Would you jump off a bridge? Why or why not?

[Weebster]

I picked one out a few years ago. It's a few hours away and really tall. I'm scared. I'd die upon landing, but I fear what my mind would experience on the way down. I already suffer from extreme anxiety.

 

[CommitSudoku]

I don't think I could do jumping. Maybe if I was pushed by an invisible force, that would be okay since it would be out of my hands but I'd get relief soon enough. If there's a large chance for me to talk myself out of it, I probably will and I hate that about myself. Maybe if I got really drunk I could just fall over, but I couldn't jump even while in my "right" mind as messed up as my mind is.

I went to the Golden Gate and felt an invisible barrier preventing me, but that was years ago.

No because I'm scared of everything. I'm fearful of walking out of my house let alone jumping off a bridge. That choice and experience would take strength of mind.

 

[Hurt]

No. I am scared of that.

 

[onleana]

if i was desperate enough, yes. im pretty desperate right now lol but im fortunate enough to have other options

 

[Darkover]

if i had the balls to do that i'll of done it by now so no

All the strength one would have left pushed into one final act. It'd be a great triumph thwarting the greatest evils: Life, destiny, God

Other options seem less reliable.
Would taking several pain pills before the long walk to the bridge be helpful or would I just end up slumped over on the ground while some other visitors report me as suspicious?

We have a suspension bridge here over some rocks...70 meters high. I'm tempted but Idk if I could throw myself off. Also who knows how much pain I would feel or if I would survive.

I wonder how a person
can recognize rock bottom? I keep adapting to everything. Only those who recognize rock bottom, I think, can jump.

 

[Symbiote]

My balls tense up when I approach something that's really high up. I don't think I'm not made for heights.

The Golden Gate used to be a good option, with a 99% success rate, but the very heavy patrols have this down to 30 a year out of many more who try- soon the net will be complete and this option will be essentially gone. Jumping from a very high height seems like one of the easiest ways to go- no chance to back out once you jump and less than ten seconds of falling, and a 99+% chance from over 200 feet into water- then drowning sometimes occurs. Of course you can jump onto land but t seems that water give yo two chances to ctb- the impact and drowning, so it might be more reliable.

Two friends of mine did this. I wouldn't because I don't like feeling like I'm falling. It's one of my least favorite feelings. Also they get reported in the news more than other deaths because people like to speculate and there's websites about bridge jumping suicides. I'm not sure I want that.

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

I would if I could build up the courage, I am scared of heights but it is one of my higher rated ways to go, unfortunately I do not live near any very tall bridges, a strong river would have to finish me off.

Just wondering- do you know about whawt height they jumped from- and whether it was most likely instant? Thanks.

 

[TheExpression]

I've already changed my mind many times after putting my head in a noose. My severe vertigo would make jumping from heights something I would be far less likely to go through with. I've thought about it though.

 

[allesistgut]

jumping is one of my preferred methods (the other is hanging). if i do end up going with jumping i'll probably have to use a bridge, though i'd really prefer something more in nature (that likely won't be possible for me though).

and to be honest, i'm not too sure why i prefer jumping as a method for myself.

 

[whatevs]

I would climb a mountain instead and jump there. I quite like hiking. In terms of the fear, I have awful vertigo too but there is something exciting about this method for me. It would be a little win before death to overcome my fear of heights.

Which would you prefer a cliff or a bridge? I saw in the news a young woman who used a cliff.

Different bridges. One was very high, everyone knew right away. The other was medium and their body was missing for a few months. Nobody knew they died for awhile. I talked to both their families after. I think it's good to find a method that avoids ambiguity, but not up to me.

 

[Belljar]

I just read an article about a climber that survived 300 ft fall.

Cliff, and bridge if there is no water where I land.

 

[ambivalent.]

I considered this method for a couple of weeks, but I'd have to be drunk to overcome the fear, and the bridge near me that would surely kill me is pretty hard to access and patrolled pretty regularly.

Ther are certain advantages if it works- it's very fast and there's no chance to change your mind.

It's always worth it to look at the detials- sometimes in cases like this something breaks their fall and it's not really a free fall onto a hard surface.

I doubt it was a straight drop. They probably hit the side of the mountain a few times.

Why no water? I can't land on land. Imagining my broken body scares me.

The patrolmen are the people you face before the final boss lol life does imitate art.

 

[height jumper 69]

Definitely, most instantaneous method available to me

 

[Someone123]

I would jump right off this planet into outer space if I could.

Not afraid?

 

[height jumper 69]

Not afraid?

No

 

[Weebster]

No

Why not? How do I not be afraid?
