Now I’m understanding why people always wait until their family is away for the weekend or they are totally alone to do it.

Also, the risk of someone else getting hurt trying to save you. Someone I knew tried jumping off a bridge onto a train track, a guy saw her and pulled her off but he ended up getting hit by the train instead. She’s walking around (still with injuries from the fall, but fairly alright) with the knowledge that her act killed someone else, I would feel so awfully guilty about that for the rest of my life.
