Not the way to do it

From the Denver Post:
A motorist at the summit of Pikes Peak appeared to have been trying to commit suicide when he ran off the end of the parking lot and plunged at least 800 feet this afternoon, according to El Paso County rescuers.
Bad idea. Very bad idea. For one, the fact that Pikes Peak is crazy crowded means that someone's going to see you doing it, so you're quite likely to get rescued if you're even remotely alive - which increases your chances of living life as a semi-vegetable, conscious of what's going on around you but unable to actually do anything about it other than grunt when you mess your pants.

But more importantly, a medical search and rescue costs big bucks. They won't charge you for search and rescue if you're able to walk out under your own power (although I'm not sure if that applies to having gotten yourself into someplace stupid on purpose), but as soon as they have to do a medical evacuation, you're paying. And it won't be cheap. Although it wouldn't surprise me if they'll charge you the SAR fee even if you are able to walk out on your own, just for being an idiot.
