I'm considering jumping from a 100m tall bridge and I can either jump onto grass or into water. Maybe this is a stupid question but what do you think is more reliable? I know that it's definitely high enough to be deadly but I want to make it as reliable as possible.

With 100m (328 feet), I think either should be sufficient. The thing is if you jump into the water and fall unconscious, you may have the additional insurance of drowning, so even if you didn't die from the fall you'd still die from drowning. It is better to go for grass, but water is also sufficient at this height. All that remains is mustering the courage to override the survival instinct.

I also would choose to jump on grass, I think it is more reliable than jumping on water.

Thanks for the input. I guess my fear with jumping into water is that I might not lose consciousness immediately and drown while fully conscious, that would be horrible. The question is just how likely that is. But if grass is more reliable I will go for grass. And yes, overcoming the survival instinct is probably the most difficult part. If it weren't for the SI I would have hanged myself back in November.
