Suicide Smulator at Location with High Suicide Rate.

Install a booth with a vr headset like oculus rift, simulating what it would be like to die there. After the simulation, offer information about seeking help if needed.

This will be popular with tourist, and hopefully people who wants to kill themselves

Suicide hotline https://upload.wiki...sageggb01252006.JPG
The golden gate bridge has a phone that connects to a suicide hotline. [Voice, May 07 2014]

       Anywhere on the Tobu Tojo train line north of Tokyo, people jumping under the train was the major cause of delay of morning classes, as the train line stops to pick up the bits.

       I think this Idea will backfire. A number of people stop themselves from committing suicide because they can't quite work up the nerve to go through with it. A simulation won't give the user the pain at the end of the simulation, but could ease the fear of heights, or vertigo ....

       I think there would be some merit in a book that documents only the unfeasible/painful means of killing oneself. I had a rough moment a few months ago, and thought eating a bottle of tylenol might fix the situation. Im glad i didn't because it would have taken 6 days and a liver failure to do the trick.

       Every first-person-shooter has this non-option: get into the game and all of a sudden <bam>.

       What if the suicides don't want to be smulated?

       Well, that's their progative.

       Ok, what image flickered in your mind?   

       Visualization of a situation, even if negative, will just further reinforce that brain pattern.

       How about the simulator plus a counseling booth manned 24/7 right there?
