I wonder how he could have survived a free fall from a 39 story high building! Ofc because of the car, but how  Discuss how you think he survived. | 2010-09-03 14:41:00 Author: Jonaolst  Posts: 935 |
| If I remember, when you press the "Jump" button repeatly when falling, you may survive the fall with minimum health. Oh wait... | 2010-09-03 14:44:00 Author: gdn001  Posts: 5891 |
| I heard it was 40. But yeah, the car was the reason he survived. The same thing (-25 stories or so) happened in NZ a few weeks ago. I also read that spreading your body weight helps. Plus a whole bunch of luck. ._. | 2010-09-03 14:49:00 Author: midnight_heist  Posts: 2513 |
| Ages ago I read something which is apparently true... Some guy tried to kill himself by jumping off a building, but he landed in a window cleaner's net or something a few meters down... But on the way down he passed his flat, where a bullet had come flying through the window and hit him in the head which killed him. The bullet had come from a gun shot by the guy's father, who for some reason regularly fired this gun, which was never loaded t the guy's mother. This time the suicide guy had loaded the gun hoping that his mother would be shot dead and he would inherit her money, but he had gievn up waiting for it to happen so jumped. Yeah, I dunno. I'm tired. It's probably on the internet somewhere. | 2010-09-03 14:50:00 Author: ARD  Posts: 4291 |

| What a shame. Can you imagine surviving that? | 2010-09-04 03:36:00 Author: qrtda235566 Posts: 3664 |
| Silly Chuck Norris, he can never die. | 2010-09-04 03:36:00 Author: MrFunctionality  Posts: 637 |
| So what your saying is, i should've jumped from a higher floor? | 2010-09-04 03:48:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| Pssh... only 39 floors? Talk to the guy who survived 47 floors. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/04/nyregion/04fall.html Also interesting... http://www.oddee.com/item_96746.aspx | 2010-09-04 03:59:00 Author: Enlong3 Posts: 357 |
| Thats just sad, I mean when your fully recovered your being transferred straight to a mental hospital. ..... So if your gonna suicide which is dumb...do it the right way sheeshh.. >.> | 2010-09-04 04:10:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Aaaagh bad grammar everwhere!! It's not, 'if your gonna suicide' it's 'if your going to (gonna) commit suicide' Also @with_blood_skys: that's not cool, don't say, if your gonna do it, do it right. it's just a ****ed up thing to say. also it's skies not skys | 2010-09-04 04:14:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Honestly, I feel bad for him just because he didn't get to die. | 2010-09-04 04:27:00 Author: Bremnen Posts: 1800 |

People who "try" to suicide are ignorant and blant. So if your going to do it, at least do it right. Do you want to be alive with your body in terrible pain? Do you want to go straight to a mental hospital for basically life after fully recovered? No...It's my opinion. Sorry. | 2010-09-04 04:47:00 Author: Unknown User |

You don't know anything about this person or his situation so do the human thing and show some sympathy rather than being a judgemental little........... | 2010-09-04 05:00:00 Author: MrFunctionality Posts: 637 |
| Because I'm on an iPhone im just gonna say, he didn't plan on living, don't use the word ignorant if you don't know how to use it. ****. | 2010-09-04 05:02:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I think he means, if you go to commit suicide and you live, your ignorant because you didn't do it in a way that would garauntee your death? Either way thats pretty harsh. When you jump off of a building you pretty much expect to die. | 2010-09-04 05:07:00 Author: Bremnen Posts: 1800 |
| Dunt do suicide is stupid for dumb. | 2010-09-04 05:20:00 Author: qrtda235566 Posts: 3664 |
| Oh well, I'm a human being. I have flaws but committing suicide regardless is ignorant and blant. Even if you "live" try something to end your misery. I have no regards to anyone committing suicide if you try, as well I'm not going to pity you either, you better hope your god watches over you. I'd kill you myself being so **** stupid. Anyway, seriously be true....if you were to "live" you wouldn't want to suffer? Or even go to a mental hospital? Your life is over after you make your final choice, if I was there I would have encouraged him to be honest. Sure after someone reads this they'll say "Oh he's sick! Disgusting, stupid, ignorant" Call me what you will, I'm here to survive. Not to stop people from acting dumb. I think I'll be on my way now, this topic will be the death of my account if I continue. | 2010-09-04 05:26:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Enough of calling each other ignorant, thanks. This is a rather unsavory topic for a friendly forum... I'm tempted to lock it. However, I would hope that the man decides - during the long period of thinking time he's going to have in traction - that it was a mistake. Apparently there are some stats somewhere that say some people who attempt suicide by jumping off buildings (or similar, i.e. when there's a delay between the commencement of the act and the conclusion) actually change their minds on the way down. I would hope that if anyone here was feeling bad enough that suicide crossed their mind, they would speak to someone and get some help. | 2010-09-04 05:28:00 Author: BabyDoll1970  Posts: 1567 |

I would hope that if anyone here was feeling bad enough that suicide crossed their mind, they would speak to someone and get some help. Call me blunt, but I have absolutely nothing against suicide. It's sad that people feel the need to take their own life, sure. But, it isn't anybody's business if they do decide to. It's their life, it's their choice. Quite frankly, I think the fact that "suicide" is such a taboo subject actually drives people towards it more and more. If somebody is experiencing suicidal thoughts they would be afraid to talk to anybody about it because it's seen as "abnormal". It's viewed as an entirely negative thing that should be shunned and spurned. People have such harsh feelings towards the concept of suicide, and when you think about it... Would it make you feel any better if you were suicidal? You would feel separated from everybody else. You would feel as though you could not talk to anybody about the subject. Think about it! If everybody constantly complains about how "people who commit suicide are terrible" and how "suicide is such a wretched thing"... Who is going to want to discuss it in public? Why would somebody that really needs to talk about it have any desire to these days? If anything they would feel like it would ostracize them from society... Possibly, further ostracize them from society (since that may very well be their problem in the first place). If people were just a little bit more open towards suicidal tendencies perhaps people in such a situation would not feel as trapped, confused, and hopeless... Perhaps if society would welcome such discussions with more open arms, suicidally depressed persons might feel as though they can "come out of the closet" and get help without shredding their reputation, and how people view them as a person. Furthermore, when you're in a state of suicidal depression there is most certainly a tipping point. Something like that could very well be the "straw that broke the camel's back". I realize that a lot of people's opinions on suicide will be based off of their religious beliefs... That's, again, their business entirely. In my opinion their religious beliefs would best be kept to themselves, especially with such a topic like this. Nobody enjoys having alternate religious viewpoints shoved in their face, and if that certain person just happens to be suicidally depressed I can guarantee that they will not appreciate a "you shouldn't commit suicide because X god will hate you" type of comment. It's so negative, and it's certainly nothing to brighten the mood. You would probably do better getting a clown, even if the person suffers from coulrophobia. Again, this is another "straw that broke the camel's back" type of issue. Not only that, but such a thing can further burden somebody with stress. Typically stress would be a BAD thing, more so when one is SUICIDALLY DEPRESSED. Of course, all of this would vary from person to person. But, I'm sure they would be in far greater need of a friend than a religion. Some of you may feel differently, but it's really the person who happens to be suicidally depressed's decision... Even though you think you might know them very well, and that a religion might help them you can't really be certain, can you? I mean, if you previously thought that they were perfectly happy, perhaps you actually don't know them very well at all. In fact, I think it's far too common these days that people conceil their true nature and feelings from others. Sometimes to the point where they become a completely different person around others. I would go into more detail and discuss this better, but it's very noisy here at the moment... I'm tired, angry about something unrelated, and I can't really concentrate much. On a side note, its actually "If you are going to commit suiced." Bugger! You beat me to it, haha. edit: Yay for another post I'll probably regret later. | 2010-09-04 06:34:00 Author: microchirp Posts: 412 |

(Seriously, why do people feel the need to brag someoe else survived worse?) Because the term terminal velocity is lost on so many people? After a certain point it might as well be the same distance. | 2010-09-04 07:25:00 Author: microchirp Posts: 412 |
| Because the term terminal velocity is lost on so many people? After a certain point it might as well be the same distance. It is estimated that the human body will reach 99% of terminal velocity after falling 1,880 feet (573 meters) which takes anywhere from 10-14 seconds. With normal posture and normal atmospheric pressure, this is a speed between 117 and 125 miles per hour, or approximately 54 meters per second. Another source I found stated that a human would have to fall over 400 yards (1,200 feet) prior to achieving terminal velocity. Now, a building story is approximately 12.5 feet. Using the lower number of 1,200 feet and the very basic information above, you would have to fall from approximately the 96th floor balcony to achieve terminal velocity. So, 6000 feet is to some extent worse than 39 floors. | 2010-09-04 07:45:00 Author: Incinerator22  Posts: 3251 |
| So, 6000 feet is to some extent worse than 39 floors. Oh, I never said that 6000 feet wouldn't be a difference from 39 stories. I'm just saying. There's a point where it won't really make much of a difference anymore... Unless you burn up in the atmosphere. | 2010-09-04 07:55:00 Author: microchirp Posts: 412 |
| Call me blunt, but I have absolutely nothing against suicide. It's sad that people feel the need to take their own life, sure. But, it isn't anybody's business if they do decide to. It's their life, it's their choice. No, it's not the business of their family or loved ones, is it? It's not the business of the kids who discover the body of someone who's decided to hang themselves in the local park. Yet people are invariably affected by that person's "choice" - and never for the better. A guy we knew had his business go bust and he found himself in a million dollars worth of debt. Rather than declare bankruptcy and do the best he could, he killed himself and left his wife to deal with the creditors and providing for their children. You really think that wasn't her business? Come on. I would say that many people who get to the point of deciding to commit suicide are not in their right mind, for whatever reason. If I was planning to end my life while in a drug-induced downer, or severe clinical depression (or whatever) I'd certainly want someone to give enough of a ******* about me to make it their business and intervene - or at least try to. | 2010-09-04 13:46:00 Author: BabyDoll1970 Posts: 1567 |

| Wow. This reminds of the beginning of the movie "Kick-***". Except I don't think that guy lives. | 2010-09-04 17:08:00 Author: eagerneph  Posts: 1536 |
| Alright, alright... Well, it's sad. It's sad, but I really don't have much to say about it - Babydoll covered that in her last post. I just think that people shouldn't be so insensitive around here. People's choices, a lot of the time affect other people. Especially when they choose to commit suicide. It doesn't show that they're ignorant in their choice of how to commit suicide, or that they're ignorant because they want to commit suicide anyway. I dunno. I just am peeved with some of the the things people are saying in this thread. | 2010-09-04 17:24:00 Author: Richasackboy  Posts: 619 |

It actually might not simply be just people who jump off buildings insomuch as the majority of people who commit suicide in general. From what I've read, most people who attempt to commit suicide aren't so much looking to die as they are crying out for help and/or attention and many deaths have been averted by simply having someone talk to them personally; there are a myriad of situations that can lead to someone considering suicide but it's interesting how a lot of them can be averted by a simple action. A while back I also saw a news article about a guy who is retired and lives near a cliff which is an infamous spot to commit suicide and has decided to spend the rest of his days trying to console people he can get to before they take the dive, and he's actually managed to save quite a few. Many people consider him an angel, which is ironic since he is a Christian; never really cared for the faith myself but I admire him for his sense of compassion, I mean along with such "empathetic" people like With_Blood_Skys of course. | 2010-09-04 17:30:00 Author: Dapiek Absaroka  Posts: 512 |
