Curious about people's thoughts on suicide by high speed motorcycle crash? Have you ever considered it? If it was accessible, would you do it?

Whenever I feel suicidal my gut instinct has been to crash my car into a wall or jump from a bridge. Ultimately I decided it was safer and less violent to CTB by nitrogen exit bag instead, but the adrenaline junkie in my heart still contemplates methods of high speed CTB.

The problem with CTB by car crash is the amount of safety systems on modern vehicles. I've had cars capable of 140 mph (225 km/h) which is certainly fast enough to cause massive damage to the vehicle no matter what you hit, but with crumple zones and air bags it's impossible to predict how the driver would fare. You'd definitely get injured, but death is much less certain.

Motorcycles, on the other hand, leave the driver directly exposed in the event of an accident. It's a lot more like falling onto a hard surface. Motorcycles can easily reach 120 mph (200 km/h) which is the terminal velocity of a falling person, and a person would would need to jump from about 1,500 feet (450 meters) to reach terminal velocity. That's about the height of the 125th floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa. It's a pretty safe bet that a fall from that height will be fatal no matter now a person lands.

Helmets are required in many locations, but you can easily remove the helmet before the final acceleration.

The tricky part is finding a suitable location. You need a very strong solid object to crash into, there needs to be enough distance in front to accelerate to high speeds, and it shouldn't put other people at risk.

I've looked extensively for crash targets in my area, and in general anywhere vehicles drive is protected by various forms of guard rails and barriers designed to deflect vehicles from crashing directly into solid objects. It might be easier to find spots outside the city, or in an industrial zone.

Sounds like it could be very painful and a lot could go wrong. I'll be sticking with SN but that's just me

I don't think there has more than 3% of killing you, you are likely to end up disabled with permanent damage at worst, the human body is ridiculously durable, stuff like car accidents are unlikely to kill you realistically

the odds of surviving a motorcycle crash is 90-95 percent. you are just likely to suffer immense pain. wouldnt consider it.

Go on any gore site and look at images of horrific motorcycle accident survivors. That should make your decision pretty easy.

As someone who works in emergency medical services and has seen people get fucked up from motorcycle accidents... No. Just no.

Agree. I would put this far down on the list of methods. I did see a MC crash at high speed on a neighborhood street 10 years ago and it was gruesome. That steered me clear of ever considering this type of thing. (And I used to ride and love motorcycles but not for years).

this 3% stat is not about people deliberately trying to kill themselves on a bike.
The drivers there had protective gear and probably did not plan to crash into a wall full speed
