Really is that even a necessary thing? Which bridge will be next the Howard Franklin?
Gotta waste tax revenue someway.

If someone wants to splat themselves, so be it. If they can't jump off the bridge, they'll find somewhere else.
Now if we could just get "suicide by gun" separated from the stats re: "Gun deaths", we'd be doing OK.

- I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you... -
Jumpers fuk up the morning commute big time. Divert them somewhere that does not inconvenience the rest of us.
....and some rin up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stanes to pieces wi' hammers, like sae mony road-makers run daft - they say it is to see how the warld was made!

If a person can't find a suitable bridge the nearby multistory building will have to do. Here's hoping the leaper doesn't hit your car.

Won't work....wire cutters or knife depending on material it's made of.
Plus it would be real easy to climb over it.
This is stupid

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you're right
I sat for over an hour for a jumper on the skyway one time, I would have pushed that mother F'er if I was closer
Maybe they should just make it illegal to jump off bridges. Seems to be working pretty well in keeping drugs & guns out of the hands of people who would abuse them... or well, maybe not...
Maybe we should just ban all bridges over 20 ft high. Nobody needs a bridge that high anyway, amiright? Then we should ban any bridge with more than 2 lanes because if someone was going to illegally jump, somebody really smart like us would see them & with no training or experience whatsoever, wrestle the poor bastard off the rail & bring him to Jesus... well, yeah, so High Capacity bridges have to go. I'm sure you all see how this is just good common sense and all. Besides, it's For The Children... and somehow - I haven't sorted it all out yet but I'm totally sure of it, somehow It's All Trump's Fault people are jumping off bridges in the first place!
If I ever see someone trying to jump off a bridge I'm going to just drive right by. If I stopped & somehow managed to talk them out of it, they'd probably just wait a week & do it with a rental pistol from one my local ranges. Or one of yours.
And that would Really suck.
