think you'll jump?
read this excerpt from
sfgate.com:
Suicide by bridge is
gruesome, and death is almost certain. People have survived the fall, but
not many. You might survive if you hit the water feet first and come in at
a slight angle.
The impact is tremendous. The body goes from
roughly 75 to 80 mph to nearly zero in a nanosecond. The physics of
inertia being what they are, internal organs tend to keep going. The force
of impact causes them to tear loose. Autopsy reports typically indicate
that the jumpers have lacerated aortas, livers, spleens and hearts. Ribs
are often broken, and the impact shoves them into the heart or lungs.
Jumpers have broken sternums, clavicles, pelvises and necks. Skull
fractures are common.
Which means you die one of two ways, or a
combination of both.
One, you hit the water and the impact kills you.
Sometimes the jumper is knocked unconscious. Other times, the jumper
survives for a time. The person can be seen flailing about in the water,
trying to stay afloat, only to succumb to the extensive internal bleeding.
Death can take seconds or minutes.
Two, you drown. You hit the water going
fast, and your body plunges in deep. Conscious or otherwise, you breathe
in water and asphyxiate. You can usually tell which bridge jumpers
drowned. Frothy mucus bubbles from the nose.
"Some people seem to
think that jumping off the bridge is a light, airy way to end your life,
like going to join the angels," said Marin County Coroner Ken Holmes. "I'd
like to dispel that myth. When you jump off the bridge, you hit the water
hard. It's not a pretty death."
"Multiple blunt-force trauma." In other words, you die the same way as
someone hit by a car. |

06.10.10, blustar7, Largo, FL., i wanted to respond regarding the article f/fox
or tbtimes, i forget, but it said to call the crisis hotline someone is always
there to help. i want to say something from personal experience. this was
several years ago and i had been severely depressed and having suicidal
thoughts. one day i just had it with my life but i decided to call the suicide
prevention hotline to get some help b/c i didn't like the thoughts in my head.
the phone rang forever, meanwhile i'm crying hysterically, then someone answers
and says "can you please hold?" and puts me on hold. OK SERIOUSLY? I was f***n
furious!! i waited about a minute and then hung up. what kind of suicide
prevention was that? it only made me more hysterical. i just wanted to get this
out there b/c what if the same incident happened to others who did commit
suicide but who could have potentially been saved? ugh...sorry the memory of
that call makes me furious. (while we include our
satirical 'please hold' sound bite as a joke, it's no joke when the real deal is
happening to those that need it least. we're sure yours is not the first nor the
last 'please hold' experience people have from some help lines.)
06.13.10, justme, st. pete., Okay, so I'm almost as sick as you are. But I think
that you went a bit to far on the your link for those contemplating suicide. You
should take that out totally. Though you don't care, you'd be surprised at the
people that probably clicked that link looking for real help. They may not
appeciate the tune like me, instead they may flip to another personality and
come throw your ass over the bridge or something like that. Seriously dude! Take
that part out. It's not even (not even what?) |
