Help Jumping

How do you ensure that you go head first when jumping?

I think it would be very difficult to control cause of the panic. I'm very scared about it

I was wondering if I could tie a weight to my neck or something.

I was wondering if I could tie a weight to my neck or something.

I never thought about that. I'd need to look into it. I can't imagine landing on my legs. It'd be so bad

Yes. I've hear some users stories where they become paralyzed or have many medical issues caused by falls that failed. It's horrific so I need to ensure that I can be successful.

I'm curious too.

It depends on the height, in most cases you don't have enough height to have any control over your body, hence why you just end up free falling. The best bet would be to find a height that guarantees demise no matter how you land, albeit that might be easier said than done.

Look into 'Head First' Bungee Jumping. There is such a thing. Maybe it clues you in on the free fall jump technique.

All I know is that you CAN die from falling double your height but that it's not a guarantee. I used to converse with a user, FightClub, who jumped and became disabled after. They ended up passing with SN. They strongly discouraged me from doing so, but some days I think when I'm really drunk, I could go sit on top of a parking garage and "slip".

I have thought about this too. I wonder if gymnastics or diving practice would be prudent as it would train some body control.

That would be preferable, but not guranteed.

I'll look into that

That's who I was referencing for users that were severely injured. I'm sad that she passed. I remember reading her post. She and others are why I'm trying to make sure it's a guaranteed death, or at least a high chance.

I'm sure there is practice that can go into overriding SI, but it would be tough to train.

Do you think having a partner would make someone feel more courageous than being alone?

Maybe if you don't think about the possibility of them dying and you not dying and then being charged for something stupid

Wouldn't someone die if it's over 20 floors?

The megathread for jumping said the height should be at least 50 meters; I would do more just in case. Not sure if 20 floors is more than that

I think it depends on the partner, but I don't want to bring someone else into this. It would hurt me to know I'm the cause for the death of another.
