Woman Attempts Suicide At Comic Con

A rigging crew rushed to the rescue of a woman who attempted to commit suicide at this year’s San Diego Comic Con event.


The suicide attempt was thought to be a stunt at first, but when con goers realized this was someone about to take their life they began to scream ‘Don’t do it!’.


The woman stepped over the railing on the 14th floor balcony of her hotel, distraught over a recent break up and intoxicated. On the floor below hers, a man kept talking to her, in attempt to stop her from jumping. Amos Carver, one of the stuntmen, recalled: “She just kept saying, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,’ over and over again.’”

She was grabbed from behind and pulled off the ledge.

Thoughts?

[Aiden]

Why do people even do this? and so public too?

I get how people can get to being like this, but really? At a public event?

I would feel sorry for her but I don't...

Imagine how all them people would of been feeling...

[MKR&*42]

I don't think anyone should really openly judge anyone who tries to commit suicide based on location. Some people have jumped in front of trains, off bridges etc. which are incredibly public places, and I know no-one wants to go out and see someone commit suicide on a daily basis - but some people just feel at total loss of their life wherever they are and I don't think it's selfish to do it cause you have to imagine what the woman was going through and gtwrgdfsehgdfxsx

basically im glad someone saved her tbh

That could scar people for life... I don't care how depressed someone is, I don't agree with suicide in any form. :)

If a person attempts it, I think people should try hard to stop them from doing it. But ultimately it is their decision and it is their life, if they want to end it they have absolutely every right to ignore advice given from others and do so.

Yet again, I am quite sure a person committing suicide is not thinking of others but all of the pain they have experienced in life. I understand it might scar people, but at least then they might realise how bad problems can actually get for people and that suicide threats shouldnt be taken as a joke.

People die each day who love life... and others throw their life's away? mhmmmmmm no.

You can say I'm being harsh but suicide is pathetic.

It is a person's individual decision, no-one should ever be forced to live a life they hate. If I well and truly hated every single part of my life and couldn't see a good future, I would go out and attempt suicide. I don't support people being forced to live a life they don't want (hence why I am very against every strong Roman Catholic who claims it is a sin).

I DON'T SEE HOW IT IS PATHETIC IF A PERSON IS SO FED UP OF THEIR LIFE AND SEES NO WAY OUT.

Because I believe that things can and will get better if someone really wants to.

[MKR&*42]

What about if the person has a mental illness or a physical disability that restricts them to so little movement and requires them being reliant upon other people solely? What about someone who has an aggressive terminal illness that is only going to ruin their quality of life further.

Yes I understand where people come from by saying that things can get better, but for some people due to internal reasons they are literally incapable of seeing that and you shouldn't judge for that. You can escape many fears and threats but you can never escape what the mind tells you.

I believe the exact opposite. If someone wants to kill their selves, just do it. Obviously it's incredibly selfish and absolutely terrible for friends and family. My pet hate in life is people cutting, if you actually want to kill yourself, it's near enough impossible to fail at it - so do it properly instead of seeking attention when you fail.

O.T: it is terrible. However still believe it shouldn't be done in public in front of others who certainly don't want to see it. Do it at home where nobody can see and do it properly..

I see the point people make when they say this, but sometimes someone could just be going through a rough patch which would end and if you could stop them I think you should at least try :P

Self-harm different matter, but I believe the only ones who are really serious about killing themselves ("cutters") via cutting are the ones who do it 'the correct way' (not the way that is shown on tumblr a gazillion times a day by doing it across the wrist).

I don't think you understand that some people have different tolerance levels to others. If every human had the same tolerance levels then absolutely no suicide would take place at all.

jfc not everyone is the same and deals with stuff exactly the same thats the AMAZING THING ABOUT EVERYONE BEING DIFFERENT.

If you kill yourself, I think it's wrong and have wasted life.

Difference between hard time and LIFE of misery.

It's pure madness that you think suicide is an opinion. People should get help and be supported. Plus it will just hurt other people. I'm one of them people who thinks 2 is more then 1. If 1 person not killing themselves keeps 2 others happy, then thats how it should be.

do it properly? you're ******* sick and quite frankly, incredibly dumb. for starters, self harm is very rarely to do with suicide, a lot of it is about self control and release but one who isn't in that frame of mind won't understand it. secondly, even if self harm was being done for attention and seeking help, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and they should be given the attention and help they need, not be told to do it properly? can't believe someone could be so ******* stupid. thirdly, why the hell is that your pet hate? you seriously get annoyed with something that doesn't affect you? annoyed that someone wants to hurt themselves? or annoyed someone's getting more attention than you?

Hayden i think we should give up and possibly even side with these ignorant people, like they say ignorance is bliss. i agree w/ you, no matter the reasoning for attempted suicide, they should be stopped and helped, not told to do it properly... :S she was heartbroken (which can lead to feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, helplessness) and intoxicated so at high risk of impulsiveness which may be why she didnt give a **** who was watching and not thinking straight, wanting it to end there. & the people who saved her are true heros who deserve every bit of respect, compared to those who tell her to do it properly and hopefully she recovers.

Do you mean option?

I have said earlier yes, help should be attempted, but no-one should ever be forced to live their life if they have decided they have had enough of it. Periods such as depression after a divorce, or a miscarriage - yes easily overcome. People who have mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, type 1 bipolar and so on not so much.

Caring about own life because of disappointments, fears, bad memories etc = AUTO SELFISH YOU CANNOT CARE ABOUT YOURSELF OR YOUR FEELINGS WTF U MUST LIVE UR LIFE HOW PEOPLE TELL U DIDNT U KNOW THAT??!?!?

How about how you don't go to school because school is "too hard at the moment". Special treatment or what?

This is horrible and I'm totally glad she was pulled back. I suppose attempting to commit suicide is very different when you're drunk and (not that she would have lived to have known it) she probably would have regretted it when she sobered up.

You are one of very few people on this forum who actually know what they are talking about in regards to suicide (with FlyingJesus; being another off the top of my head), I haven't said at any point that people shouldn't attempt to be helped/stopped in this thread it was one of the first things I said and it appears to be outright ignored.

I don't see how people can't understand persuasion of others only goes so far, it can help a great deal but it is down to personal choice and if someone commits suicide you don't turn around and go "how pathetic" cause that is sick and wrong on every moral ground.

I didn't get any special treatment lol
I left that school with no special treatment
and went to my new one with none

I don't really think this is too worthy of news, I mean hopefully I'm not coming across as a bad person here but something this ridiculous as potentially committing suicide because your boyfriend broke up with you is a tad preposterous. I'm a bit of a skeptic as in I don't really think that she would have really gone through with it, that being said, people have killed themselves for a lot less.

This could have been unbearable for this woman. None of us have any right to say she was stupid for doing this because we simply don't know what she was thinking, how she was feeling, what the rest of her life is and many other factors that come into this.

Can't see how that is at all sick, or even shows i'm dumb..
How is self harm anything not to do with suicide, I couldn't get my head around anything else. And regarding your question how it doesn't affect me, it does. I do not appreciate seeing people with slices in their body and loads of blood where ever I go on the Internet. Why would you even want to post that **** all over the internet anyways?
One of the more 'famous' cutters/attention seekers (Emily Cann) went to the same high school as me and I see her about everywhere. The way she struts around acting as if she is something special with all the cuts on her arms/legs is disgusting - nobody wants to see that. In school she literally used to bully everyone, now she gets sympathy off the thousands of followers for everything she does and how people now bully her. That just really angers me.

Oh and if you do it because your intoxicated, you should seriously never think about drinking again.

i think it's a disgusting attitude because why would u rather someone kill themselves rather than get help? so if your partner or one of your sisters say is self harming (which you never know it could happen, as it's often hidden and nothing like that Emily cann person), can you honestly say you'd tell them to go do it properly? seeing how its such a pet hate of yours. just saying you should be really, really careful about this opinion you hold and who you say it in front of because you never know who has gone or is going through it.
also im sick of explaining self harm. self harm comes in many forms, some people drink alcohol to get away from stress and troubles, some take drugs and some cut themselves. it's a form of hurting yourself in order to numb yourself and forget emotional & psychological pain. it is not always to do with suicide and its not always as noticeable as you think.

[Inseriousity.]

I'm just glad they were all chanting don't do it cos you hear some terrible stories bout people goading them into doing it. Hope she gets the support she needs :)

[FlyingJesus]

Glad to see that not everyone here is totally unappreciative of the value of life vs "suck it up" mentalities. Then again in a way I'm glad that some people are so far removed from tragedy that they can't see this could ever be a viable option for someone since I suppose it means that their life is entirely manageable, which is really the optimum level of being for everyone. I don't condone suicide obviously, and especially not at public functions, but I also don't condemn anyone who feels so hopeless and desperate that they feel the need to make these decisions and act upon them - I wish them all the best and am very much glad that they were saved in time from an action that they could never take back.

I understand totally what some people are saying in regards to not liking the idea of self harm and suicide, I just believe that these are totally uneducated views which bear no actual relevance to reality and show nothing but base contempt. By all means, call self-harmers and failed suicide attempts "attention seekers", but if you're so heartless as to deny them the emotional capacity of getting to such a desperate state then frankly you have no place in this discussion. An uniformed view is not necessary to any discussion other than as a chance to educate the perpetrator.

I never said she was stupid for doing it but from what I heard is she didn't really have much intention to jump. I'm just arguing the incentive that would drive someone so far as the brink of complete and final result which is death. And not that I'm trying to start anything, but as members of the free world we have the right to express our opinions. Everyone has the right to say whatever they wish. It may not be valid, it may not be correct and it may be completely absurd, but that's just the world we live in. Sorry if my post came across as judgemental it wasn't my intention.

comic con

doubt all the superhero nerds would goad her on. What kind of hardcore fan dresses up like an idiot (their fav superhero or whatever) and then comepletely defeats their superhero role by chanting for someone to jump

I bet alot of them were on their way up the stairs to rescue her themselves

Although I heard hannah minx was at comic con so most people were probably either busy staring at her huge bazookas or using her human sized airbags in hope to catch the woman if she did jump

[Catchy]

Some of the comments on this thread are disgusting, ignorant and like FlyingJesus; said, uneducated. I believe you need to walk a mile in these peoples shoes before you're quick to judge, mental health is complex and hard for people to comprehend with. It's not just a matter of just saying "well dey need help!!!" because usually that doesn't even treat the actual cause of the underlying issue. Of course these people need help but I think what doesn't help is going back into a society with such negative views and opinions which we've all witnessed in this thread.

Honestly some of the comments lol my little sister wouldn't even come up with such ****.

[karter]

If others with the same problems can deal with it, so can the rest of us.

Well it's a good thing to see another educated suicide and mental health debate on the forum. Props to everyone.

[Cerys]

I think the fact that she was intoxicated makes me like, 1% feeling less sorry for her, but still!
I'm glad they got her down safely

[efq]

Glad someone saved her.

I deal with lots of depressed and suicidal people. I go out with paramedics sometimes and they respond to people threatening to jump off overpasses. I remember the last time the paramedic saying to the guy:

"Mate, you can't sit and threaten to jump off an overpass and expect nothing to be done about it. Can you foresee the impact if you landed in front of someones car? Because if you killed one of my family members from landing on their car from jumping I'd be pretty *REMOVED* off with you. Now you're going to be restrained to the bed in the ambulance and that's that. I'm not having you jump out the back of my ambulance and cause me to crash."

Mental health isn't nice, they can't help it and it can be seen as a selfish act. But suicide takes a lot and a lot to go through with. Somebody deliberately trying to be selfish wouldn't go through with suicide, the bodies natural defences in stopping harm kicks in. Even to the point of gagging so you can't swallow pills etc. For someone to go through with suicide means they need to really not be in control of their mental state and really be bad. And that is really sad and upsetting.

But people like the paramedics and most services don't sympathise up front. They can't make them feel like it's ok. They've got to be firm. When I heard the paramedic swear at the guy I realised it wasn't that outrageous. Suicide is bad enough of course but suicide where you are endangering others typically is a sign of a cry for help and doesn't always follow through. People who hang do so to end their lives and not endanger others. People who you here about on edge of buildings, bridges, overpasses etc always seem to be talked out of it but usually wouldn't of gone through with it (thank god).

But mental illnesses are so far from understood that it isn't really fair to judge anybody no matter how big or small their issue. We only understand a tiny fraction of the mind and brain.

Anyway, the paramedic that night manage to end it on a good note by saying to the patient "Oi mate, can you stop kicking me? I have a models face." which made the patient, me and the Police laugh.

Attention seeking/cry for help attempts or real suicide are all just as bad and let us know that person is severely unwell.

So as soon as someone disagrees with the discussion, it's being rude, disgusting, uneducated and dumb. Seriously can nobody have any free speech on this forum anymore?
Maybe I was a bit blunt saying if you want to do it, just do it. But my opinion stays pretty much the same. Obviously if it's a fad your going through then I hope to god they can get help for it. My best mate when he was about 10 found a guy hanging in a public park. He cut the rope and managed to phone the police and rung an ambulance. He pretty much saved the guy and the guy lived until he tried again and actually succeeded a few months later. My mate had to have counselling for months as he was seeing the guy hanging everywhere he was going. Obviously this guy was intent on doing it as apparently he has attempted many times before this anyway. So why didn't he do it in the house where nobody can be affected by it and make sure he done it properly the first time. Imagine what the people who found him each time went through.

It's how your comments and other comments came across. Of course everybody is entitled to their own opinion but by reading some of the comments they just seem ignorant. I understand your point about "why can't they do it at home?" but you have to understand, do you think these manic depressant people are actually thinking logically? Do you think they actually care anymore? No because they can't and it's not their fault, it's mental illness. As you've never experienced it I don't think you have the right to come out with "why not do it at home?" do you actually think they're in a sane frame of mind? :S

[FlyingJesus]

Yawn people bringing out the IT'S MY OPINION card when they get told off, further made hilarious by claiming that free speech means no-one can criticise them - think that one through for a while will you

I've never experienced mental illness or even know anyone who has experienced mental illness so I probably don't really understand anything about the illness. Oh and I can assure you my posts aren't intended to come across as arrogant, but my apologies if they do :P
Even if these people aren't in the right mind, don't you think it would be respectable to do it where nobody can see and make sure it's done peacefully.

A guy I knew well through school went to Afghanistan with the army. One of his missions was to storm a family home where they suspected Taliban where living. He was the first one to enter and ended up killing an entire family with 4 kids, confirmed later to not be Taliban and actually an innocent family. Finished his tour and a week later hung himself in his base. He was certainly not in the right mind set but still had the decency to do it out of everyone's view. He easily could have gone to the nearest city center and jumped off the tallest building, but he didn't.

Anyways, I think even though someone is in the mind of killing their selves they still have an acknowledgement of what they are doing and where they are doing it. You can make sure you do it where nobody can see and know you've only effected your family, but not the possibility of hundreds of others when doing it in public. Imagine how many people get effected by seeing someone jump of a building and come crashing to the ground - I know I would certainly be effected by it.

this thread is a damn mess

skandair u have rly outdone urself in this 1

[Shockwave.2CC]

Wow some people need to know that only because you argue/break up with someone, doesn't mean you have to commit suicide

[Yawn]

:stop:

......pls

[buttons]

or even know anyone who has experienced mental illness so I probably don't really understand anything about the illness. Oh and I can assure you my posts aren't intended to come across as arrogant, but my apologies if they do :P
u don't know if anyone close to you is suffering or has suffered from mental illness though, there isn't always outward signs. by saying "suicidal people should just do it properly" isn't going to make anyone confide in you, & this is how u get "but they seemed so happy!!111"

oh n Shockwave.2CC; if someone can save me from suicide they sure as hell can drive me to it. if its the only person you could trust, felt that accepted you etc then it's obv gonna bring down your self-esteem and make u feel a bit lonely...

[karter]

What makes me sad is that if these people ever have children and they come up to them seeking their advice, the best words out of their mouths would be "suck it up" "just be happy" and "others are suffering a lot more than you". I also do not understand why people feel the need to judge people who commit suicide, and also claiming them as attention seeking and pretentious is bit pathetic

Sure you have your opinion but if it is a bad one, expect it to be challenged.

This is an incredibly fair point^. My parents take this attitude and it's most certainly not a nice one and doesn't solve any issue at all - it's disgraceful it still exists in what... 2013 now.

Most of the controversial opinions are simply uninformed ones usually, because people don't ever have the decency to consider the fact every human is differentr2wfs.
