Discussion Would a 295 ft fall be enough?

[MoonDancer]

I know I've seen a post similar to this before, so apologizes if this is too similar to a previously asked question, but I have found a bridge that is relatively close to my house that is 295 ft tall. Would this height be enough to almost guarantee death?

I know that nothing as far as jumping is 100% foolproof, but at what point is it more likely than not?

There is also a building that is a little over 300 ft tall, however, I'm not sure if I could easily access the roof or any high floors.

Falling from a height of 295ft would involve you falling for 4.2 seconds and at point of impact travelling at 137.78 feet per second.

Yeah, you aren't surviving that.

I will be jumping from about 160 ft. I feel plenty confident that I will die on impact. Only you can decide if it seems high enough.

Good to know, thank you.

Oh, but would it depend if I was falling into water vs concrete? I hear some people say that after a certain height and speed hitting water is akin to hitting concrete, but I thought I'd ask.

Hitting water from that height would be the equivalent of hitting concrete as far as I'm aware.

If the fall doesn't kill you then the water will, so I guess there's that as an insurance.

Basically anything about 100ft and you're dead besides a miracle. If it's a freefall then it's death at that height

Could you pm the general location? I'm looking for a spot but can't find a decent one. If it's in the states I'll look into it

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

The recommended minimum height is 160 feet and landing on a hard surface.

Miracles can happen but you definitely shouldn't survive that. Try to see if you're capable of going head first but you have to adjust yourself in 4 seconds.

How hard is it to adjust mid-fall? Doesn't seem like it would be an easy thing to do.

I think its enough , I think people under estimate the height and gravity, it doesnt take that much , i once fell on my side from 10 feet, it happened so fast I couldn't protect myself.

I was barely able to walk for 1 week , almost got my lung perfored. The docs said i was lucky to have nothing broken.

In my country, a girl jumped from a 3 stories building and died because she was bullied at school. It was on the news lalety.

Jumping is so scary but once its done , its efficient and over quick.

Death of man at Grand Canyon Skywalk ruled a suicide

The death of a 33-year-old man on June 5 at the Grand Canyon Skywalk was ruled a suicide by local authorities.

www.azcentral.com

I know golden state and other bridges are popular but Grand canyon is overlooked. A lot of place over 800m. And highest 1.2km i think , its f...ing high bro.

Beachy head in uk is nothing compared to that.

True, but haven't people also survived free falling after a faulty parachute malfunctioned when skydiving? I suppose that's the only hesitancy I have about jumping, is people surviving outrageous things like that lol.

That's like 1 chance in a million , or more. I would take the chance on jumping and dying , the most plausible outcomes.

And drink SN just before jumping with a bag on your head for good measure loll.

People under estimate using 2 or 3 methods at the same time , thats 100% lethal, no execption there.

Honestly I wouldn't know…. I've never jumped and I have never sky dived or done anything where I can test that. See if you're able to find some place that has those machines where you enter them and the wind blows you into the air in a encased small space so you can test how it feels to fall.

see if you can find or afford doing one of these, again idk how similar it is to truly free falling…

 

[hi-okbye]

yea i think your a goner at that point, good luck!

I know right! I tried at work the other day my car was parked on the 6th floor in the garage but my heart started beating like Grady and I got dizzy looking down I don't think I want people to see me after a fall I mean it will traumatise them I want to die in a place where none can see me and my body is not tortured like taking medications or something.. I have to makeup my mind and just do it

 

[Saundersr1984]

My understanding is that anything above 4 stories is somewhere over 99% likely to be instantaneous, but I've just started researching here. The community may have more insight than the physics suggest.

Yeah,that's true. I definitely don't want to traumatize anybody, but it's going to happen with however finds my body anyway. Cause most deaths by suicide are not pretty. I used to view a lot of gore, and even things less violent like ODs are still really bad to look at to say the least. I'm not sure about SN. Especially hangings. You bloat up and your head swells to twice it's size and you turn purple.

But that's why I jumping into water, so that no civilians will have to worry about seeing my body and brain matter splatted on the ground!

Are you sure this is what you want? Suicide is not the answer all the time I know in my case it's but your story might be different or less painful… anyway, your right suicide is trauma to whoever find us… drowning can be a good option for me I can't even swim…

 

[Macrista]

Planning something similar. Hope it goes through

I believe that for me, suicide is my best option. I don't want to live in the world, the society I was born into. It is vile and corrupt. Besides, I have nothing going for me. Can't make friends, my family despises me for not being what they wanted me to be, and nightmares constantly about the man who raped me. I can't form proper connections with people easily if at all, which makes relationships hard for me, even though I crave affection and validation since I had none growing up in a emotionally abusive household.

I can't get happy no matter what I try or meds I take, so I'm just going to be a wage slave to big corporations and a tax whore for my government my whole life because people think that all suicides are wrong and "everyone has a purpose".

The only reason I was still alive is because I was trying to get into a government program for secondary education, but I make too much according to them. And I don't even make enough to rent a studio apartment and afford food.

So I have nothing left except for the job I work at that doesn't pay me enough to live.

So yeah, CTB would be ideal for me. Maybe not for everyone, but I think it's up to the individual. Ive been forced into a mental facility many times for being suicidal (13 times, 9 deer deer facilities) and they're just holding cells. The staff don't care, they don't provide any useful services like individual therapy (every one I've been to was group therapy only, but we were not allowed to bring up sensitive topics). And no one was being helped, but if you didn't "feel better" they wouldn't let you leave. So everyone would pretend like they weren't suicidal or were doing better with the issues they came in with, because if not, they wouldn't be allowed to leave. The psychiatrists would even ask if I even wanted to get better, and at the time, I did, but because I had been in so many times, they thought I wasn't trying. But really, the system is flawed and doesn't help those individuals, just forces them to hide their true feelings.

Because really, who wants to actually help a suicidal person? Because most people just give a half assed 'it'll get better' spiel, or say they aren't trying, or be happy. Or worse, they'll say "Oh, don't say that, you're making me sad" when they asked how you were feeling and said you could talk to them about anything.

And now I'm done trying, because everyone I've tried to please in my life thinks it's not enough, even if I'm giving everything I can.


((Sorry I just realized how long I made this, didn't mean to rant so hard XD))

I'm so sorry that you experienced "rape"!! I hate to see innocents suffer in life I wish I can say something to make you feel better.. life is nasty from A-Z no arguments there.. I don't know you but I can tell you are a beautiful person and I do care. Please write as much as you want we can read and maybe understand each other pain. Trust me my story is very sad I work as a counselor myself none knows I need help the most. The truth is nothing can be fixed sometimes and suicide is the solution to some of us!!
