What is the chance of death for jay walking? Is it illegal to suicide by car?

Like you jump into someone car in a highway or something

 

[Peter Skellern]

Do you really want to traumatise or possibly kill an innocent driver/passengers?

 

[graysme]

I'd say, go with another way, as this could be dangerous for other people as well. About it being illegal? I don't know, does it matter if you're dead? Jaywalking on a highway is illegal if that concerns you, you'd get busted in very little time.

Waaay to many variables. How fast is the car going? What kind of car? How are you positioned in front of the car? Will you jump out in time or just get clipped? Will the car swerve? You cannot account for all or these, ecpsecially with your adrenaline pumping and SI trying to stop you.

You'd also be traumatizing an innocent person. Please consider another method.

Sending you Love and Kindness

That depends on how, where, and the speed of whatever is hitting you, but I don't recommend it as you could survive and get yourself in a position where you can't CTB and/or cause a bigger crash affecting multiple others

Cars are designed to crush on impact, damaging the vehicle instead of the passengers and pedestrian, reducing impact by a lot.

Very low. You'll be more likely to end up in hospital and an even worse position than you are now. Not to mention you'll traumatise the driver for life, ruining two lives.

I didn't understand, do you mean crashing on purpose or doing something else with the car?

 

[human909]

I also didn't understand, do you mean jumping into the car or infront of that? if you choose into the car highly not recommended since chances of survival when you crash the car it will still be high but then again i didn't quite understand the message here. sorry.

I would say its illegal because its probably going to cause damage, trauma, injury or even death to other people and not only the driver that hits you.

If you jump in front of a modern passenger car, they are designed to maximize pedestrian safety. You would probably fly across the hood, smash the windshield, and continue over the roof to fall on the ground behind or to the side of the vehicle. Occasionaly people break through the windshield and end up in the front seat instead, possibly injuring or killing any occupants. If you landed in the road you'd be forcing drivers to swerve and brake to avoid hitting your body, which may or may not be alive at that point. That creates a dangerous situation for everybody on the road.

Jumping in front of a commercial truck with a flat grill, the bigger the better, would be more likely to cause quick death. It would traumatize the driver, and these are working class people just trying to make a living so I think that would be highly unethical.

If you jumped in front of a car you'd also be casuing major damage to the vehicle, potentially totalling it. You'd also be traumatizing the passengers, and you don't have a clue who they might be, it could easily be a family with kids. Severly damaging someone's car and traumatizing them so you can CTB is just plain wrong, there are better ways.

Is it illegal? The details depend on where you live, but where I'm located it could violate numerous laws. It's illegal to be on highways in the lane where traffic drives, and especially illegal on freeways where you're not even allowed to walk on the side median. It could count as reckless endangerment to walk or jump into traffic because it will cause people to try to avoid you which can cause accidents. Reckless endangerment can be a felony charge, so if you survived the attempt you could find yourself doing prison time.
