Help Don't know where to jump from, need help on location.

[IJustWantToDie21]

I have been looking to ctb for a little while now, and I have been thinking either inert gas asphyxiation or falling headfirst. I naturally gravitate towards falling because I can't let my girlfriend find any sort of N tank for the inert gas method. I live in the western Washington area, is there any sort of cliff or bridge that will guarantee a successful end? I have been looking at a cliff right off the edge of the Mt pilchuck lookout tower. The problem is that I would have to spend the few hours hiking up without my girlfriend, and she loves hiking. So I have to do it without her and in minimal time so she doesn't get worried and find me before I actually ctb. If there are any other locations that you would know of if you know the area, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I won't be able to help you but I hope you will find peace and the right spot to free yourself

well it depends on the height. If its a few floors tall (ill say like 4-5) you might dir on impact. But your worried that it won't work. Try landing on your head.

The problem is that I have no idea, I have a feeling it's at least 2 or 3 floors, but it's so hard to tell from Google maps and Google images. Apparently a while back someone else decided to ctb there and did pull it off. In the article about it they said it was a 400 foot drop, but I did some math and it seems to be about 90-100 from what I can tell. So I have no idea what to trust. And all of the tall bridges in my area have fences to prevent anything from happening.

Then that might not cut it. You are probably just gonna injury yourself if you try. I wouldn't risk it. You would have to fall on your head perfectly. Hopefully it would break your neck.

My dumbass misread that. If its around 400 feet. That will probably work!

I originally intended to ctb by jumping, but when I did further research I discovered that there don't appear to be any suitable locations in Washington or the greater Pacific Northwest. So I decided to investigate other methods and landed on nitrogen + exit bag instead, which was quick and easy to obtain without the risks and uncertainty of jumping from a suboptimal location.

I'm not aware of any natural cliffs in the area that are high enough to reliably ctb. You'd want over 300 ft minimum drop (see the Jumping megathread) onto a hard surface to be confident of death.

There may be cliffs that high somewhere in the mountains around here, but I'm not sure where and how to measure it to be sure it's high enough. Also, if the drop is not fully vertical you would end up smashing into the wall, mangling yourself on the way down with a good chance of finding yourself alive at the bottom in excrutiating pain. If anybody saw you a rescue team would be called, and you'd end up getting airlifted to the hospital, suffering in intense agony while racking up massive medical bills, with a very high chance of permanent disabilities in the end. There are so many ways that could go wrong, I absolutely do not recommend it.

There are several bridges in the Northwest that people have regularly jumped from, you can find news reports and search Reddit to find spots around Vancouver B.C., Seattle, and Portland. Suicide barriers have been installed on all the main bridges, though. There is a tall bridge at Deception Pass that has been used for suicides including recently, but it's only 180 ft drop into water. There is a good chance you'd survive the fall with shattered bones and drown in agony.

To get a sense of the height, the Golden Gate Bridge drop is 240 ft for comparison. Several people survived that jump and swam to shore or were rescued, and it's known that many (or most?) others survived the initial fall and ended up drowning, so you really wouldn't want to jump from anything lower.

Most of the high places I'm aware of are in the Seattle area, but there aren't any accessible spots that are tall enough, and the city has a high popluation density so you'd risk hurting someone if you tried. There are a few ~10 story parking garages downtown, which is barely tall enough, and there are constantly people on the sidewalks where you'd be landing. The Aurora bridge used to be a notorious suicide hotspot, but now there's a tall suicide barrier. People have ctb'd from the West Seattle bridge, but it's only 140 ft and you'd either land in water, or in the middle of an active seaport with significant risk of hurting someone.

I also considered going down to Portland, but it's basically the same situation as Seattle. There are parking garages and bridges, but they aren't tall enough and there will generally be a lot of people around. People certainly do ctb by jumping in those locations, but it's risky and I think you should look into other, safer options.

Okay, thanks, I will look into other methods, it's just difficult to hide things from my girlfriend. So I don't know how well anything else will work if she can find the stuff for it.
