CTB by train

[Sord17]

Is there anything else that someone would need to consider when it vibes to CTB by train.

There is a station where 5 carriage diesel passenger engines pass non-stop. I'm considering this as a last resort. Since it's non-stop I'm hoping that it'll be more successful. How likely is it to survive being struck by such a think at 60km/h + ? Is there anything else risk aside from injury and trauma that gets overlooked when you CTb this way

Yes, the trauma of the poor soul running the train.

Why would anyone want to harm others by giving them hellish nightmares and maybe then the train operator would him/herself have to get mental health help because someone jumped in front of the train that they were operating?

Just the mental image is too much for me, much less being in the cab of the train and having to watch the ctb play out in real time right in front of their eyes.

PLEASE get the darn idea out of your head and PLEASE do not hurt another poor soul.

Have a wonderful day,

Walter

 

[cakedog]

it's possible but not recommended it's too risky in my opinion
if you fail you would probably never be able to try again

I'm always walking and i know the different bus drivers are all seeing me all the time. Have thought about because of how violent it is (and seemingly unsurviable) would think it is, doing that in front of so many humans though is just. Fuck.

The way I see it, someone will find the remains at some point and that won't be fun for them but that's how life goes. I'll be doing a public CTB anyway because personally I don't want the person who finds me to be someone I actually like anyways.

I admire your compassion but that's not my problem. If it gets the point I've few options I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do.

Finding a body and being the one that killed that person are entirely different things.

Suicide by train, truck, car, etc. is all an unethical, shitty thing to do. Anyone who does so is a selfish, terrible waste of a human in my eyes.

There is always another option. Almost every human on the planet can access a rope or blanket or towel and hang themselves with it at no cost.

It's one thing to make your own choice to end your life. To force someone else to not only witness but inadvertently CAUSE your death is an awful thing to do. If you don't want to be found by someone you care about, inform law enforcement before you carry out your method so that they'll be on the way.

Yeah I am a waste of a human, but that's not relevant to how I'd manage eol for myself. If it's easier on me than say hanging, which I've had alot of problems with, then I'm going to do it. The fact I can walk onto the line shows the network overseers are not prioritising driver safety anyway, I don't get how all responsibility for this trend can be pushed on any individual

Please know that when someone is pushed to their absolute limits it's very difficult to care about the impact of their death on others. Yes it's a shitty thing to do but it doesn't mean that someone is a "terrible waste of a human".
Suicide almost always causes trauma and feelings of guilt for others no matter the method. I never heard about someone ctb via train and thought they're evil or selfish.
Please have some compassion

everyone who's ever committed a heinous act has had a sob story to attribute it to. it's never an excuse and doesn't change the fact that it makes you a lesser person than everyone else, purely because they're choosing to be. let's not pretend there's no difference between the trauma of literally killing someone who felt like making you their killer that day, and simply finding the body.

no one's survived hanging from the shittiest knot made of the shittiest cloth around their neck for 24 hours. it's always possible, always accessible, and saying you've "had issues with it" is just an excuse. then, using the critique as extra ctb jerkoff material is just fucking stupid.

 

[overthrone]

idk much about mental imagery for what can come from the train conductor or witnesses so i'm not gonna say anything on that.
What I can chime in for though is what death by train looks like after death.
First off, you're not just gonna be crushed, you're gonna be split in half or in 3 parts depending on how you lay on the tracks. If the train doesn't immediately split you, you'll have to experience the agonizing pain of being crushed, and then split, so an immediate death is not guaranteed. If you don't care about pain, disregard this.
As for how you'll be found, it's no question, you're gonna be cut up. However, depending on who sees you, how you're on the tracks, forensic evidence, etc, it's possible that you won't immediately be found as a suicide, but possibly a homicide. Anyway, linked below is an image of someone who was hit by a train. As you can see, his body is split, bones and all.
My take? Definitely not a good method. If not for the pain factor, then for how you'll be found and what could possibly come after that.

There are many factors why someone chooses to ctb via train rather than hanging.
First, the death is instant and you do nothing more than lay down on the tracks, unlike hanging which takes more planning and practicing to make it less stressful.
Yes it's a bad thing to do and causes more damage to the driver than other methods, but train conductors are aware that something like that can happen, and they are trained on how to react in that situation. I don't support this method but neither do I shame people who choose it.
Suicide is more or less "selfish" no matter the method and wether the damage is more or less, it's unavoidable. As well as feelings of guilt of the people involved.
People, especially on SaSu, need to be more careful with their words about suicidal people

Just because they are trained on how to handle these situations doesn't mean the emotional burden is lessened. Not to mention the potential emotional trauma inflicted on the passengers.

There is no way to exit this world without causing some pain to others. My brother took his own life in the middle of the night living 30+ miles away, I didn't find the body, didn't even go to the viewing of the body at the funeral home because I knew it would fuck me up, and yet I still think about and grieve him every single day.

I don't blame him at all nor am I angry with him, just describing my experience. There is no amount of trying to be tidy or considerate with your death that'll really lessen the blow. Are family members less "innocent" or more deserving of the pain than a stranger? Why?

All of this telling OP they're a terrible person because they want to CTB with a widely available, near-guaranteed-lethal method in a world where guns are so hard to get (especially if you've already attempted suicide and can't acquire a gun legally), nembutal is impossible to get, where medical euthanasia is, if it's available at all, only reserved for people with terminal medical illnesses who are already at death's door, it feels like bullying and cruelty to me.

The train conductor would get over it. They sign up for that job, if they do it for long enough they're going to encounter some suicides. It comes with the territory. Or they won't get over it -- and then that's just one more victim of whatever trauma caused the original suicide in the first place. Don't blame the victim, blame the pain.

 

[madameviolette]

Why are people attributing feelings to someone they don't know. The whole "you're going to traumatize the conductor" "you're a piece of shit" is disturbing.

Should we not ask ourselves what leads people to resort to such methods to die ? They're desperate. They are not a piece of shit. This is a supposedly pro-choice site, but people seem out of touch with reality.

No one wants to be mangled by a train. NO ONE

When you're desperate you don't think. Also studies show most suicide by train are impulsive during acute crisis. Hanging requires more planning. Even then, someone will find you hanging. At the end of the day you're going to traumatize someone no matter what.

It's already shitty to feel like a burden to society while alive but people also want to make you feel like a burden while suicidal and even after death

 

[lilies.in.heaven]

Anyone who does so is a selfish, terrible waste of a human in my eyes.

That's a very rude thing to say on a suicide forum.
Not everyone has the means of doing PSH or FSH out of their house, and many people live with family.
