What's the probability of success with a night jump?

[Nothingness91827]

Height of 170 feet. I will be seen by the little traffic on the bridge at 3 or 4 am, but there won't be any boats getting to the scene in time if the fall prevents my ability to swim.

I would attempt to fall at slightly more than 45 degrees forward in order to land head 1st. Perfect case would be instant loss of consciousness.

I'm hoping worst case would be a few minutes of drowning while in obvious agony.

Survival is the only outcome that's not acceptable.

Would this method yield a +99% success rate?

You could go without the agony, although I'd assume it's too hard to find a high enough drop with solid ground, if you could get a running start and then go into a forward dive face first that would be preferred but probably hard to do. You could probably get a running start and try to rotate yourself midair somehow so you fall on your belly and face. Drowning just seems like a shitty end man but hey!

But then again it seems like a pretty okay method off the jump (pun intended). I wish you an instant glorious death, may whatever powers out there bless you!

Drowning is not a fun way to go

Drowning seems so painful and panic inducing.
