Jumping off a cliff

[WaitingAllMyLife]

I'm just curious - why don't we read about jumping off a cliff more often? Seems like it would be an excellent option.

Fear of heights and SI probably. Also many people might not live near a cliff and would prefer to not travel out far

no way of knowing if it will be successful due to many factors regarding the cliff ( i.e. ocean below, height, landing on an underlying ledge of rock etc. )

Have you sat on a ledge at height? I think, when high enough, you're pretty certainly dead. But man, it takes some serious courage to push yourself off. I couldn't do it.

The accounts I've read of (autopsies) reveal that the people that achieve this purposefully are high out of their minds, usually on alcohol and cocaine.

The people that jumped on 9/11 had a worse choice to make - I can't even begin to imagine what would have gone through their systems in their final moments.

Do autopsy reports actually show that? Is it really the case that people need to be drunk or under the influence of drugs to find the courage to do it?

Does si mean social insurance in this context?

I have a solution for the fear. Ill just capture a large group of lemmings and run off the cliff with them

Always easier with company
