaves me uncomfortable as I don't want to leave someone with PTSD or something like that.

How is it possible to jump from a skyskraper and still survive?

 

[FireWalkWithMe]

It's a very efficient method when done from the correct height. The statistics are absolutely clear on that.

Personally I would never, ever have the balls to do it.

 

[TimetoGo!]

Jumping has been my plan for a while now. I have a great location for it

One of the most horrific methods.....not only shattering pain, but the sheer mess and harm to others as well, mentally. I personally feel that if we are going to take our lives, it should be done out of the way of public view and as peaceful as possible.

 

[liverhood]

well, i frankly just don't want to see my own guts splattered on the sidewalk with a bunch of people gathering around the mess my body has become, as my semi-functional brain is experiencing agonizing pain. it's wouldn't be a pleasant experience haha

 

[laceandsilk]

It's personally not my cup of tea, I think if it were high enough, perhaps the impact would be high enough that it would be too quick to suffer physically for too long. However, the higher you go, the longer it takes to fall, and I'm a bit terrified of my SI kicking in, and my last moments being one of sheer terror as I fall.

 

[Mywill]

I would consider jumping if I can't access to sn and gas method, Getting to a high enough place at where I lived is hardly possible. And I have to have the courage to jump, which I doubt I do without thinking about screwing it up and end up paralyzed.

 

[nightshade00]

For anyone considering jumping, myself and other members have compiled lots of info in this thread. It's not my first choice, but it's one of the methods I'm considering.

Jumping megathread

Please don't jump. Every person who jumps will feel fear of death for a second before they hit the ground. I've felt the fear of death (assaulted by a group) and it's the most terrible feeling in the world. There are ways that are more peaceful and painless.

[cherrysquick]

good method if you have a place high enough to be 100% sure youll die (breaking bones and being immobilized after sounds like hell) but personally im waaaay too afraid to do it. survival instinct would surely kick in. the jump itself is horrifying imo, the view from halfway down from bojack stuck too much with me to even consider jumping as my method

 

[Rabbit-]

My dream method, if I had access to a building tall enough to guarantee death. It'd only take a moment of courage, which I'm sure I could manage, and from that point even if my physical SI took over I wouldn't be able to back out. A true win of mind over matter. For some reason, the thought of the fall is thrilling to me too, like a moment of true freedom. Or like the adrenaline rush from a roller-coaster I suppose, lol.

That said, I do really hate that it's so messy. I don't want my remains to traumatize anyone, but I can't think of a way to avoid that with this method. And like others I worry about surviving the fall, but getting to a place high enough that I'd certainly die seems unlikely, so... I probably won't be using this method.

 

[Kittzuni]

The only reason why I decided against jumping a while back (I had access to the roof of a building that's 18 floors high) was because I remembered a reddit post about a guy who fell onto a car and survived. There were cars below the building that day even though there weren't the day before and I don't plan on suffering in my final moments. I do think about it every time I'm in a tall building though. I even read a 200-300 page long thesis on fall heights while sitting at the edge of that balcony for few hours.

As others mentioned SI is hard to overcome but I've also had really stupid ideas during psychosis and tried jumping from my own apartment building a few months back even though I knew (at least in the back of my mind) that it wouldn't be high enough to kill me, so there is that.
