No, at best you'll get a bruise.

Suicidal idealization as a coping mechanism for stresses one lacks better coping mechanisms for isn't a good reason to follow through on killing one's self. I'd work on improving your selection of coping mechanisms so that this ceases to be the default.

It won't help and won't be half as fun as you imagined.

Several years ago, a sheriff elsewhere who grew up in my county died from being hit in the chest while he was trying to stop a bar fight.

Whether or not you can hit yourself in the chest that hard might be questionable.
