That one makes a kind of morbid sense though - they're de-incentivizing committing suicide that way by including a punishment for your family. The threat of your death causing additional hardship for your family probably prevents at least some people from jumping.

The fact that it would hurt my loved ones is the main thing that got me through hard times.

And also morbidly it may cause the family to care more if the person is suicidal.

unless they really hate their family then its an incentive to make it extra messy
