Method jumping

[justafcknloser]

real talk. so i expressed that i wanted to jump off a parking garage a few days ago. it's 7 stories tall. and people kept telling me its too short and how jumping is so unpredictable and such. today i saw that a woman passed from jumping off a 4 story parking garage in a city really close to me. and im just feeling really disheartened. because i cant fail. but i also haven't had any luck with finding taller building i have access to.

nah if you don't land on your feet or anything i honestly think you'll have a near 100% chance of success

see that's what i was thinking! because it'd be on straight concrete. like it's not over water or something. but i got a lot of replies that i need to find a building 15+ stories

yeah but it would definitely hurt. the reason people recommend higher jumps is because death- or losing consciousness will be near instant.

70 feet is enough to kill you pretty quickly but sometimes its a matter of being caught too. not just as a hostage situation, but someone on the ground could call an ambulance. LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of population) for jumping is 48 feet, so jumping from 60 feet is the minimum height i would jump. the higher the height, the better until you reach a height that you will hit terminal velocity.

you can still be recovered even while your unconscious- that should go without saying.

I myself am jumping a 120ft bridge over concrete in april.

hope your ctb goes well <3

I jumped 8 stories and survived. I'm crippled. Do not do it. Any other method would be better.

i appreciate you replying. i'm so sorry that happened. i don't really have access to any other method that's the problem.

Then choose life. Life as it is now is better than the same life while crippled...

if choosing life really felt like an option to me, i wouldn't be thinking about jumping off buildings.

I feel that. What about bridges?

you do not have to choose life - just keep breathing in and out - it is simple

you have been given very good advice from someone who has experience at what you wish to attempt. you should take it very seriously. 6 floors is too often, not enough. do you have experience with diving? if not, you have no idea how to land. even if you do, i am tipping that experience is not from 6 floors high, which then means you are very likely to over rotate. to do it from 6 floors, you will need a perfect belly whacker, or go in head first. but do not put your arms above your head, because then your head might be protected from fatal, but not horrific injuries

if live is bad now, just imagine how bad it will be if you survive that fall

majority of bridges here don't have pedestrian access or have suicide nets. but i could try doing some research and finding one a few cities away or something.

it's not that i'm not taking their advice seriously. i've taken in a lot of the information people have given me on here. it's why i haven't jumped. it's why i'm still trying to look for other options and be smart about it. it's just feeling a little frustrating when it's such an unpredictable thing.

May I ask why you don't have access to other methods?

Jumping definitely wouldn't be my first option, you are doing a good job thinking it all through.

Wondering why you haven't thought about any other methods? Not trying to be rude or anything like that.

7 stories

From what I've read, this could easily lead to a nightmare situation of being crippled, "saved" after numerous surgeries. See the jumper above.

I know I don't have the courage to jump, but it seems to me that if you can do it, you might as well go somewhere absurdly high. I admire jumpers from spectacular bridges. But I'd let my whole life collapse and go bedridden before that.

i mean what other methods are completely free.

i mean what else is a good free option

as you said you've heard a lot of people tell you that is not enough and i agree. its not to be rude or demean your plan, we just want you to get what you want with no chance of failing. please look into a higher spot. if you live close to mountains or a canyon that could also be an option it doesn't just have to be a high rise
