10 seconds to go...... what will you do?

"Hey, dude ! Not before me, please ! .. Ok, together .. let me come near you, we will jump together, at my mark, ok ?" Once I'm near him, push him back and ask for a 24 hours delay, first we have to enjoy a drink ... or "Can I marry your wife ? OK ? Well, come with me, write it down, else no one would belive me you agree .." or (if is a she) "As always, you, women, proved to be selfish and ilogical. Yu now think you do it, but why alone ? And more .. what if you survive and be crippled life time ? Come with me, I'll show you a safer way .."

i will tell him or her "wait! jesus loves you!

Can I just go near him and tackle him to the floor so he can't jump? Or maybe I can stay beside him, and tie his waist to mine ( using a rope I happen to be holding that time. hahaha).. and just tell him, well, if you jump then I'm coming with you. heheheh.

I will say "if you jump, i will jump after you coz i will miss you!!" . . . and if he/she still jumps then! . . . coz i probably would not follow.

I'll tell my friend to wait for me I'm going to jump with him. He will have a second thought why will I want to jump too. And from that I think we could start a conversation if he would ask why. With talking at least I can prolong the time with the person. And if my friend finally broke down emotionally I would grab him away from the jumping point. And put him to sleep with a knock out punch. I think he cannot jump anymore.

well, i really dont care if it was a guy and let him be, if this was a girl i would have a second thought to save her at all cost if she was pretty, prettier they are, more my response in saving the person.just kidding i would say to the person who is trying to jump 10 seconds " you are a loser in life and still afraid to go on,go ahead and die" nothing much. rest is upto the god to save him or leave him to die of his fate. i can say people are different by their character and it depend that what to say to him based upon their actions.

I will tell him why he is making a personal decision a public affair.Why is trying to make a big show in which no one is interested.Why can't he go home and shoot or hang himself. He may get infuriated and come after me forgetting to jump.

Well, I would let them know that I do care about them just as you have said, and hope somehow this will get them to think about what you just said long enough to consider not jumping. Then I would be Praying for God's will in this situation and hope somehow there is some way to stop them from wanting to do something like this to themselves as well.

Hi dear! Although, it is a hypothetical situation and I do hope that this kind of situation may not arise in my real life nor I would like such incident to happen in my real life. However, on hypothetical note, I would shout at the peak of my voice and would ask my friend (irrespective of his/her gender) not to leap like this and if s/he does not listen, I may add that I am also coming along with you and my sudden confession might stop him/her from doing so.

I do not know exactly what I might say in such circumstances. But on TV, I often see policeman persuading on the spot. They would agree to help resolve the issues, and remind them of their children, or mother. Something touching the heart might lead him to a second thought before doing the stupid thing.

I will tell him/her to come back as I have a secret to tell him/her. He/She must know about it, it is very important, a truth that is far more important beyond the jumping. I hope it works since people love to find our about secrets that involves them, the truth out there is very tempting...

This is an awful scene. for the last 10 seconds i will just say if you really want to die-- go ahead, but waiiiiiiiiiiitttttt please tell me how you want me to tell your family, friends and relatives why you did this.

Honestly, I'd probably start bawling my eyes out and telling them how much they mean to me. I would beg, beg, beg them not to go through with this and promising that whatever is happening in their lives that are making them choose to end their lives, I will do everything I can to help. I think it's important to let the ones we love know how much we care about them and not wait until something like this happens to really appreciate them.

Why do you even want to save him/her?If he/she feels their life isn't worth living and want to kill themselves, we don't need those kind of people in society.They need to know bad things happens and to deal with it.

I'd ask him to switch places with me. Or tell him that I will jump in after him. Even if he does not jump, I will.

Why say anything to them? I think the best possible idea would be to grab them, and pull them back inside the building, and hold them down on the floor. The longer you hold them down, the better chance that they won't be killing themselves right then. No single 10 second sentence could truly convince someone not to jump when it's really what they want. You gotta get them past that feeling they're having, to get them better.

I am not sure..but will ask him for his last wish...make him talk to me about the reason for doing so and distract from his intention and pull him back.. hopefully this should work...

I would say you know if you jump where your going right. And you won't be going to Heaven for doing it. So think twice before you jump.

Look here, you selfish git, I don't give a monkeys about you, but if you jump I am going to have to live with having seen it, whether I could have stopped it and frankly a whole load of angst I could do without. Stop it. Now. Ok, so that will take more than ten seconds to say and I'll be like 'oh...hes already gone...oops!' How about 'LOOK! A FLYING BANANA!' Well, it might freak him out long enough to stop, right? On the other hand he might look around for the flying banana, and overbalance and FALL off. That would suck, especially if he'd changed his mind already. Ok, I really shouldn't work as any sort of crisis counsellor.

This is quite hard. It also depends on the reason why he's jumping or she.
