Discussion Jumping off bridge/into river - anyone tried it?

[LittleJem]

There was a body in the river today being taken out by the river police. It could be me!!!!!!!

I know jumping off a bridge is painful, but maybe drowning is relatively quick. I keep just wanting to jump in - I am near the river.

I'm trying to hold back still so I don't upset people, but have had enough.

Thoughts on dying in the river? Drowning? Any failed attempt stories to share? Any drugs I could take to make it painfree?

I tried once to drown in the ocean...but could not do it. I think it would be very very painful and distressing. I know they say after a few minutes its peaceful but I think those few minutes would seem to last forever!

whats the height of the bridge? if its too short maybe its will be painfull

 

[Vault of Memories]

I've considered one that's 876ft high.

you dead.its 250 m.

just from the shock of water it can be fatal.
thats the height one of the tallest building in here

do some google:

There are two things that might kill on impact: high local pressure on the surface of the body - this can cause lacerations, bleeding, fractures; and a deceleration of the body that causes internal organs (the brain or the kidneys) to rip loose, resulting in severe internal bleeding and death.
btw !

It would be a London river bridge...

I found one story of someone who jumped and survived (that one from Tower Bridge)
