It seems from reports that if you jump from a high enough height, you're pretty certain to ctb. So it's probably the most reliable way to ctb, if high enough.
Obviously this isn't accessible for everyone (physical issues, etc) but it seems jumping is a lowly used method to ctb (in one study I saw, only about 2% of suicides in U.S. and Europe was from jumping; was nearer 50% in Hong Kong, where people would have had greater access to high rise buildings).
Given that people can travel to the likes of the Grand canyon, or Golden Gate bridge, or high locations in most regions, what is the biggest deterrent to put people off jumping?
Is it not willing to travel to location with a great height, or fear of the height and falling to an impact, or other reason?
