Suicide by vehicle crash

[Paralyzed boy]

Hey y'all so basically I'm partially paralyzed and it's only getting worse and I'm miserable. Basically every day I can feel My body continuously give up more and more function and now I even struggle to spoonfeed myself. I haven't had and I do not have the physical strength to hang myself because I'm not able to have the dexterity or the strings to tie a proper rope. My muscles have become flaccid and when I try to flex my muscles it's literally just all fat and no contraction of muscles

I support my philosophy has been basically live day today until the pain becomes unbearable. My only option for suicide is I'm thinking with my last ounce of strength take the car out for a drive and ram it in or drive to the nearest highway and jump off an overpass. I've already been on antidepressants and I'm seeing a psychologist but My life is miserable

I don't want to have to wait it out until I'll become bed ridden. I just want to know what the odds are or how best to commit suicide via car crash. I know it sounds selfish but I've already recorded videos and left a lot of notes on my phone which my parents can read understanding that it's not their fault.



I also have loose ligaments in my neck already so I don't know if that would increase my chance of dying instantly or not.
P.S I've lived a very good life prior to my accident and I'm totally content with what it was but living life without prospects without being able to use fingers and seeing a gradual decline in function every day is just not how I want to continue living. I want to go out With dignity not being eventually confined to a bed or being just a floating head

Hey Paralyzed boy,

I'm really sorry about your situation. Having the strength to keep living through each day is much easier said than done. It is completely understandable why you want to do this.

Despite your loose ligaments, I don't think this will be a quick death. It is very risky since there are many safety features installed in the car. There is a high chance you'll survive but with more pain and suffering, and that's the last thing you need. Some accidents are fatal, but many are not. It is not reliable.

Have you looked at the methods megathreads?

 

[Werewolf]

I'm very sorry to hear you're suffering, what kind of accident were you involved in, if you don't mind me asking?
Are there no medical treatments that can help?

There are actually studies that estimate as much as 7-10% of all single vehicle fatal accidents are possible suicides.
However I wouldn't go this route, there are way to many unknown variables and chances are quite high you end up surviving in much worse condition than you're in now. Or getting trapped in a burning car.

Of course if your able to say crash into say, a concrete wall, at very high speed then I reckon chance of success is near 100% But imagine there are few places in the world where this is possible, roads and highways are after all deigned and built to be safe.

I'm not trying to discourage you from anything but rather think it through very carefully. There are better methods to consider.

Sorry for the rant. I wish you all the best.

Go out with some dignity. What about SN?

I just did some research on this and saw a site (not sure of the source for the study, but just google it) that stated that 43mph is the speed at which a person would have a fighting chance to survive if they were in a head on collision. It stated that if the speed is doubled to 80mph, the force is quadrupled. At 70mph, the chance of surviving a head on collision is 25%. There are a lot of factors involved though, being that it is a head on collision. This implies there is another car involved which is traveling at some speed. This speed would factor into the 70mph to calculate the total force.

I did watch a video a few months ago of a crash test in which a car was slammed into a wall going 120mph. The car was completely crushed and destroyed. The chance of survival there would be almost 0%. Bottom line: to maximize success, higher speed head on into a vertically flat rigid surface that would not break on impact so that the car takes the brunt of the force.

It was a Workplace accident That started in my right shoulder and over The period of five months my quality-of-life has decreased. Since March I haven't been able to use my fingers continuously and have been resorting to using my nose and toes to touch my phone screen while also using text to speech. I'm looking to be getting an MRI soon but my condition has been deteriorating so rapidly I've been too weak to keep in contact with the work insurance bored And it's been too stressful to try to correlate the initial accident with my current condition.

Go out with some dignity. What about SN?

I would like to try I said what the problem is I don't have access to the other medicines That compliment SM. Also I am living with my family. And also I am worried what about failure. I've heard and I've seen what it's like to be locked up in the hospital imagine being locked up in the hospital when you can barely feed yourself how I am now. But how bad my condition is getting I don't know if due to coronavirus SN arrive in time.

Thanks for doing some research I was looking that up to the problem is I don't know of any Blunt surfaces to crash into. I haven't driven in two months due to my growing illness so I haven't even been able to scout out the highway properly. I'm scared that crashing into the guard rail's is probably not enough.

Thanks for the response man I want to die dignified but the paralysis part is a very big factor losing dexterity in my fingers Really sucks the life out of you. I think we all come here for a reason and I know mental illness is something people have lifetime struggles with but for me it's more of the physical and debilitating capabilities to financial ruin And the suffering. My biggest worry is failing

Hey Paralyzed boy,

Have you looked at the methods megathreads?

Yes I have the problem is because of the paralysis I have I lack a lot of the physical dexterity that is lacking. I thought about ordering sodium nitrate but I don't have the drugs to complemented. I actually don't have a history of mental illness and I I'm actually a social worker which is Hella ironic. But obviously you want to maintain your dignity as a person. The only other where I could realistically think of going out to my capabilities is jumping off a building but with coronavirus is very hard to get access to that.

 

[autumnal]

Throwing in the obligatory warning that a vehicle suicide can run the risk of accidentally killing or injuring other drivers, as can jumping from a highway overpass which also has a very traumatic effect on anyone who hits you at the bottom or whose windscreen you go through.

 

[Living sucks]

I thought about ordering sodium nitrate but I don't have the drugs to complemented.

In case you do consider SN .. make sure it's nitrite not nitrate

 

[BizarreBazaar]

If you're looking to make your CTB look accidental, try grilling out some food outside of your car when it's supposed to be wet or cold outside, then bring the grill inside your car to stay "warm". Need to make sure you have enough charcoal.

 

[Cosmiq]

I'm sorry you've been put in this situation.
I've considered this, but only on my motorcycle. I've been studying common motorcycle deaths, and focusing mostly on the ones that happen on the most dangerous roads in my area and only include ones where the rider is the only one involved in the accident.

If I were attempting to do so with car, I guess I'd go a similar route of high speed and going off a cliff, no seatbelt, at night, bust breaklight and shut off headlight when approaching the spot. But the additional protection would make me want to mix in some medications and figure out a way to deploy airbags ahead of time.

 

[Blue Portal]

Try partial suspension if SN is hard to get and money is an issue.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I'm so sorry, Paralyzed boy. I'm also here due to physical issues. I'm just living the day too. Today I'm here. Tomorrow who knows. So sorry what you're going through. It sucks when your body is not the same anymore I miss a lot being healthy but I can't go back. Just cope for the rest of my life and give my best everyday. But there will be a day when I say enough.

No No NO No No NO NO ! I am Not saying this lightly but this method is too dangerous and the risk of injury to yourself is very high !
1) Dangerous to you lets focus on you
2) legal ramifications
3) media
1) You have admitted you have not got lot of strengh due your condition and you want to drive at high speed. This is very dangerous because will lose control of the car very easily. This is the most likely scenario .This will cause to crash in to poeple, motorway walls . As result you will end up in hosptial
You will most likely have broken bones, potential loss of a limb, already you are partially paralysed you could end up quardparlegic( cant move 4 limbs). The higher the speed the higher the risk of damage to your body which is already fraglie.


2) Legal issues so much can go wrong no matter what you plan. Laws vary depending where you live

- When you drive over the motorway bridge the car will land on someone and likely injure or kill them due to the weight of the car.
Manslaughter charges, death by driving if they die
or
if they live and get seriously injured you will get sued for being neligent driver( i live in the UK)

-Driving above the speed limit is illlegal
-
3)The media is the devil
Media coverage you will be painted as a selfish asshole . Nobody will care about your disablity
The world is very disablist . I am an able bodied female and i have seen how society does care not for disabled people.
We have equality laws but it does not for enough. There is so much prejudice and hate for them it is so sad.

I am sorry for all that have gone through . I hope you find peace.
How old are you?
Tell us about your self?
Please take care of yourself

Agree fully with your warnings, but...

- When you drive [off] the motorway bridge the car will land on someone and likely injure or kill them due to the weight of the car.​

The OP was talking about using either a vehicle crash or driving to a motorway bridge and jumping off on foot. They didn't mean driving their car off the top of a motorway bridge onto the traffic below. But that visual is pretty damn hilarious

I don't want to have to wait it out until I'll become bed ridden. I just want to know what the odds are or how best to commit suicide via car crash. I know it sounds selfish but I've already recorded videos and left a lot of notes on my phone which my parents can read understanding that it's not their fault.

This article might give some comfort if done right you won´t feel a thing if this is your only method then you should remove the airbag maybe by hitting the front of the car with something and then cut it out. And I am not sure what you intend to drive into maybe a large tree? The best option would be to drive into those armored excavators with a lot of speed.

I am not sure what the success rate is but keep in mind if it goes wrong you will suffer an agonizing death, I know people hate when I speak about gore in details but it´s important to have the pro´s and cons because I don´t want people to suffer but I have seen plenty of car accident videos where the person was still alive one where a woman´s eye hanged out and she clearly would survive and a way worse accident where the person definitely died but the car was totally scrambled with razor sharp metal where the man was stuck with his head under the door with the metal cut into his throat and there was nothing to do other than let him bleed out so pros and cons.

Jesus Christ it's fucking tough man I will try hanging but I don't have any dexterity in my fingers and my elbows are completely shot. I'm losing bodily functions day by day. I'm in such a predicament because I've been using text to speech for two months now and I know sodium nitrate will come in time won't come in time. I feel completely trapped and tortured because on one hand I don't wanna live like this any more excruciating physical pain laying in bed and only being able to set up for 20 or 30 minutes at a time then going back to bed. The worst part is the longer I wait the Wicker I get the weaker I get in eventually I'm scared it will be out of my hands

Hey man thank you I was off I am a 23-year-old with no prior mental illness. I actually suffered a workplace accident in December and initially it wasn't that bad the condition continuously got worse and worse and worse until it started spreading and I was getting nerve damage throughout my entire body. I fell into depression and I fell in the shower and broke both my elbows and since then I broke my spinal cord to or have partial damage that's getting worse each day it all started with the right shoulder injury and then the left shoulder and then my finger is giving out and then depression and that's where I am right now.

Psychologically I can't cope anymore because knowing that there is no treatment knowing that I have too much on my plate torn shoulder is broken elbow's spinal cord damage I love such a terrible life now all I do is think about suicide because the life I'm living only gets worse each day because my spinal cord keeps getting crushed and I continue to lose function I have so much mood swings because of my spinal cord damage I've lost control of my neck muscles all my muscles have gone flaccid. The partial paralysis all happened in a period of a month and it's only getting worse because my muscles are flaccid there's nothing to stabilize my spinal cord anymore and I can only set up for half an hour at a time and only now am I going to get an MRI

Try partial suspension if SN is hard to get and money is an issue.

I wish dude but I am partially paralyzed and I broke both my elbows No strength left to make those good tight nights

You most likely will success there are just better methods if you get the nerve to do it like train decapitaion I can even show you pictures even by two couples doing it, it doesn´t matter how fast the train is going or if how many people are doing it. I saw a couple (two people) ctb using the train to decapitate themselves.

Do you have family?
Wait there is nothing doctors can do for you? I am so sorry. What country do you live in.

I am 23 too and live in the UK.
I turned 23 this week i spent my birthday crying about how my life is over because i am not where i am supposed to be. You are my age you are dealing with this.

Please take care of yourself and please keep safe

Worst catch the bus methods ever. these methods involve a high risk of damage to the body.
I am female and l noticed men love the gun for ctb.
1) The gun: Make a mistake , poor positioning you will end up blowing off your face and end being permantely disfurged. Look at katie stubbifeled and i seen various youtubes videos of it gone wrong.
2) Train: Lose your limbs and be permanetly disfigured if it all goes wrong
3)Jumping off a motorway
I want to overdose or drink a posion , if not i want to die using carbon monoxide posioning in a tent in a beauty spot.
