jumping

[sadanddetrimental]

hi y'all,
i'm thinking of plans and options and ideas, and i'm looking to get feedback, tips, or thoughts. i have serious anxiety and pussy tendencies and no guts, so i know anything that requires serious follow through that's long, just wont happen. i've been looking into jumping, i'm debating a bridge somewhere in boston? i've looked up a couple and the tobin bridge is the tallest, which is about 254ft tall. i think it needs to be 250ft to be fatal? should it be over water? is it better to hit water or ground? which has a better fatality rate?

also was wondering if there's any help with that to take a load of pills before it. is there any possibility you could get sick after jumping and it causing something to make you survive because you got sick or something? i need tips and ideas please. thank you so much!
there's also the royal gorge bridge in virginia, which is about an 11 hour drive from me. but, might trigger that follow through aspect. what do you guys think?

Check out this thread: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/royal-gorge-bridge.24260/

And I would not jump anything that is under 1,000 feet just in case. My fear of survive after the jump and be coma or paralyze for the rest of my life is even worser than death itself.

And I prefer concrete. Anything hard surface, rocks, concrete, etc.. I wouldn't even water, snow, pines tress, woods, etc.. lol. Those thing can cushion your fall and help you survive.

I don't know anyone who "truly" want to CTB and want to wake up paralyze or end up in psych ward afterwards. So yeah, aim high, the highest height you can find.

 

[MaybeMaybeKnot]

Technically anything over six feet can kill you, if you land on your head. In climbing, anything over 30-50ft is considered "the coffin zone." 254ft is plenty high. That's like a 25 story building. At those heights, there's not much difference between landing on concrete, water, or sand. None of those items compress and you'll be traveling too fast for them to safely decelerate you.

I will be jumping 1000 ft to my death. Controlling how you fall from what I've read is quite difficult but if you jump from a sufficient height onto an unforgiving surface, you will probably die. Just do your research and make sure it's high enough. You can't afford to screw this up because you'll just be turned into a vegetable which would really suck! My plan to overcome the SI is to just commit. It sounds easy enough but i've been practicing freefalling into foam pits at a trampoline arena close to me. Obviously it's not as scary as 1000 ft but it's helping me overcome my SI by just simply committing to falling. I will do this sober. No alcohol or drugs. Once you learn to control your mind and actually commit to jumping it shouldn't be too difficult.

1000 feet is what it takes to reach terminal velocity, so you can totally control your body position, but at that speed it won't matter. If you stand on the ledge and fall backwards, it's very peaceful. The first 1000 ft takes 6 seconds, then it's 3 seconds/1000 after that.

U uk???

 

[metalchic_74]

Check to see if there are any cell phone towers in your area. My ex used to work for a company that did repairs on them. He told me of guys that accidentally fell off died instantly

 

[BridgeJumper]

I will be jumping off a 40 meter railway bridge in Germanyonto concrete ground. Im satisfied it will kill me. Maybe Im overly optimistic.

 

[sadanddetrimental]

U uk???

are you asking if i'm in the UK? no, i'm in the US.

U uk???

sorry if that's like "slang" on here or something, i'm new here and dumb.

i saw you'd survived two bridge jumps. is there a way to private message you? or does this site only allow comments and such?

 

[Kodama]

I'll choose water... 250ft is enough. If the impact don't kill you, it will let you unconcious and you'll be drowned painlessly

yeah i've only picked that state because it has some decent "reviews" and stories about it online, but it's a pretty far drive from me. should i venture out further, maybe the bridge in CO? the royal gorge? if i'm gonna do it, i might as well make sure it's 100%.

 

[Kodama]

Any high Dam near ?

 

[sadanddetrimental]

the best two options i see so far: the royal gorge in CO (955 feet) or the new river gorge in VA (876 feet)- would the little difference make a difference? should i just drive to CO?

 

[Kodama]

No différence. Both are high enough !

 

[toomuchgrief]

@sadanddetrimental

Depends on if you like jagged edge rocks or water. here the pics of the two places.

Here is the New River Gorge in VA . Lost of trees, tons of water below. Nice secenary.

And here is the Royal Gorge bridge. Alot of jagged rocks, too many rocks and mountains. Barely any trees, and definately not alot of water.

This 2 place scenary wise it 180 degree different, look wise. But Both are high enough. depends on what sceneary you like.
I personally prefer hard surface, so I prefer the second pic bridge. I don't trust water. I rather hit myself on those rocks and let it split my skull in half, but that just me lol.
If I jump down those rocks, and those rocks crack my skull, neither way I be bleeding to dead down the bottom anyways.

I've thought about this way myself.

I'm going to jump off the Royal Gorge. The water below also appears to be very shallow. I'm almost 1000% certain you will die from this jump. It's so damn high.

 

[fightingsioux]

It's simply not necessary to travel long distances to super-high, exotic locations unless the natural beauty or symbolism of the location means something to you.

The Golden Gate Bridge is only about 250 feet above the water, you can easily find that height in your own locality.

Regardless of the landing surface--concrete, rocks, water, trees, sand, a pile of marshmallows--your body will suffer massive blunt force trauma and because of the sudden stop, all your internal organs will tear loose.

Unless like an Olympic diver you wish to be assigned a 1 through 10 score by any spectators, it doesn't matter one bit if you land on your head or your little toe or your ass. Same exact result.

Virtually no method is 100%, but it's not 100% sure that you'll survive your morning shower or trip to the grocery store. Be real!

If you're having trouble estimating heights, one story of a building is figured as 10 or 12 feet, 12 is more accurate IMHO. Just look around your area to get a general idea.

50 feet (four or five stories) should do it. 100 feet (eight to ten stories) will do it. If you're really an anal worrywort, about 200 feet (anything over ten stories) is just not survivable (please skip the one-in-ten-million doubtful Google stories about falling from an airplane or the like, BS.

1000 feet? Just silly. Again, unless you're interested in scenic places, which is totally up to you.

Makes my day! I'll go to the grocery tonight, just after a good shower !

It beautiful isn't it? Those rocks very tempting to me, as I need something hard to give me blunt force injuries or at least yank my heart out so I stop breathing.

I still debate between that bridge and a shotgun to my head. It easy for me to get a shotgun, but the thing is I never hold a gun before in my life so I not sure if I can aim correctly.

I still think a 1,000 feet free fall would cause more of instant death. Gun to the head I'm afraid if it not hit the right part of the head, you would be laying there in pain before you loss of blood.

I don't know. I want to go to that bridge in Jan (the day my toddler died. My baby died in January). I want to have the same date of dead as my baby.
I still have some stuff to take care. If this bridge fail, I just put a shotgun to my head then.

What would you chose @RedPanda? Shotgun to the head, or 1000 feet free fall?

oh and @RedPanda
I would go the month that less wind. Somehow I don't trust this wind thing, I picture the wind might slow down my fall and help me survive.

Hell, the more I think about the chance of survive, now I think maybe it best to blast a shotgun to my head then.

@fightingsioux
Sir fightingsioux, do you think strong wind might effect the speed of my fall and help me survive?

Hahahaha, sorry, couldn't help but laugh at landing on a pile of marshmalllows.
I'm mainly going to the Royal Gorge (yes 1000ft) because it's very beautiful. I want my last view to at least be spectacular before i take the plunge.

 

[Kodama]

My planed spot... Beautiful too and an easy access to a 240ft jump into cold water.

I've never considered shooting myself so it's not even an option. I've always wanted to jump. I've done bungee jumping and skydiving and i love the sensation of falling. I have no fear of heights so this method seems ideal for me.

By the way i'm not so sure wind would play a huge factor in your descent. You are falling 1000 ft! Which is insanely high. The blunt force trauma the body will endure at this height is going to be brutal.

It will probably be one of the most gruesome and violent deaths ever. Guaranteed closed casket.

I've seen aftermath photos of people that committed suicide by jumping and it's really gruesome. I guess i kind of feel sorry for the person that has to pick up my remains.

 

[toomuchgrief]

wao @Kodama
that a nice location. Beautiful scenery too

@RedPanda

Let hope strong wind won't slow down our fall speed. That bridge can be quite windy up there, during the months where strong win come in.

btw, you would want to go when the snow melt, I don't trust snow neither, snow can be a cushion to help your fall.

 

[Kodama]

wao @Kodama

Yep... i used to MTB ride a lot in this area before my "flash" depression...
3 weeks ago a guy CTB from here, it's why i'm considering this spot now (prefer to jump into water and disappear)

How difficult is it to fall head first when jumping from your experience? Does it take practice or can it be done on the first try?

 

[fightingsioux]

Practice? Practice? How exactly would you practice that?

I'm not sure why people obsess over landing on their head, oh well...

Please read my post from the other day: unless like an Olympic diver you want any spectators present to award you style points from 1 to 10, when jumping from a sufficient height it just doesn't matter whether you land on your head or your toes or your ass.

Two things happen almost simultaneously. First, you suffer major blunt force trauma (this is what most coroners actually write on the death certificate as the cause of death for jumpers.) The ground is the club, your body is the target. Right now, pick up a book or a heavy plate or your laptop, hold it at arm's length above your head and drop it. Hurts doesn't it? Now imagine your body falling one or two hundred feet and hitting the ground. Major blunt force trauma: you're dead.

Want to try another little experiment? Stand on a chair. Throw yourself onto the floor; land on your head or your shoulders or your front or your back or your butt. Don't want to do it? Of course not, because your common sense is telling you that it would hurt like hell and you'd probably injure something. The chair is about 18 inches high. Again, imagine falling one or two hundred feet. Have I said major blunt force trauma?

The second thing that happens virtually simultaneously is simply physics in action. The exterior of your body and your entire muscular and skeletal system come to an abrupt, screeching halt. But all your internal organs, including your brain, keep traveling for an instant, tear loose and smash into your chest wall or other solid parts of your skeleton. Basically your insides look like someone took an eggbeater to them.

Read my first post for some height estimates: one or two thousand foot scenic places aren't necessary; one or two hundred feel will do the trick.

 

[SECTS777]

Well don't make the same mistake I did. Jumped 50ft and survived. Was really drunk, but landed feet first. Woke up a day later in hospital with every bone from the knees down broken, punctured lung and cracked ribs. Took 16 weeks to learn to walk again and a year to wean myself off crutches because of my balance. The worst thing from the ordeal is the embarrassment that comes after you wake up realising you failed and family/friends judging you. Could also add the constant reminder of pain in my ankles and walking with a limp that people always ask about. Can't run anymore since both ankles were fused back on and have limited mobility. It is what it is.

 

[toomuchgrief]

@fightingsioux
Thank you Sir for your explaination.
@RedPanda
You might want to read this, or anyone who plan to jump might want to read this.

A person who major in Physic answer me said this regarding this 1,000 feet bridge:
[[ The best shot of survival is to hit your body on those jagged rocks first, at as high an elevation as possible, so it can break down your impact as you continue to free fall down (if you are almost all of the way down, hitting the water or mud adjacent to the river would probably be better).
You can have some slight impact on what direction you fall, you could get lucky with crosswinds, and you might push off towards a rock wall as you leap. ]]

So basically it is POSSIBLE to survive this bridge, this is why I refuse to go on windy time, nor time where it fill with snow.
Plus you can't control where you land, like if you land on the mud part of the river below, who knows it might be a cushion on your fall.

Now I regret said I want my head hit the jagged rocks first. Bad idea. Because it will break down my impact.
Yeah look at this pic below. Yeah, last thing I want is survive.
Perhaps I should rethink this jump method and hell, get a damn shotgun and blow my brain off.
