Is jumping painless?

You are correct. Yes, even the guillotine, a popular tool used during the French revolution that cuts your head off, as efficiently as possible, doesn't kill you instantly.

For people who don't feel like reading the article above. It mentions that a Dr. Ron Wright believes you are alive for 13 seconds after your head gets cut off by a guillotine... That doesn't sound like much but it might feel like an eternity if you are in agonizing pain... Now imagine CTBing in a way that lets your brain stay alive for 5 minutes or longer after your body has been mutilated almost everywhere... I've seen such things happen... Not with my own eyes so don't worry. But from watching videos from this sub reddit that used to exist before too many people became butthurt by it's existence and had it shut down.

13 seconds is nothing, i'd sign for that in a heartbeat. Sure it may feel longer but not by that much, it's still a mere 13 seconds, and after that the feeling is over.

No suicide method is perfect. Even N tastes like crap and not everybody can get it because of either customs or lack of money. So when comparing suicide methods you'd have to take into account the alternatives, not compare it to some ideal inexistent suicide method. If you wanna discard any suicide method that isn't perfect you'll have to discard them all, and this is simply unacceptable for someone set on dying.

Really i'd take 13 seconds of suffering if death is guaranteed afterwards in a heartbeat.

Another thing you fail to consider is that death may be immediate, as in consciousness is interrupted, yet there are still some exterior/behavioral signs of life. The same way someone in a copa or deep sleep can move while steel feeling nothing from the inside.

I recommend the grand canyon in Arizona, has a depth of over a mile deep in some spots, unless your god or something like that theres literally no chance of survival

What if you land on a cushy tree? The world record for longest survived fall (without a parachute) is 33,000 feet, so about 6 miles, and that young woman lived to a ripe old age after that with only a limp to show for her ordeal. There is literally no height from which a fall is 100% fatal. I know some people want to land on their head, though I'm not sure that it's even possible to control how you land.

Do you think 12 stories (onto concrete) is high enough? Meaning 95%+ probability of death...

what do you think about jumping from cliffs? And what is the result if landing on sand? Will 100 meters still be enough? Is landing on cliffs always deadly, because it's stone? Would it be sufficient to jump from 130 meter cliffs? And it surely has to be straightup on the ground right?

Some people want to go overkill and only choose jumping spots over 150 meters. Im perfectly fine with a 40 meter bridge into concrete pavement. In my town, people have jumped from 10 meters less and none of them survived, so thats good enough for me. As for pain, probably depens how you land. If you go headfirst and crack your skull it will probably hurt less than feetfirst / backfirst with all the bones dislocated and some time alive after the jump. But not everyone has enough balls to do this. I think you should avoid anything under 50 meters over water, maybe 65 - 70 just to make sure ( Golden Gate is 72m and 98% death rate, although 38 - 45 meters into water have caused death). Stay away from sand cause it softens the fall and you just get embdded into the ground. You could survive if the water is not deep enough to cover your head and make you drown, thats how people survived jumping without a parachute. Hope I helped :)

Even from jumping from the new river gorge ?!?

 

[toomuchgrief]

I don't know if jumping is painless. But I would chose the highest bridge just to be safe, make sure you crush when you hit bottom concrete.

My bridge, this is the tallest bridge in the U.S., Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado. Clearance below of 1,000 feet (300 meters).

Here the pic, isn't it a beauty?
About 21 suicide deaths there already, and NONE survive. Surely you can't survive if you hit those rocks and hit the bottom concrete/or that shallow river. Let hope it instant death and won't hurt long.
