So some of the conversations went to travel and talking about other countries. A weird thought entered my head, as it often does. What if there’s a Suicide Tour? A tour around the world of the most popular suicide destinations? Just morbid enough for the SP user! C’mon, who wants to join me?
Here’s one list:

I would love to join you on a suicide tour, but I have no money >.<
that’s ok. you just need a one way ticket…
That’s true.
So which location was your favorite from the link you shared?
Well I still haven’t given away my tax refund so my options can lean to this. Suicide tour I’m guessing final destination no coming back. If that’s correct the way I understood it than I’m down just what destination is best to go I wonder
I was looking online at all the bridges people jump off of. There’s Niagara Falls, of course.
Very macabre.
Wow, didn’t know about that one. Will have to look it up myself.
I did study Golden Gate jumps in forensic detail. 250 ft fall, 4 seconds, 75-80 mph, massive internal hemmorhaging due to the inertia of the internal organs (keep falling internally even after impact) striking the broken bones and getting ruptured. The unlucky ones who survive get pulled 50 feet below and ultimately drown out of sheer weakness and pain.
The REALLY unlucky ones suffer all that, get fished out by the Coast guard and end up in a psych ward.
The question is, why did those individuals fail? Did they not jump from the middle of the bridge? Did they not go out far enough? If one went only 1/4 of the way, then jumped…it wouldn’t be high enough… And did they land on their bellies/back instead of head or feet first?
darkness, your last theory is what is generally accepted to be the major factor in survival of Golden Gate jumps – the orientation of a person when he/she hits the water.
Kevin Hines was in a sitting position and survived. Feet first seems to be survivable because the legs/pelvis take the brunt of the impact.
Head/chest first means you’re a goner.
Ever seen that video of the woman who jumps in the water and goes over the side of Niagara Falls?
Nope, but you can betchyouh ass I will !
What do you mean by jumps in the water and goes over the side ? I’m having a hard time picturing that.
Link, please !

Danke !
I’m surprised youtube hasn’t pulled it off the site. gruesome, yet oddly can’t look away…
This sounds like a very interesting tour. Do we have to wear Hawaiian shirts and socks with sandals, talk loudly, and always have a camera around our neck?
hey, it’s your suicide tour. wear whatever you want. wear coconuts for a bra. be an interesting topic if they found your body that way. 😛
and…who wears socks with sandals???
