Suicide by jumping from height is a common method used by many wanting to kill themselves. According to Wikipedia, some structures such as the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Eiffel Tower and Niagara Falls are notorious spots.
It is also noted that suicide by jumping from heights does not guarantee an instant death and in many cases, leave the surviving victim with a lifetime injury and pains.
Suicide is never an option and most localities have hotlines and help centers you can reach to and get quick help incase of any suicidal feeling.
