Possible to Exit by getting struck by lightning? There are few other ways for me to CTB right now, and I have run out of options. I know the mortality rate is about 10% but can it be done if I stand on a high hill or something with a copper wire or something leading the electricity? I do not know when the next thunderstorm will occur, maybe in a couple of weeks or so. I was also thinking of swimming out on the ocean, because if I'm hit, I might drown by the shock.

That sounds fun and creative, but I really don't think it is feasible sadly

But lightning doesn't kill all of its victims; around 90% of people struck survive. A lightning bolt can pass through your body within mere fractions of a second — often, not even enough time to leave a mark.

However, people who survive are usually left with nerve damage, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and neurologic symptoms "similar to the post-concussive injuries that football players get," such as impaired judgment and difficulty concentrating, Dr. Mary Ann Cooper, a lightning safety specialist at the National Lightning Safety Council and emerita professor of emergency medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told Live Science. It is unclear exactly how these brain injuries occur, Cooper said, given the low number of lightning strikes and relative lack of funding for research. However, experts think that they are probably caused by some combination of tissue disruption from the current and blunt force trauma from the abrupt barometric pressure change.

I can't think of a less reliable way to try to catch the bus. But it would be an interesting way to go.

I'm sorry you're so desperate but I think it's better to check out the Suicide Resource Compilation.

You'd probably have better chances shoving leaves in your mouth to try and asphyxiate yourself (don't do that either). As praestat suggested, check out the resource compilation

Thanks!! This looks like better alternatives.

I did, it was interesting. I will do more research in there because there was some really good options

I thought it was a quick deal. If I was struck by the head. But the mortality% seems just to low. I guess every option seems like a good option if you have run out of things to try.
