Could have been scared of the process of dying more than dying itself. There's no guarantee it's fast or painless, or even effective, especially if falling from a great height.

right, but that's the point. he picked a public way of dying with not 100% certainty, and he was up there for a while. which means he was not 100% sure. people who reallly want to do it will do it.
