Jumping

[Cook]

What's the likelihood of surviving a fall? Also, what is the best way to overcome the survival instinct ????

Surviving a fall is hard to predict. Some people have fallen out of planes and lived where some people have fallen off ladders and died.

Survival instinct is a tough thing to get around. No easy answer there either. Some people say alcohol and or benzos but in my experience they haven't helped.

I guess your will to die needs to be MUCH greater than your will to live to comfortably overcome SI.

There is a jumping megathread you should look at

Depends on many factors. Height, landing surface, how soon you receive help etc.
In my case all the odds went against me. I landed with one leg on the grass central reservation and the other on the tarmac, I was airlifted to hospital which saved almost an hour, one of the paramedics was an advanced life critical care paramedic so could do much more an the scene to save me.
Be careful.

Did you land head first? Did you feel pain or did you black out upon landing?

Feet first I'm afraid. Rotating is harder than it's sounds.
Pain and then blackness. Apparently the ketamine and fentanyl is what wiped my memory. From what I was told I was just screaming stop the pain stop the pain.

Holy shit that sounds fucking awful. So sorry that happened to you. So you were aware the whole time until the pain meds..? How high was your jump?

It was 25m. Yep as I didn't have a head injury. Most of my abdominal organs had been torn and were bleeding out into each other too.

Im so sorry . Holy ...
You don't have to answer if this is a rude question to ask, how bad was the pain? And are you going for another ctb method?

Not rude at all don't worry.
On a scale of 1-10? 1000. I'd never broken a single bone before this so can't compare it unfortunately. To be honest, no not really. A couple have come to mind but with jumping I know I can do it now if that makes sense?

My heart is crying for you.. 1000..
So you'd attempt jumping again?
