Good morning to you all.

While my train was 1.5 hours late this morning I was thinking that my life is full of drama. Then as I am walking into to work I see this guy jump off a 20 story building (the Horizon on North Terrace) and strait through the the glass plane at the cafe below.

I have only ever seen that shit on tele before. Today I saw it for real. Has anyone else ever witness such a depressing act. :confused:

were their people in the cafe...If there was and this person commited suicide, that is a low act. To do it in public is disgraceful but to involve others is worse.

Shit mate :(

Hope you are ok, you shouldn't have even gone into work after witnessing something as terrible as that.

There's people you can talk to if you need to mate ;)
 
Far out thats no good at all, wouldve been a bit surreal id say. As FC said, assuming they did kill themselves, its very ordinary that they do it where so many other people could be involved.

I should just clarrify that I saw him when he was about to jump. I went inside and once inside looked out the window and that's when it happened or just happended. The biggest impact is was just seeing the body there.

I was prepared for it and made the choice to look on the basis of this. Felt sick for about an hour and now am ok.

What makes me feel sick is not being able to understand that shit. I would love to see what in his life made him do this so I could help others. It is such a drastic thing to do.

Anyway thanks for your concerns. My feelings go out to the guys family and friends. So sad. :thumbsdown:
 
Glad youre alright now mate !!!

I like to think that I can help everybody with any problems they might have. The fact is though, I cant and that annoys me. No matter how good you are theres always somebody out there who either doesnt want help, or you dont know to help them.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of the guy and hopefully it reinforces the issue that Depression is a very very serious illness and that people should get help before it comes to this.

I didn't actually see the jump, but many years back before they secured the car park on the cnr of Pulteney and Rundle Street, one smashed on the road a few metres to my right as I was crossing Rundle Street.

Scared the shyte out of me and certainly did him no favours. Killed instantly and a fair mess.

I had been heading to get a burger for lunch, but needless to say I had lost my appetite very quickly. :(
 
I also saw it. He jumped off the Oaks Embassy on North Terrace, he didn't land near a cafe, the Cafe was about 30 metres away. It was so strange, glass everywhere, as he went through a roof. But very little blood

Sorry to describe but it was surreal.

So sad.
 
Yeh, I have two stories.

One guy jumped off the top level of Myer a few years back, landed right next to me in the food court.

Then a mate who was working in Hamilton Island last year, he said someone was dared to jump out of the 18th story and dive in the pool (very drunk).

Completely missed, but managed to land on the cafe below where there was some sort of soft landing. Walked away from the hospital a few weeks later.

I reckon he'd be dead had he actually made the pool.

I guess if you live in an apartment and you are feeling pretty low those thoughts might rush to your head. I don't think you can say they are selfish, especially if you don't know what they have gone through.
 
Unfortunately there are a higher number of suicides around the festive season. It must be a stuggle for depressed people when most around appear happy. Make sure you cheer up family/friends when they are down, as it is these small acts that people contemplating taking their own life have said that it has given themselves something to live for.

Absolutely. Knowing a couple of people who suffer from depression, its amazing how a small gesture of kindness towards them can completely change their outlook on life. Once you go down that path it is often small things that turn you one way or the other. If you know someone that way its not hard to take a few minutes out to have a chat, you never know how much good you can do.
 
damn, that sucks!

a few years ago on my way to uni, going express through Chidda station (Salisbury), you could see a guy running in the distance, he hurdled the fence and jumped in front of the train. that was pretty horrific!

Sorry to bump, but was that anything to do with the old rollercoaster they had in Dazzleland(??)?

One of my work colleagues told me the other day he was driving the rollercoaster when 2 people fell/jumped out
