How would you try and prevent a suicide-jumper from leaping?

Swipe one of their legs.

If they want to die, they'll fight their natural instinct to find solid ground.

You know, this is a good idea.

I'm not your dad, but I am fucking your mom. Hah!

 

[Chemical Burgers]

Yell, "Do a filp!!" and hope they get the reference and want to come down and talk about it with me.

 

[Christopher Hitchens]

Offer to blow them if they get down?

 

[kdin]

If they truly wanted to end it all no one would have the time to stop them
But I would push them and if they grab onto something to prevent the fall then they're saved

 

[Brainfart]

I will let him/her suicide , fuck all people ! I hate humans especially women

That comment is really gay...Are you a homosexual?

 

[djdeeds]

Depends on the method they intend to use. I know that showing them some pictures from Goregrish of failed suicide attempts would definitely spoil their mood !

 

[igotyour40acres]

Talk them into jumping and hope @Bethy 🔥 gets the splat on video

The last thing he hears is that shrill bitch in his ears.

Here’s Rick James’ suicide-prevention method - to talk someone down from a ledge:

I’ll start by doing a traditional/cheezy “don’t jump, your life can change” talk, and then out of nowhere I, the negotiator, pull down my pants and starts masturbating, while looking the jumper dead in the eye. Without saying anything. The jumper is going to be like, “what the fuck man?”… and while the dude is watching me - i mean the Negatiator - wackin’ it, someone creeps up behind him and grabs him.

What would your guys’ strategies be to get a suicidal person in custody? Or techniques to talk them down.

Give them a good push so they don't have to jump. Then they can blame it on someone else because it's not actually suicide.

If this was an actual IRL situation and it was just a rando person? I'd like to think I'd intervene and say something comforting and try to talk them down. Ya, I realize given this site its all good to say you'd push them, taunt them, etc. but you'd look like quite the dick if someone films your antics and that makes the news. Likely face charges as well.

Now if the potential jumpee was someone I knew from work or elsewhere, I didn't like them and there was no audience then ya...I'd give them a bit of a shove or encourage them to take a literal dive.

Your concept has merit, but the subject in your example is a male. Let's say, the jumper is homosexual, they just might jump off the ledge onto to roof and lend you a hand in your endeavor.. then what? you may be forced to push them off the roof, totally counteracting your original plan.🙄

That would be awkward as fuck if the coworker you told to jump didn’t end up committing suicide, and both of you showed up to work the next day.

Meh, I spent about a decade in sales/business development so can bullshit my way through anything with no tells. If there were no witnesses and Zippy started telling tales at work I'd just give him/her a concerned look and with complete sincerity ask why they'd say such things. Would then suggest they be seen by a professional so they could work their way through their problems and get the care they need. I'd even offer to drive them to the hospital or therapist's office. On the way I'd give them a couple pops to the head and claim they were self-harming.

Jam a knife deep into their foot, pinning them in place...
