Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

If you were to jump, what would you think about while falling?

Definitely unexpected. I was trying more to use it to relating it to the pain aspect of it. Once the brain has trauma I believe the pain is non existent.
If you are wondering what falling is like give bungee jumping a try.
I've seen some really crappy therapists that are just prescription whores.
I've been thinking about jumping a lot but I don't want to hurt the people who might accidentally witness it as I've witnessed someone do it (they survived ) and it made my heart drop.

Realistically I'd probably be terrified the whole way down and just have to hope that I fall as fast as possible. But this is my method as once you take the step off the edge there's no backing out of it.

the person didn't jump per se but they were hanging off with their feet dangling down onto the motorway (or freeway ), the police officer held onto their hand and finally, they dragged them up. it kinda triggered me for a couple of days and oddly enough a month later I met them in the psych ward during my stay, they didn't have any injuries that I could see but they were sectioned.

"The opposite of depression is vitality"-A.S. Tedx
I would recommend going on a tandem skydive at least once if you are considering this method(Of course, not sure its possible with the social distancing measures). I did it earlier this year and was suprised by how peaceful it was. I could breathe, I didnt have a knot in my stomach.. it was great in my opinion. If I could afford a skydive kit and the training program, Id dive and never deploy the chute.. unfortunately it is very expensive.
Both methods have their suck, fo- sho.....but in general, i don't think there's any easy way out of here- NOT at this point.....pick our 'preferred poison', whatever we can get! ..i guess that's how i see it........
(I would probably regret it really hard and flail my arms around - just like I did the first time around, because Im a coward that isnt ready to face death)
It's thought that a sense of regret is felt as soon as a person jumps, so maybe shit! I've changed my mind, what have I done? Followed by thoughts of those you love.
But who knows?
I don't believe anyone would not be influenced by the SI no matter how much they want to Ctb, but there would be so little time to think in this situation

Sky dive is one of the best things i've done, so i imagine it'll prob be a massive buzz.
I guess we only know about what the ones who survive were thinking, and if there's a high prevalence of regret, maybe that's linked to their survival. Hopefully the ones who die just embrace the fall, the buzz and the end.
This thread reminds me of the poem from BoJack, The View From Halfway Down about when Secretariat jumped. I have it in my name because it's been guiding my choices as I figure out how to catch the bus. I don't want to go through the pain of potentially realizing everything would be okay except for the fact that I was about to die and couldn't do anything about it. It scares me beyond words. I don't care how much the method I chose hurts physically as long as I don't end my life looking at the view from halfway down.

If you watch the video where Secretariat jumps, he clearly doesn't regret it. Secretariat at the time of the poem was really just voicing Bojack's view of death.

I know, but there's definitely some truth to it, and I think the original shot of him falling is so zoomed out for a reason. I know the writer used testimonies from people who jumped to write it. IDK, something about that poem was enough to stop me from ever jumping

Watch the documentary The Bridge. There's a guy at the end who clearly doesn't regret his fall. The key to it i think is exhausting your options of getting better.
I don't think people should jump with that mindset. Why impose anymore unnecessary suffering on yourself? I plan to jump in a calm state. It's been done.

Yeah that's just me, jumping won't be the way I'll be going. Although I really don't think it matters once you're in free fall because the deed is done already. Do you know what you'll be jumping from?

A bridge. About 800 ft. 10 second drop. Should I fall backward or forward? I heard landing on your feet is bad but I don't know if that matters at 800 ft.
