 I'm glad you brought this up, I had used the CDC estimated averages of attempt rates since that what we needed to use at my last job.

 Successful suicide rates show a significantly different trend.

Yeah, it's not suicide if nobody dies.

Not really..
Not even almost..
When you are trying to kill someone and they fail, there are lots of potential reasons.
Someone saw and stopped you.
Victim mounted a defense.
You missed.


Etc,,

If you're trying to kill yourself and fail, it's not uncommon for that to be a
Cry for help.
Maybe you didn't want dead as bad as you thought.
Throwing yourself out the window is a good way to get dead, but in a one story building?
Naah.
