[VINMAN]

In my many years of firefighting, I've come across some fairly grusome endings to peoples lives. One way I know I definately dont want to die is by burning to death. But yeah I guess at times ive wondered what it would be like to go a certain way after witnessing the aftermath of an incident. Such as driving into a tree at 90mph. Or driving into a lake. Or head on into a tractor trailer.
I have to admit that Ive had the same thoughts as Supe at times. But not in a suicidal way. Just the fact that it would be so easy to do. What would it be like to actually just say fuch it and take the step off.
I seen people jump during the WTC attack. Thats a loooong time to think about things on the way down. Sure , those people were pretty much forced to do it. But to just step off a ledge or any other high spot, I guess would take a certain rush of adrenelin to do. ( I've skydived, but thats different).

Like I posted in the other thread. My stepdaughter comes across some inventive suicides as an investigator with the medical examiner. Some are real easy painless, others are extremely painful and messy. Most are your standard hangings, self inflicted gunshots,etc, etc... ALOT of jumpers. But I still cant understand what would drive someone to that extreme. especially the younger ones. I could I guess, but I just cant imagine those last few seconds before the actual act.

I could never, I'm a wuss...
