Thread: Frenchman in dramatic suicide in Phuket (Video clip)

C'est la morte.

i don't think i need to watch a guy kill himself.

although, as a way to go, it is one of my options. just have to make sure it's high enough. would hate just to break a couple of legs.

pills, too unpredictable,

cutting, eww no.

You could always go out with a bang...

Probably had his savings in Sterling...

R I P to the guy..sad news

6 seconds for 16 floors ...not bad

Anyway, it's loud.

Yeah odd sounds. Will haunt me tonight.

About 3 seconds from leap to crash. That's 45 m by my calculation.

0.5 x 9.08 x 9 = 40.86 metres

poor family.

Do you really think that Willy?

It amazes me how people think these things, when the poor buggers thought processes are probably 100 miles away from rational thinking.

eh ?

I am sympathising with the family left behind, because there is nearly always someone. Silly bugger as in he didn't need to do that, but recognising that it's always way more complicated than that when someone is stuck in a spiral of depression.

I recall reading sometime that we should not classify a death like this as suicide, but rather say depression killed him.

If he was blindfolded ...maybe he was sleepwalking

Just testing. I am a feet per second per second person and want nothing to do with these smelly horrid European measures.

g is 9.8, not 9.08. And I rounded to 10.

Then you should have used 32.

And it is acceleration, not speed.

It's not going really fast that kills you, but stopping really quickly.

Still, the video might stop CSI:TD coming up with an elaborate conspiracy by the police to bump him off and nick his stripey shirt, beret and strings of garlic.

Yes, and my answer would have been in feet, a sound, sensible and decent British measure.

^ Right..12 inches to the foot, 3 foot to the yard, 1760 yards to the mile....all makes sense.
Lets not even go to pints, gallons et al.

These measurements are our measurements. They are not bloody foreign measurements. I have declared war on Europe and will only buy British from now on.

Don't we have a calculation thread for this stuff?...

BB you're are banned from this thread get back over to the other Frenchman ,
