roo860 Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Caught this on Channel 34 this morning, the monk was asking him if he was hungry. A Thai woman was trying to reason with him in English and talk him down. 20240420_070402.mp4 20240420_070622.mp4 1
Hummin Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 An old diver or base jumper going in with style. May he find peace 2
rexpotter Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Good flight profile with good gliding distance. Oh his way to heaven, didn't find it here.
0ffshore360 Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Very disturbed person ! If not deceased will be suffering a long while.

With a bit more practice, he might have won Olympic Gold in the very-high diving event. Sad, because he seems to have been in quite good physical shape... (before his dive, of course.) Too much stress at the moment. I would guess that a helping hand, at the right moment, might have averted this calamity.

You watch too many movies if you were thinking he had a chance of surviving this lol. Just FYI like 500,000 people yearly die of slipping and falling with a height of 0 meters, a heavily underrated threat and death. If you jump from around 30 meter height, you would be going down with 80km per hour, it is unlikely to survive. Jumps lower than 30 meter can result in failed attempts, IMO people want it to fail if they jump from 10-20 meters. For more info join our walk in Saturdays at the Pattaya Flying Club. 1

No need to kill yourself making a carnage. There is better ways if thats anyones final decision. 1 1

Suicide is never good unless you tell people upfront, so they can avoid the issue for strangers, and you then do it clean with like some pills. That's why they should provide these services legally and safe in like hospitals. 1 1

Given that the item posted above does not state this man achieved death and that I am not inclined to ghoulishly seek out further details and despite your apparent authority on suicidal heights it states a 20 meter jump so I will excuse my ignorance .
KhunLA Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Nice Swan ... did he bounce ... oh yea ... R I P 1
brianthainess Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 He was Polish, according to the BP. Probably thought what are these people shouting about. Then took the Swan Dive. RIP

When competing in the HIGH-dive event, concentration is key. c. If one were to lose one's concentration, this could cause a bad landing, and then result in serious injury. 1

Any kind of ingested substance, such as barbiturates, or bleach, etc., is a very bad idea. There is just not enough USER CONTROL possible. People often fail to consider the ramifications of rash actions. The moral to the story is: Look before you leap! 1
save the frogs Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 They should leave suicide notes so we can figure out how we failed him as a society and learn from our mistakes. 1

While there may be occasions where that is true, most suicide attempts follow a specific trigger, after a long-term build up of stress. The triger is instant and the person wants to do the job as quickly as possible, possibly for fear of changing their mind and prolonging their suffering. They are not in a right state of mind to be scientifically assessing the height of the window or balcony to ensure it's going to do the job properly for them.
