I remember watching a documentary some time ago about this falling man. There were a few families that sort of claimed this man (brother, father, etc) and one of those families was so offended this could be their family member because they were extremely catholic and in that religion, suicide means hell. It was so obnoxious to me, this man suffered a once in a lifetime agonizing experience and death, and these people were on tape judging him and claiming he couldn’t be their family member, because they loved God so he (jumping man) would never dare commit that ultimate sin. It made me want to slap them across the face, how little love/understand they show. How dare you judge a man that had no good options left!

Can you imagine how long it took to fall? So much time to be aware that you're going to die. A death by torture. But his other option was die in a fire. I have no idea what I would choose.
Basically everybody with that choice jumps.
Fuck getting burned, I'd jump too.
I'm not sure of the site schematics, but wouldn't you die of smoke inhalation on most fires? If so, you'd be dead long before the flames touch you. There's some discomfort for sure, but it's worth considering over a long plummet to your death.
Just a regular day going to work, not realising that soon you'll need to choose how you die. Absolutely horrible.
Beats choking on smoke
