Method Thoughts on CTB by motorcycle? 🏍️ ☠️

[ShatteredSerenity]

Curious about people's thoughts on suicide by high speed motorcycle crash? Have you ever considered it? If it was accessible, would you do it?

Whenever I feel suicidal my gut instinct has been to crash my car into a wall or jump from a bridge. Ultimately I decided it was safer and less violent to CTB by nitrogen exit bag instead, but the adrenaline junkie in my heart still contemplates methods of high speed CTB.

The problem with CTB by car crash is the amount of safety systems on modern vehicles. I've had cars capable of 140 mph (225 km/h) which is certainly fast enough to cause massive damage to the vehicle no matter what you hit, but with crumple zones and air bags it's impossible to predict how the driver would fare. You'd definitely get injured, but death is much less certain.

Motorcycles, on the other hand, leave the driver directly exposed in the event of an accident. It's a lot more like falling onto a hard surface. Motorcycles can easily reach 120 mph (200 km/h) which is the terminal velocity of a falling person, and a person would would need to jump from about 1,500 feet (450 meters) to reach terminal velocity. That's about the height of the 125th floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa. It's a pretty safe bet that a fall from that height will be fatal no matter now a person lands.

Helmets are required in many locations, but you can easily remove the helmet before the final acceleration.

The tricky part is finding a suitable location. You need a very strong solid object to crash into, there needs to be enough distance in front to accelerate to high speeds, and it shouldn't put other people at risk.

I've looked extensively for crash targets in my area, and in general anywhere vehicles drive is protected by various forms of guard rails and barriers designed to deflect vehicles from crashing directly into solid objects. It might be easier to find spots outside the city, or in an industrial zone.

Sounds like it could be very painful and a lot could go wrong. I'll be sticking with SN but that's just me

I don't think there has more than 3% of killing you, you are likely to end up disabled with permanent damage at worst, the human body is ridiculously durable, stuff like car accidents are unlikely to kill you realistically

You need a boulder in some random desert

 

[TANETS]

the odds of surviving a motorcycle crash is 90-95 percent. you are just likely to suffer immense pain. wouldnt consider it.

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

Go on any gore site and look at images of horrific motorcycle accident survivors. That should make your decision pretty easy.

As someone who works in emergency medical services and has seen people get fucked up from motorcycle accidents... No. Just no.

Agree. I would put this far down on the list of methods. I did see a MC crash at high speed on a neighborhood street 10 years ago and it was gruesome. That steered me clear of ever considering this type of thing. (And I used to ride and love motorcycles but not for years).

this 3% stat is not about people deliberately trying to kill themselves on a bike.
The drivers there had protective gear and probably did not plan to crash into a wall full speed

 

[bigbang33]

As someone who works on a neurology floor and sees motorcycle crash victims: do not ever attempt that. I can't emphasize this enough. You can become an absolute veggie. It's not guaranteed that you die.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Fuck no. Imo, that honestly should be treated as a non method just like how cutting, OD and so on are treated as non methods. The chances of surviving that is so high

 

[endofline2010]

I was considering it, because I had a 1000cc race bike and a nice straight that went to a t intersection with a solid 8m tall concrete wall behind it.

The problem is, the better rider you are, the harder it will be to do. I think muscle memory would take over, and you would flinch last second.

So for me, it was a no go. I could easily have gotten to 140+ mph in the distance I had before the wall, so it would be instant death, but I know something would go wrong.

 

[ThatStateOfMind]

As long as you don't crash into someone, I don't see an issue with it. I just don't agree with bringing others into your attempt

 

[soonnotkoei]

too many variables, too many ways to survive being fucked up.
don't do it.

I've heard of a method, that was completed by car. But on a bike, it goes like this.

1. Tie thin wire around tree and securely around neck.
2. Set off at incredible speed.
3. Depending on length of wire determines the area your dismembered head would be in, etc.

The story I read, was about a guy doing it in his car. The wires tensional strength was obviously greater than his being, and worked.

I don't know about bike CBT but without a helmet, at speed, hitting a hard surface, you'd have to hope it was at the right place and angle.

Again, this is probably the nearest method that's plausible for bike CBT and is able to be done in isolation.

Anyway, this just popped into my head in thinking about the thread.

 

[wiggy]

Like others have said, not worth the risk. It does sound pretty rad though.

 

[Depressive_Thoughts]

As someone just pointed out, the odds of surviving a motorcycle crash are high....

Someone I know actually did this. They drove their motorcycle into a parked vehicle. It was successful.

Fast successful, or slow successful?
I heard that death by falling can be guaranteed by certain height, but there is still a risk of not being killed right away and dying by blood loss or something

They were taken to the hospital so I don't know how much they suffered. I wouldn't recommend it though. I definitely know it was a suicide attempt because the wife said that he was acting suspicious and giving a goodbye kiss, et cetera. He had financial problems. I would actually think that the risk of being disabled is pretty high. But I've also seen accidents where motorcycles went off huge bridges of flyovers. They ended up killed. In these cases. The mass of the motorcycle will add to your own mass and cause an even greater collision on the ground.It's also possible you just end up with crushed legs etcetera.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

There are just way too many variables in a motorcycle crash outside of one's control to make it a truly viable method. I crashed into a tree once at high speed, head-on, on my dirtbike. Somehow after hitting the tree my body went around it, and none of me actually even hit the tree. The impact was so hard on the tree that the forks were bent in towards the frame and the wheel was bent in half. It was a big ass tree. If my head would have hit that tree head-on going the speed I was going, I think I would have been dead right then and there. My only point is that there are just so many variables with crashes that it's impossible to bank on an outcome. Might just end up in a very, very bad way, but still very much alive. Then you might have to "live" with this new reality.
