How likely is it that I will die immediately if I...

[j.rez729]

...if I jump in front of a huge semi-truck on the highway? I'm 6'4" 220 lbs. so I'm afraid somehow I will live. A small person doesn't stand a chance but I'm afraid my bigass will survive it somehow and be in a wheelchair the rest of my life or some other bullshit. I live in a subdivision off the highway and I walk for exercise all over it as well as cross the highway to the other subdivision to walk, and always think about it as I'm waiting to cross and some semi comes barreling down the road. I'm afraid instead of cut to black it will be pain and misery and the hospital.

Too many variables. Too many things can go wrong.
And what about the driver & witnesses?
The poor driver would live the rest of their life with that visual in their minds eye. That's not right. They will live with the thought that they killed you.
I believe you have the right to do what you want to yourself but don't mess other people's lives up as well!

Thank you for your reply. I understand your perspective, but my perspective on it is that people are selfish and not nearly as affected by things as they claim. So while I think there are good people out there, I think that 90% of people are cold-blooded animals and so I don't believe the driver will be affected other than worrying about losing his job, which I doubt will happen because the cameras outside my neighborhood would capture the reality of the incident.

How do I know the guy who would hit me isn't pedophile? Or some other terrible narcistic fellow who tortures every1 in their path?

Why would I care if no one ever cared about me? What's the point?

Please do not make another person kill you. That is not fair to them.
There is a good chance you will live, injured but alive. Too many ways this will not kill you.
Look for other solo options.

Studies indicate that at speeds above 50 km/h, the risk of fatality increases dramatically, and at 70-80 km/h the probability is very high. At 100 km/h, the risk of fatality for a pedestrian is extremely high and often considered almost certain. Weight can influence the type of injuries suffered, it does not reduce the risk of fatality in the event of a collision with a vehicle at high speeds. Furthermore, at high speeds the possibility of avoiding an impact is minimal. If you need to read the statistics, just ask.

That makes me feel better. I just got back from a walk and saw a huge semi flying by and just knew that was my bus. Or rather, that specific type of semi is my bus. One day.

I agree with @maniac116 and @Worndown ... not fair to put that on someone else. Even if you think 90% of people are animals, you won't know if that one person is or not.

I agree. Besides, like the others are saying, how can you be sure it wouldn't just mangle your arms or legs or something, or even pass right over you if you land In the middle between the wheels?

If I jump right in front of it there's no way the wheels won't crush me. The question is will it be enough force to kill me, which is probable based on further stat research
