waltappel 1 #1 September 13, 2006 No, I'm not considering killing myself, but years ago when I lived in a small town and was bored out of my mind, I'd spend my time getting drunk and thinking of great ways to kill myself. My best idea was to get a couple of lengths of chain and some padlocks and go to a highway overpass. I would put one end of the chains around each ankle and the other ends around the railings. The length of the chains would have had me hanging at just the right height to get hit by a truck if I jumped over the railing and was hanging. Got any good creative ideas? BTW, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't take this thread seriously!!!!! Our community has had way more than enough death this year!!! Walt p.s. Funks, I just *know* you have come up with some great ideas! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wikid14141 0 #6 September 13, 2006 This is kinda off subject.. not an idea, cause it's been done and this question reminded me of this incident. When I was working security at the hospital about 2 years ago. A doctor flew his plane down to texas (i think) to pick up his son that was having problems. He was flying him back to kansas and was about 15 miles or so from the airport and his son jumped out. I think the report was they were around 2-3000ft. Of all the ways to kill yourself I had never heard of that before. To this day I cant believe someone could do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A guy hired an instructor & Cessna, climbed to 9000 feet, and then jumped out (sans rig) while the instructor had the controls. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

To this day I cant believe someone could do that. *** Happen in El Cajon, Ca. about 4 years ago... Some guy took a 'fun' flight in an open cockpit bi-wing and hopped out a bit before the ride was through. Came through the trees at a friend of mine's apartment complex not far from the airport. EL CAJON, California (AP) -- An elderly man recently diagnosed with a brain tumor leaped to his death from a vintage airplane he rented to celebrate his 88th birthday, officials said Tuesday. Joseph Harold Frost took off his safety belt at 300 to 400 feet, stood up in the open Cockpit of the two-seat biplane and went over the side Monday. The pilot tried but failed to wrestle him back into the plane and nose the aircraft upward to force Frost back into his seat. "I think that was Dad's idea, to go out in a flash of glory," said Robert Frost, who had helped his father arrange the chartered flight on a biplane similar to the ones the elder Frost flew in World War II. The man landed on an apartment patio, horrifying those who witnessed it. "I saw him hit the power lines, heard trees breaking. I really thought it wasn't real," Cynthia Lankford said. That's crazy but I guess in his circumstances thats the way he wanted to go out... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
