For those attempting a suicide aiming at the chest, the heart is target. Deflection by the ribs can be an issue. Stone suggests aiming under (or between) the left side ribs, with an upward trajectory toward the right side of the neck. Even if fatal heart damage is not caused, there is a fair chance of fatal results by hitting either the aorta (largest artery) or the vena cava (largest vein), or their major branches.

Using a shotgun if aiming at the chest will also increase the chances of a fatal outcome due to the fact shot spreads out and can cause extensive damage even if not aimed quite correctly.

The most important factor in suicide by jumping is height. Stone2 states that jumping from 150 feet (46 metres) or higher on land, and 250 feet (76 metres) or more on water, is 95% to 98% fatal. 150 feet/46 metres, equates to roughly 10 to 15 stories in a building, depending on the height of one story. 250 feet is the height of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Ideally, anyone jumping on land should try and land on their head, as this maximises the chances of fatal head injuries.

shots under the chin are not recommended as people tend to flinch when they pull the trigger, changing the bullet's direction and thus reducing the chances of fatal brain damage.
