I can’t help but think of how traumatizing it would be had he not made the catch. Having to relive someone falling through your arms to their death would be rough.
You're thinking through the viewpoint of a savior, this person didn't want to be saved. He shouldn't have felt guilt if he didn't save them but at some point we need to respect people's decision to opt out.
If I ever committed attempted that it would be because of an incredibly horrible mental distress that drove me to it. Something I would want to be saved from.
In these cases you have to look at it like they are insane, they are out of their minds, even if they want to die they shouldn't and we have to stop them. There are many MANY people who regret attempting suicide.
You're assuming suicide attempts are spur of the moment and not something they decided ten years ago that's been reassured every monotonous day since. They likely regret it because of how scarry it was, and now instead of being tired of life they're scared or death.
Getting a couple seconds of air time doesn't fix your issues.
No but you got issues, issues can be fixed. I don't understand, I know someone who was in a situation you describes, years of trauma and depression led to multiple suicide attempts. But they were so proud to tell me they had just gone a year without suicidal thoughts. If even one person out of a thousand could get to that point it would be proof to me to never EVER encourage suicide.
