What do you think it’s like to die by jumping off a tall bridge?

[V0latile]

It's my method of choice due to its reliability. I still fear it though. I stood at the Golden Gate Bridge a few years ago to see if I could do it and I couldn't.

I like this quote, "On the other side of fear is freedom."

I think there is a good chance, no matter how much you want to CTB, that you will instantly regret it. Because your SI will kick in and it'll suck because you're basically dead, but have quite a few seconds to think about what you've done and that there's no going back.

There is a chance you will hit the water, break all your bones and still be alive to suffer. You'd have to endure the cold water. There is a chance you will drown to death instead of instantly die. You might be saved and in the hospital, very badly injured, for months.

This is speaking for the GGB jump. Basically everyone who has jumped from there, and lived to tell the tale, has said they regretted it immediately.

Personally, if I were to jump, I'd choose solid ground to hit from somewhere very, very, very high.

The bridge I've chosen is 4 times higher. Should be instant death even though i'd land on water.

 

[LMLN]

Scary!

 

[heheb27595]

Make sure you never change your mind because all the cars will stop trying to rescue you. Make sure also there is no firefight facility after the bridge.

 

[Astral316]

I jumped from a 30 ft high building and the free fall wasn't half bad. If you make peace with death beforehand it might feel exhilarating... like you're flying... like Gene's friend in the doc The Bridge remarked.

 

[toomuchgrief]

I wouldn't even touch the Golden Gate bridge, why? Because it ridiculously short in height, it only 220 feet clearance below. You need something 10x that, you need to reach terminal velocity if you want to die, instead of paralyze all four limps for the rest of your life and still be alive.

I won't jump unless the bridge is 1,500 feet to 2,000 feet (terminal velocity reach at 1,500 feet you can't fall any faster than that).

Remember you only have ONE chance to CTB, rather you succeed, or you will be paralyze all four limps, can't even lift a finger, bedridden for the rest of your life, not to mention pain too. So chose well your location.

If I'm going to jump a bridge, I will jump here (pic). It 2,000 feet in height, guarantee death. I will go to the middle of this bridge, no, not on the sides, but the middle, and plunge down.

What do I think it like to die? With this height, it be BAM, all blackness, all over. You will hear a very loud BAM, then your heart will tear lose, so with your other organs. All bones will be broken and sharp bones will help punch through your organs too, but it wouldn't matter since your organs will be tear lose anyways. And also head injuries. You be go out fast. Remember, it only take a little concussion to blackout. Let alone plunge down a 2,000 feet bridge.

 

[APharmaDestroyedLife]

The one I've chosen is 900 ft. That's as tall as the World Trade Center was.

It's an interesting question, I would imagine jumping from height would be terrifying , i bet i wouldn't even make it over the ledge. i always fear surviving an attempt and being in a vegetative state... i have heard of people who skydive from 10,000 feet and their parachute failed and somehow they survived. then you hear of people dying from falling off 5 stories. catching the bus is such a crap shoot.

Having a parachute that failed would still cause drag. Try that without and they would've died.

I think jumping from the golden gate would probably crush a ton of bones in your body, cause extreme pain and partial paralysis and you would die from drowning... no way would I want to jump from the golden gate, or the bay bridge. In general I would not want to jump over water, but I'm to much of a chicken to jump from height anyway. I dont even have to test that, I just know I couldn't do it.

 

[toomuchgrief]

Lol at parachute fail, I read so many stories, where the parachute open, the strings got twisted together but the chute still open, so basically you still flying down with the parachute open. So NO, that is NOT free fall.

And don't even go with that woman who fall out of the airplane and survived. She ain't free fall neither. She was strap, her chair tied to a cabin, the cabin break away from the airplane wings and plunge down. So that WHOLE cabin was a cushion for her, then the cabin land on tons of thick snow, and tumbling down. LOL. That is NOT free fall my dear.
How the hell you stuck in a cabin protect your whole body and the cabin fall out is free fall? Free fall is when you body alone plunge down, not have a whole cabin protect your body. That is like strap you in a box, then throw the box down, ofcourse the box is a cushion for your fall.

Btw, OP, 900 feet is enough to die. Make sure you go on a day with as much less wind as you can, wear light clothing, and plunge straight down, right in the middle of the bridge will be the highest height due to the they build the bridge to balance, so always jump off in the middle.

GL OP, I be plunge to my death too, in Jan, so I can have the same death anniversary date with my deceased son.

How much wind is acceptable? For example, it's 10mph over there right now. How do i make sure to land on my head?

Good luck. How long ago did your son die?

 

[Final Escape]

Scary as hell, fast hopefully. Mostly shock depends.

 

[toomuchgrief]

Lareece Butler survived no chute or no secondary chute deployment at all, total pack failure, maybe it was not from 10k feet, but I think the lowest skydive that can be done is 3k feet. people survive all kinds of things that seem impossible

No, please read this news again. Get the facts right.

Lareece Butler plummeted to the ground when her parachute became entangled during a skydive.
The mother-of-one had leapt from a plane with a parachute which opened automatically but suffered problems within seconds of exiting the aircraft.

OP, don't listen to this, Google this story, it said this woman parachute became entangled. Meaning it open, but entangled the strings. The news said it right above, it open automatically but then it suffered problems, entangled strings.

Yeah, read this in the news.

Lareece Butler plummeted to the ground when her parachute became entangled during a skydive.
The mother-of-one had leapt from a plane with a parachute which opened automatically but suffered problems within seconds of exiting the aircraft.

How the hell is this 'fall without any parachute' kwim OP? It said right there, her parachute open automatically when she leapt out the plane, but the strings got tangle, meaning it still open, so tons of drag from her entangled chute.

My son died in Jan 2019, I want to CTB in Jan 2020, so we have the same date of death.

When you plan to do it?

Tbh, best place that would cause death would be The Twin Tower, because you plunge thousnad feet straight down concrete below. But nowadays it impossible to jump there, due to very strict security and very unlikely you can break those glass of the windows to jump.

I deleted the post because I had my facts wrong, there is a women who's parachute did not open at all and she survived. I had the name wrong , I am not trying to post inaccurate information, I apologize. however there is this story... and no he didn't stay in the plane... he jumped out.

I do hope you know why he survived, even without a parachute. Here read this,
[[
Magee, struggling with a shortage of oxygen and likely in shock from the events of the past few minutes, passed out again and God seemingly answered his prayer. The young noncommissioned officer fell into the town of St. Nazaire and through the glass roof of the train station. He was later found dangling on the steel girders that supported the ceiling.

The glass had slowed his fall and he regained consciousness as German soldiers took him to medical care. ]]

This gunner fell 22,000 feet without a parachute and lived

Paratroopers make a big deal about jumping out of planes from 800 feet, but U.S. Army Air Force Staff Sgt. Alan Magee fell out of a plane at 22,000 feet

www.wearethemighty.com

OP, don't listen to this story neither. This guy fell through the glass roof, the glass roof obsorbe his fall, evenly distrubute his impact. And he was dangling on the girders of the ceiling. So basically he didn't hit the ground, he did NOT free fall hit the ground. The dude dangling on the glass ceiling. So No, he didn't hit the ground impact.

Yeah, good luck find something who NOT dangling on the ceiling, go straight down the ground and survived.

And OP, make sure there no ceiling cords below your bridge that you can dangling on okay, *wink*

 

[Whitewash11235814]

The success rate is exceptionally high compared to other methods. There's never a 100% guarantee, and if that's what you're seeking, then you may want to skip on ctb.

 

[toomuchgrief]

OP, here the thing, it sound great when you fall out of a plane since it so high, but look at that man without a chute case, because it such a long fall, he can't see what he will be land below. So he land on the glass roof, and he dangling on the roof.
If you dangling on a glass roof and medical come help you, that means you did NOT hit the ground at all. You can't hit the ground if you dangling up in the roof somewhere. So this man did NOT have the full impact.

You don't need to fall out the plane, you just need it reach terminal velocity, or damn close to it. Because once a human body hit terminal velocity, you can't fly down any faster speed than that. So fall 2,000 feet or 20,000 feet doesn't matter, same terminal speed.

My advice to you is look below before you jump, make sure it clear, nothing below can break down your fall or caught you. Then you good to go.

Make sure you never change your mind because all the cars will stop trying to rescue you. Make sure also there is no firefight facility after the bridge.

No they won't lol. I stood at the side of a bridge and the fucking ambulance drove right past me. So did many other cars. They don't give a fuuuccckkk

Do you plan to fall forward or backward?

 

[randomz]

Personally, I would never choose this method as I am sure I will be regretting my decision during the free fall (also not nearly enough tall bridges and building where I live). I wouldn't like to survive and live in immense pain if I survive too.

 

[BridgeJumper]

Its awful.

I mean not exactly 'death by jumping off a bridge' because Im still alive but
I busted two vertebrae in my lower back and one in my upper back, I sliced my right foot in half, I got pneumonia from ice cold water, my legs were all bruised and swollen and entirely numb for at least 5 days after, I keep loosing feeling in my limbs and randomly falling and when I walk I look like a spastic because I drag my right leg that got stretched when I fell behind me. The sensations in parts of your body that are only halfway paralyzed are awful, its like hot currents and sparks shooting up your nerves whenever you accidentally touch that area.
I also went into hypothermia and I was so cold it looked like I was having a seizure, even after they wrapped me in isolating foil. Even my jaw tensed up so much I couldnt open my mouth. Had my fingernails break off my fingers (not wholly, just the white part). I had tubes everywhere, one tube per arm and one on my face to help me breathe. I was strapped down to the bed and had my wrists in restraints because I was unaware where I am and kept trying to get up with an injured back. For weeks after, I couldnt eat or breathe without choking on the water in my lungs. My muscles were so bruised it was hard to breathe. I was burning up in fevers and crying out in pain all night, and I got ptsd so bad I couldnt drink water without heating it in a kettle first, and even then I went into hysterics once I swallowed it and needed to be doped up with klonopin each time.

Would I still do it tho? Hell yes, I would, because Im a suicidal masochist

How high was the bridge? Was it a free fall? Don't lie to dissuade me.

 

[BridgeJumper]

Im not lying. It was the most painful thing I have ever done. Even paracetamol overdose wasnt that bad.
The bridge was only 15 meters and that is why I am still alive to post this. The fall knocked me out and I drowned but some 'helpful' person fished me out. Idk if I was dead or just unconscious, probably unconscious, but there was no light in the tunnel, I just logged out and came to somewhere on the ground being repeatedly slapped and yelled at by panicked people trying to wake me up.
Just sharing my experience. Im still going to ctb with this method, I dont care that it hurts. I deserve to hurt.
Found a bridge way taller that will kill me dead

Whats a free fall?
