Kids especially would be scarred for life seeing that.

I imagine they don't realise the aftermath really because so much is going on in their heads, I don't think they mean to put the people who saw it through trauma they just want to end their life.

I remember something like this happened in the bullring the other week, I wasn't there but I read that people were taking pictures of it.

This.

Clear thinking and reasoning probably just goes out the window.
At the point they reach,where the confidence comes to where they want to end their lives there and then, as the best opportunity presents itself to be sure their life will be ended.

They never think of how their family may get on after their death, the loss of likely insurance that will not pay out on death if it is suicide, nothing likely matters except they are at the end and really will not and cannot take any more of what has brought them to this really no hope at all scenario.

I would be sad and affected for a time by seeing someone die this way,however I would be so sad that anyone felt that way and felt they had no one or nowhere to turn to.
Just grateful and hopeful that I or no one may ever have to feel that way or reach such a desperate point in life.

If it was that, they would just take a bunch of pills or hang themselves at home or something though...not decide to do it in a public place.

I guess there is always going to be someone coming across the body, but there is NO need to make sure hundreds of people see it tbh.

Yeah I think you're right, its more that it just isn't something that would come under consideration I suppose. It's easy for us to say things like "why didn't they think about this...???" but I guess when you've reached that point you're not thinking like someone normally would, so maybe they can't be judged in the same way.

The kind of mental distress/trauma someone goes through at that point would override rational thought I suppose.
