Would you jump of a cliff if you're friend did it?

Unless it was a life or death scenario/it was ensured that neither of us would be hurt, no. That's just ridiculous. Maybe I should get knocked down by a car and hope my friend follows suit too while I'm at it.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

And if I jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, Tell me would you still follow me?

That is just a stupid thing to do, to be honest.
That will not help in getting them back, so why jump?

If a very dear friend of mine jumped off, I would be very sad.
But there is no way I'll follow unless there's something special about this case.

What's at the bottom of the cliff? Water or some kind of relatively soft landing? Or hard, jagged rocks?

If the answer to the above question was 'Water or some kind of relatively soft, safe landing' then my answer would be yes. I think doing things like base-jumping and parachuting sounds like a lot of fun and as long as we land safely into the water or soft landing, then I don't mind.

However, if it's 'hard, jagged rocks' then my answer would be no, I'm afraid.

No way, I'd try to talk them out of it.

First of all, I wouldn't let any of my friends jump off a cliff in the first place, and second, no, I wouldn't jump either. I guess the exception is if we were in an action movie universe where we had to in order to escape an explosion or something and came out fine X3

I wouldn't even allow my friend to jump off any cliff in the first place. xP

But in any case, me jumping off a cliff is kinda silly and would probably make my family and friends sad. ._.

That's ridiculous, nobody should jump off a cliff because a friend did. If a friend of mine was going to jump off a cliff, of course I'd ask why and say that it's a stupid thing to do, but if they did jump off, I wouldn't be doing any help by jumping after them and I wouldn't even care for them enough to do it.

I don't think I would. Even if I jumped down to save them would I REALLY fall fast enough to reach them. What if I fall faster then they do? Also even if I did we both would more than likely die anyway so...no. if I knew we weren't going to die but for somethinng like bungee jumping then yes I would haha :P.

Most likely not, but I would have to ask myself a few things.

Did my friend survive jumping off the cliff? Did he/she suffer serious injuries? Will I stand to profit or gain anything from jumping off the cliff? Or is it just for bragging rights? Is this a team building exercise where one of my colleagues is supposed to catch me if I jump? Do I trust said colleague? Am I so deep in the hole financially that this is my only option? What will be my body's velocity at the point of impact?

Ah, so many things to ponder before making the jump...
