Please don't jump. Every person who jumps will feel fear of death for a second before they hit the ground. I've felt the fear of death (assaulted by a group) and it's the most terrible feeling in the world. There are ways that are more peaceful and painless.

Hey Guest,

I would rather fall and fear the impact than suffer for minutes from a toxic drink or squeezed neck.
With the right positioning partial suspension will not hurt at all. Please don't try it if you are not planning to go.
True. Other methods can also be painless.
I won't.. you fixed me ;) Don't worry about others
Will jumping froom the 10th floor be enough? I live with my parents, going to any other building is not possible...

I have been doing extensive research (both on and off SS) on jumping as a method of CTB. I wanted to revive this thread and add some information I've come across. I chose this thread because it was the oldest of the two jumping "megathreads" I found and this one had more views.
I know that jumping is neither precise nor foolproof, so it's not a method with strict guidelines and procedures like others. But with a megathread instead of everyone creating their own threads that get lost over time, people can get lots of info in one place.

This has probably been the most informative resource I've come across. It's worth a read. Here are some key takeaways:
This is an article covering the stories of survivors of jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge (GGB) and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The article mostly focuses on the experience people had when they jumped. An interesting excerpt: "All the survivors described this experience as tranquil and peaceful. None of them experienced life events or distant memories passing through their minds or before their eyes." This contradicts the common anecdote I read of 'people regretting their choice as soon as they jump'.
This article focuses on the injuries sustained from suicide attempts by jumping and the lethality it has. Here are some details:
I can't find the information from the Geo Stone book that Arak mentioned above (the links aren't working for me). If anyone has access to this information, please share it here.

Jumping off a high building | Lost All Hope: The web's leading suicide resource
Don't commit suicide without reading this site! Lost All Hope has information on everything from drugs and drop hanging to suicide statistics.
- "jumping from 150 feet (46 metres) or higher on land, and 250 feet (76 metres) or more on water, is 95% to 98% fatal"
- "anyone jumping on land should try and land on their head, as this maximises the chances of fatal head injuries"
- "Providing the jump is from sufficient height, certainty of death is very high. Jumping from insufficient height gives a fair chance of survival, with high probability of significant, and often long term, physical injury, plus possibly brain damage."

- "if head and chest injuries occurred, the height fall required for 50% of patients to die was found to be 11 m" [11m is ~36ft]
- "If these injuries did not occur, the height fall required for 50% of patients to die increased to 22 m" [22m is ~72ft]

Have you looked at Lost All Hope's page? Also, if you haven't already, the hanging megathread might have some people who could help.

I just thought this information is better off here now, because the original source has been taken down. If this violates any rules or if the author doesn't want this information to be reproduced on other sites, the admins or mods are free to delete my thread. I hope you don't mind, this is very...

I found a PDF copy of the book, Suicide and Attempted Suicide: Methods and Consequences, by Geo Stone! Another user attached it to this post:

Here is a direct link to the attachment:
The section on jumping starts on page 376, and it is worth the read if this is something you are considering.
Anyone have a PDF of Geo Stone's book?
Anyone have a PDF of Geo Stone's "Suicide and Attempted Suicide: Methods and Consequences?" It's very expensive to buy online. I haven't seen a PDF available online anywhere, but I wonder if it got taken out of search results. I imagine there must be a copy somewhere. Any thoughts?

to me, the biggest hurdles of attempting this (besides finding a place to jump from) are (1) overcoming SI and (2) landing the right way
I'm considering going to the building that I would attempt from (or a one of similar height) regularly so that I can get used to the height, and maybe trying diving / bungee jumping so I at least know what falling the right way would feel like. the last thing I want is fucking up the landing, or standing at the edge for too long and getting the cops called on me.
wondering if anyone has any personal strategies to overcome SI / land the right way? would like to learn from others if they have better ideas.
also @nightshade00 just want to thank you for the resources that you have found and shared here, they're the most informative I've seen on this site thus far regarding jumping

Thank you. I felt like there wasn't one place to go for getting info on jumping, so I wanted to revive the old megathread for when people had questions.
Regarding SI, all I know is that you want to avoid alcohol before a jump. Because it relaxes your body, you'll fall more like a ragdoll and not take as much damage (or so I've heard). I'm not sure if benzos or cannabis would have that effect, though.

Later today, I'll work on going back through this thread and answering any open questions I can. I know some of the old members aren't even here anymore, but maybe others have the same questions.
I just feel like there's not enough hard info on this, so I want to help.
