Fear of pain is the ultimate barrier between suicide and suicide attempt

I'm looking at these stats and getting around a 3.3% death rate from reported suicides.  I assume these numbers can be way off in either direction because of inaccurate attempts and inaccurate deaths by suicide.  I might be wrong but I would guess my own success rate would be carefully planned and 100%, but who knows.  

I'm honestly wondering though if the thought of pain is the main reason  people are unsuccessful?  I often wished of a state of Nirvana/nothingness, but do not want to experience the thought of physical pain, the pain of others because of my action, etc.

@SerpaeTetra the thought of failure is the reason most people are unsuccessful, and the thought of pain is the reason most people suffer.

Honestly I didn't understand what you are trying to say here could you describe it more ?
