Jumping from a height - how painful do you think this method is?

[Christ88]

If you jumped from a 300 feet tall cliff, do you think it would be agonizing or not?

Most people who have jumped from 200 feet or more on land die 'instantly'. Do you still think it would be very painful even it was instant death?

thanks for your opinions

 

[Defenestrator]

It would be quick, yes. Just a warning though, it's really hard to jump - you think you can until you're actually there and then you pause and that's all it takes for it to all go to shit.

I'm sorry that you're considering this type of end.

300 feet (91.4 meters) = 27 stories (approx.)

No one can be certain.
There are some variables that COULD very well affect the agony level and/or time of death:

- landing surface
- gradient
- wind direction/strength
- body position on impact
- obstructions
- clothing
- physical health

I think some or many will say...."doesn't matter, at that height you'll die immediately regardless" but...
How could anyone possibly say that with absolute certainty?

There are aspects that would increase the odds of a quicker death. I imagine you know what they are.

why are you sorry i'm considering this type of end? or was that just politeness for the sake of it?

Not that hard, you just need to be in the right mindset and ensure no dicks gonna make you stop!! I stood on a bridge for hours, every time I went to jump some fucker shouted at me distracting me! Long story but seriously, if you are in the right mind, you can sit and still go through with it, SI can be a bitch yes, but it can be over come in any situation, for me SI kicked in harder when I wanted to OD!!

I just know that (for most) it's a frightening method to plan/consider....and yeah, I'm sorry you're here, sorry I'm here, sorry we all feel so fu*ked we need to consider these drastic things. That's all.

I think jumping is one of the most simple methods of leaving this world.

I understand , thanks for the advice btw

No charge

You fall into this world so why not fall out...!
I plan to go into water, I have tried from one bridge twice, stopped both times (not helped by a twenty min main road walk to it!) So am planning a different one next time, one with a public pathway next to it so no worries about raising concern!

I jumped and survived.

It took a lot of dedication to jump. I sat on the ledge for several long minutes before finally deciding to jump.

When I landed and broke my legs, I didn't feel anything. I didn't even realize I broke my legs until I tried to get up.

From which height did you jump? And what surface did you land on?

That's very major, thanks for sharing. How far of a jump was it? Like 10 stories building equivalent?

Wasn't it terrifying on your way down?

I would be too scared of bones breaking and crushed head injury, i would rather drown, although everyone is different. I respect your tenacity.

you could not have jumped from very high or you landed on a soft surface. If you jumped from 300 feet you would not be talking to me right now

I didn't jump from a very high place. Only a few stories.

I landed on a flowerpot and broke it.

I wasn't terrified at all on my way down. I was terrified of continuing to live more than jumping.

I felt very calm when I fell down. It took a while to hit the ground, and I remember the fall very well.

Even when I landed and discovered that I'm still alive, I was still calm.

I don't know if this helps answer your question, but it might:

When I was 6 years old I fell off a cliff while playing hide and seek. Only about 30 feet, and I scraped a rock ledge on the way down (that sliced my face open and permanently scarred/disfigured me).

I can tell you that there was ZERO pain and ZERO awareness of the fall and landing itself. All I remember is taking one step to hide behind a tree (which happened to be at the edge off a cliff. Lol.) and after that it's just TOTAL DARKNESS. The next thing I remember is laying at the bottom of the cliff and trying to figure out how the heck to get back up. Even then I felt ZERO pain eventhough half my face was sliced open. I didn't even realize that I was injured at all until I noticed all the blood turning the ground red. Mild panic set in, but pain didn't even register until after I was rescued and taken to the hospital.

So while I don't encourage anybody to jump to their death (or kill themselves at all) I'm pretty certain that there would be very little (if any) awareness of the fall and landing, and zero pain or agony. The human body has a way of blocking all of that out and protecting us from serious pain.

I'm using my imagination obviously but I'd think the most painful part would be summoning the courage to jump. If you had or could get your hands on some benzos to help you out with that it seems like it would be pretty painless.

I read a lot on here about Benzo's what are they, what does it do etc?

I read a lot on here about Benzo's what are they, what does it do etc?

Benzodiazepines - they're a class of sedative drugs. Like Lorazepam, Diazepam etc. They usually end with a -pam.

Benzo's short for benzodiazepine. They're pills like Valium and Xanax, or Klonopin. Um...Tranxene I think (Hope I spelled that right). I'm sure there's more. They calm you down some. You know, make things half bearable.

I am gonna take a guess that they are prescription only? I am UK btw

I don't sleep, would they help sleep haha ! I need over the counter stuff though, is this doable in the UK?

Yeah, you have to get a prescription for them. It's pretty easy, at least here in the US. Go see a psychiatrist or maybe even just a doctor and tell them you're having high anxiety or panic attacks...just all around bad nerves, and unless he or she's an asshole they'll usually hook you up. I'm sure you can get them on the dark web but that stuff's over my head, I don't know how you even access it. I'm sure somebody on here can help you out with that.

They'll help you sleep if you take enough of them for sure. I dunno about anything over the counter, none of that ever worked for me. Nyquil doesn't even knock me out.

I got diazepam for severe anxiety - also in the UK, however I was only given 14 tablets due to suicide risk. They're really reluctant to prescribe it and you have to be visibly anxious like shaking etc. or they'll just give you propranolol.

That's nuts they only gave you 14 of them. You can't commit suicide with just 14 Valiums, there's no way. But...I'm in the US, I'm sure it's different there.

 

[jgm63]

If I were considering jumping as a method, then I'd want to :

> find somewhere that's 300 feet ( 20 floors ) or higher.
> be certain I'll fall without interruption or landing on a ledge, etc.
> make sure I hit something hard, and that nothing could break my fall.
> avoid windy days ideally, since that could interfere.
> ensure I don't put anyone else in danger, e.g. pick a time when nobody is in the area.

With any method, you should do as much research as you can (eg try the search and advanced search on this site, and put the time and effort in).
I've heard some people suggest the use of aspirin or warfarin, for blood thinning, so in case you didn't die on impact, then bleeding should complete the process.
If you do some good research and gather some valuable info then consider posting a thread, so others can benefit from your research.

Note : As always, please note that I strongly encourage you to seek help with whatever is troubling you. With the right help things can improve. There are many sources of help if you look and reach out. Please seek assistance in any and every way possible. You alone must decide upon your actions and take full responsibility for them, and you should always favour seeking help and keeping out of harm's way.

that's bull, I guess they are pretty heavy for ODing on? I tried taking 60 quetiapine, did nothing but make me fidget a lot!!

If you skim this article you can see how hard it is to OD on Valium.

Valium Overdose | Can You Overdose on Valium?

Whether it is being used for medical or recreational purposes, Valium has the possibility of leading to dependence, substance use disorders, and overdoses.

From 84 ft or just about 28 meters the statistical lethality is over 90%. A hard landing surface would give an even higher percentage. As would a higher point of departure.

Summoning the will to overide the SI and to jump will be the hardest part. Unconsciousness on impact would be quite instantaneous with actual death not far behind.

Please make certain not to land on anyone.

fyi

84' / 28 m = 7 or 8 stories

I've heard some pretty bad stories of people jumping from those sorts of heights.
I would consider 200 feet to be an absolute minimum. 300 feet would be much better.

Have never jumped or fallen somewhere, but had a slightly similar incident when I crashed a motorcycle against a wall of an underpass. Was going pretty fast, the brakes didn't function and it kept accelerating. Felt like being dragged along and couldn't let go of the handlebars because of it. A millisecond before I hit the wall it went to black. Next thing I knew was lying on my back in the underpass, several metres from the crash. First thing I felt was pain in my left elbow. It was a simple abrasion, but it hurt, so, I wanted to hold my right hand to it. But I couldn't. That's when I saw that my right wrist had been shattered and the hand was hanging by the skin from my arm. Ouch. Didn't feel it, but I screamed out of sheer terror at the sight.

From the angle of approach I should have been thrown to the right, directly against the wall. Must have somehow pushed myself away from it and landed to the left. Miracle, tbh. Will one always blackout? I dunno, but it'll certainly help...
