im looking to ctb using a bridge. Assuming water is underneath, what height will I need? And how do I ensure there is nothing like supports or anti-suicide measures to block me?
What height is needed from water? I don't think there's anything nearby that's suitable.
Idk I not a jumper. Too many factors end people have survived from golden gate bridge before,
Just have to Google search stuff..

I don't know what other method to use. Hanging seems extremely complicated and I don't trust I can do it right. Pills are too unreliable and I don't think I can get any anyway.
Yeah it is hard to find something easy and accessible. I'd use Google maps at your address and start searching from there. A lot of people post about jumping on here so look thru old posts

Sodium Nitrite is easy to get, at least here in the US. I just ordered it from a chemical supply company I found by searching on line.
I found this in an article from last month:
Hundreds of potential suicides on Golden Gate Bridge are thwarted by citizen intervention, law enforcement, Golden Gate Bridge District Patrol, and California Highway Patrol each year. However, of those attempts, around 30 of those suicidal acts prove fatal; many of the bodies aren't even recovered, due to the turbulent nature of the ocean's waters that sit 200 feet below the 89-year-old bridge.
29 folks looked to have survived the plunge too. And I think they were installing either barriers or some side of catch system on it too.
And of course they have to throw the cliche statement on the headline.
Temporary my butt..
Edited and swapped with diff article with stats

Coronado bridge in San Diego is popular too.

The problem with jumping is that people have survived falls from insane heights. Yes having water makes it more likely to succeed as you will likely break your limbs and drown but even then if you don't get knocked out you can flip urself over to float. The problem is even if you manage to jump SI kicks in you probably would try to save yourself. IF you jump you prob need weights to prevent that. I think if you got ankle weights that might do the trick. If you could get at least 100 feet that would probably be ideal but its hard to find a bridge like that that is accessible to pedestrians,
So many do gooders camp that bridge looking to stop people because its famous.
Yes I couldn't jump into water. I would hate falling from a height either way. But I would rather go splat and hopefully be instant from blint force on hard surface.
I wouldn't want to be paralyzed, awake and drowning.
Blue ridge parkway maybe

I mean if you go over 10 stories that likely hood of success if very high. For me the reason I could not do it that way is that on the chance that you do fail and live you are prob a quadriplegic or vegetable afterwards and the pain would like be unbearable.
Sodium nitrite was taken off amazon due to controversy, and most of the chemical suppliers require a declaration of use. I'm also worried about it being tracked to me.

I wasn't questioned when I bought SN from a chemical supply company earlier this month. They didn't ask my age or what I was going to use it for.
