I hope they aren't, but if anyone reading this is contemplating suicide, please remember that well over 90% of people who intend to kill themselves but are stopped, or fail, never decide to try again. Suicide is a fleeting impulse to a solvable problem.

If you won't listen to me, here's an excerpt from an article I read about people who survived a jump from the Golden Gate Bridge that has haunted me ever since:

"Survivors often regret their decision in midair...On the bridge, Baldwin counted to ten and stayed frozen. He counted to ten again, then vaulted over...Baldwin recalls, “I instantly realized that everything in my life that I’d thought was unfixable was totally fixable—except for having just jumped.”

Survivors often regret their decision in midair. I don't see why we should think people who didn't survive were any different.
