What'd be awesome is, if someone can get the idea to sucide jumpers to not jump. But get a gun and go postal.

I reccomond something which will idolize you in fame for every anniversery. Like hitting up a holocaust museum and succeeding. :lol:

Before the haters come in, why not? He's jumping anyway let him have some fun he'd never regret. compared to jumping and hitting that HARD stone water regretting jumping as his spine breaks and he drowns.

I do find the idea of jumping from such a bridge appealing. :shrug:

But I'm not 40.

And I hope that person shoots you and your friends, if you have any which I doubt.

I feel this strongly; like if Blackwater sets up a bureau in your town...

"he recount[ed] a slowing of time initially, and mid-fall, when fully realizing the oncoming impact, strove to adjust his attitude to the vertical feet-first position. An almost perfect entry was achieved. Although dazed, he swam to shore" and checked into a hospital, where his worst injury turned out to be several cracked vertebrae.

The doc The Bridge is worth watching, but quite chilling and sad.

"56.4 percent were never married, 19.4 percent were divorced, and 74.2 percent were male"

So this means 56.4 never married + 19.4 divorced = 75.8 pct were single.

Simply put, 3 out of 4 jumpers were either male, single or both.

Instructive. Change the sex of the 'typical' jumper and we'd be extorted into donating dollars at the check-out counter of grocery stores, to fund fact-finding commissions and meretricious marathons.

Actually it is about 2% survive. Still poor odds.

It's always amazed me that people who suicide don't try to make a decent impact with their death more often!

Flipper. And to think people like Teapots gleefully club both of those animal species.
