Re: Video Shows Moment Woman Jump of Building
Apparently it's an awful way to go because no matter how committed you are when jumping, or even falling, when you know you're about to hit the ground instincts override everything and you die in mortal terror.

Re: Video Shows Moment Woman Jump of Building
Really sad watching that. You know what's going to happen but I couldn't help but want her to be rescued and given support  |

Re: Video Shows Moment Woman Jump of Building
the thing that is strange to me is the noise in the background, and then the lack of noise from the filmer when she jumped. Like, no sigh, moan, scream- nada.

How would you know this?, to make such a statement one would have to know someone who tried it and lived, but that would debunk your entire statement...  |

Re: Video Shows Moment Woman Jump of Building
From memory the quote is from a book on the neurological basis of fear. Most other methods of suicide are instant, or if you see it coming you are in some way incapacitated (hypoxia etc). Falling means you are fully cognisant and can see the moment of death approach with absolute clarity. At such a point, instincts override anything else through a complex cascade of autonomic responses, and your final thought is most likely an escape which is impossible. Hence terror.
