Comment on Harvard study predicts most suicide attempts a week in advanceparent

Comments

Surviving a fall from a bridge is not survivorship bias.

Improbable to be very significant, but it might actually be. The way/where they jumped off the bridge or how they hit the water may have influenced their chances of survival.

Edit: Implied is that how determined they were to commit suicide influenced their behavior before survival/death was fully out of their control.

Fair enough. I suppose it could change how one even enters the water.
