Too late for two friends, but a fine step for the future.

    Interesting. So metal mesh 20 feet down…hurts like hell and you will probably be injured. I guess if you wanted to finish you’d just work up the energy to roll off? Or have to stand and jump again? Morbidly interesting.

    What the US needs is comprehensive, free mental health care for people suffering and legal assisted suicide for those who want to opt out of life because of permanent physical ailments (pain, deadly illnesses etc)

      You just about stole the words outta my brain.

      The ‘net’ is solid stainless steel, twenty feet below the bridge deck. The drop will seriously injure jumpers, which might make sense — maybe leaving them unable to crawl to a final jump — but really, the whole project only makes sense if there’s mental health care available to the survivors afterward, and we all know there’s none of that in America.
