Apparently every person regrets suicide just as they've taken that step too far.. This makes me sad

Yes i've often thought of that and how terrifying it must be to have taken that step where you've swallowed 50 tablets and are just laying there waiting to die, and you have a jolt in your brain where everything suddenly becomes clear but its too late to do anything about it.

Its why I think for people considering it, it is absolutely essential that they talk about it with someone who knows where they're coming from, like The Samaritans.

How on earth could you possibly know that?

From people who survive?

In the documentary one of the jumpers had attempted suicide twice before, many people have failed attempts and then eventually kill themselves so not all change their minds evidently.

Maybe don't change their minds, but maybe still have that last minute remorse as they're actually doing it?

Logically if they had regrets the first time then it's reasonable to assume they wouldn't try again but a lot do, so that theory would be discredited.

I've known people who have committed suicide - my next door neighbour ad a friend jump from Bristol suspension bridge just 2 wks ago at 10am which suprised me as they are very savvy about people trying to jump these days !

I'm not sure if it was you i replied to in another thread a while back re :- a friend of mine who was dying of cancer and nearing the end , her son actually rang her as he jumped off the bridge and his words were 'Don't be afraid to die ' It was all so terribly sad he was only in his 20's and his poor mother was too unwell to even attend his funeral.

I have also known 2 people who had to be buried as the police couldn't rule out murder - so you have to have a burial , should any evidence come to light they may need to be dug up !
One was found hung whilst sat on a chair !

I also know of a chap who had grassed on someone (complicated story), he had police protection at his wedding but 6 wks later he had mysteriously got out of bed in the middle of the night and his wife found him hung in the porch - police believed he was forced to do this with a gun at his head - but there was no evidence !
