Jumpers

[dust-in-the-wind]

I'm new here but have not come across any posts on people wanting to jump from bridges or buildings. Is it because of the mess your body will become? Seems like a quick way to go, if you are up high enough. I have a bridge near me 210ft high over deep waters. Only 1 survivor that I could find. I'm so tempted.

My understanding is that jumping isn't as popular due to SI. That, and a failed attempt would be brutal.
Some people are able to overcome those types of things.

Tried to jump but i just couldn't, looking down made my legs physically hurt.

I can just imagine how bad the fear of the height was. I probably couldn't do it either unless I was completely wasted.

Yes always that slim chance of survival and becoming a quadriplegic or some other horror

In addition to what other said, there is a pretty high chance of being "rescued". And who knows in what condition you will end up after they "save" you.

That's the only method I can see myself using...

There's a movie called "the bridge" which came out in 2006. It's a non judgemental movie that documented people jumping from the golden gate bridge, including a person that survived. They camped under the bridge for a year & filmed many jumpers leaping to their deaths. They interviewed family members & witnesses.
Like I said, it's not a judgemental movie & is quite educational. I thought it was a beautiful movie.
I hope this is helpful to you

With my upcoming trip to the city, this is something I've been meaning to watch.

Thank you for the reminder c:

There have been plenty of people discussing jumping off of a high place you just have to look for it. There is one member who ended up losing his leg after failing suicide attempt from jumping. They are no longer with us though they took their life At the end of June.

Who is this member? Was the height too low?

The biggest fear in choosing jumping is as someone already mentioned is ending up disabled or badly injured. If there was sure death, it would be more popular.

Thank you I will check it out.

Does any method really have a sure death? I've even heard of people surviving a bullet to the brain! Which seems impossible to me.

Never been tempted to ctb by jumping. I'm afraid of heights, and I don't want to think about it on the way down.

 

[lnlybnny]

It's not easy to find an accessible place with proper height everywhere to jump

Jumping isn't my ideal method, but it's the method I daydream about. It was the method I was going to try when I was last actively suicidal. (I called my therapist's emergency number.... Never again )

I think the most about jumping from a bridge over water. I see the water as a backup method - drowning. I like that not many materials are needed for the method. As others have said, one of the biggest issues with this method is SI.

This info may be helpful (unsure of source):


Also, I found this paper really interesting. It's a research paper that interviewed several people that survived the jump from the Golden Gate Bridge. It's interesting to hear of their first hand experience. It's an older paper (1975), but holds up well as it's regarding personal experience.

I looked up the bridge in question, there aren't many reported survivors, but not many confirmed deaths either. It might work alright. I'd be more concerned I'd survive the impact and slowly drown to death.

The person who survived jumping off the golden gate bridge fractured his spine when he landed on the water then was rescued. Otherwise he would have drowned. The thought of drowning in agony with broken bones demoted this from top of my list to the bottom.

It's not popular because not only would a failed attempt be brutal and fuck up your life 10000x more, but because of how terrified you would be while falling, it's one of the least peaceful ways to go about it.
