totally gobsmacked and horrified

[lynda66]

and still totally shocked ..... was walking through town before when i heard a scream, turned round and there was an almighty thud as someone hit the floor and broke, that's the only way i can describe it ....... snapped like a stick ...... life must have got too much and this person had jumped off the car park roof ........ and landed feet first, so there was bits of bone and blood everywhere ..... its about the height of 3 houses ...... and the person was still alive, and horribly conscious ... it seemed like a year till the ambulance arrived .... i think the screams will haunt me for a very long time ...... what drives someone to do such things ..... a life ruined, i don't know if the person will make it, there was massive blood loss, but if they do, i very much doubt they will walk again ..... i can't stop shaking ..... and can't get that moment of impact out of my head ...... it's not what i was expecting, i only went for cat food ......

[piskieinboots]

Oh.My.God. how truly horrid for you - and the jumper obviously ...did you remember the cat food

((hugs))

[lynda66]

thanks for the hugs xx

Lynda, how awful, What a horrible shock, have a stiff drink hun and lots of hugs from me too.xxx

[HeyWayne]

Holy chit! Not really much I can say to that - not that will comfort you anyway. Want a big 6ft7 armspan hug?

I saw a similar thing once when a dude calmly placed his head under the back wheel of a bus as it was pulling away. Not a pleasant sight.

Does make you wonder, and appreciate that things aren't that bad.

.... and appreciate that things aren't that bad.

tell that to Lynda's cat

Lynda, how awful, What a horrible shock, have a stiff drink hun and lots of hugs from me too.xxx

just had an extra 2 sugars in my tea ..... apparently that's good for shock ..... i guess i should have a bottle of something in for such occasions, its a bugger when you don't drink innit

i'm liking the hugs though, feeling a bit better now starting to calm down a little.

eeeeeeewwwwwwww yukkkk i think yours is worse, if you're gonna kill yourself this week can you make sure you do it properly and don't be so bloody selfish ...... i'd be good working for the samaritans me ....... stop talking about it, go and do it, but DONT leave a mess for other people to clear up ..... mmmmm you have very long arms

[lynda66]

tell that to Lynda's cat

don't think they will complain too much, they are having tuna for supper and sardines for brekkie..... actually i think they'd rather i never bought cat food again.

That's really horrid for you.

You hear of some very sad/unhappy people who are often just released or escape/walkout from psychiatric hospitals to do this very kind of thing. You can't imagine the kind of turmoil their minds must be in to contemplate. Likely that after surviving the fall he'll be in a worse state than before as I wonder if he may lose part/all of his legs? Can only hope his mental state improves.

In the meantime you must take care of yourself and if you feel any untoward effects from such a nasty exeprience do seek help from the docs and/or a counsellor. Hope you get over this soonest.

That must have been horrible, I feel sick & can't stop crying if I see a bird or an animal killed or injured, god knows what I'd be like if it was a person. The poor soul who jumped will probably be in a much worse state than before if they survive, hope they get the help they need if they do. Have a stiff drink Lynda & try not to dwell on it.

[Hashette]

Bliddy hell Lynda how awful for you, must have been a dreadful shock. Big hugs x

[lynda66]

I really don't think there was enough intact bone to save the legs there was a lot of bits on the floor...... but you have to be really desperate to jump off a building ....... i have no idea how you'd ever get over that

i'll be ok, (i think) but i won't be jumping off any buildings .... son will be home soon.
