[QUOTE]Originally posted by Luke87GT: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Venomized93: [qb] Wasn't that crazy at the end of the movie how many people jumped off in 2004. It showed at least 2-3 people a month. That's crazy! Plus you never hear about it on the news. To not glorify the death and the Golden Gate Bridge for suicide spot. [/qb][/QUOTE]yes, it looks like the media stopped reporting on these jumpers in the mid 90's in order to prevent drawing attention to the act for any new would-be jumpers. From the documentary, the number had reached 1000 somewhere around that time. The concern is that these milestone numbers will bring individuals that are looking to etch their name as the individual who was number XXXX. Now they will only report on it if traffic was involved, or if someone left their car in the middle of the bridge and held up traffic to make the jump. The other way is if the person is famous. I am still thinking about the camera work. Someone said it above, how in the world were they capturing these acts? Incredible. Another interesting question was the following "If you encounter a jumper what do you say to them?" I thought the answers shown in Tad Friend's passage were very interesting: "How are you feeling today?" "What are you doing tomorrow?" "If you don't have plans, lets make some plans, and if they don't work out, you can always come back here tomorrow" We had a family friend that made the jump about 12-15 years ago. His story was unique in that he accumulated serious gambling debt and was receiving threats on his family. I don't know anything about what his mental state was or if he was on any meds. He parked his car on the bridge, ran out and threw himself off. It looks like he didn't want to chance anything since he went over the rocks, not the water. [/QB][/QUOTE]
