Re: Hoover Dam Suicide

The man in the beige cap passing in front of the camera at the very beginning is the jumper.

The fall and tumble is some 700 feet total. Supposedly there are 4 jumpers a year on average at the Hoover Dam.

Officials that have ramped up efforts to catch them say that they pay extra attention to dam visitors that show up alone, looking detached and far off.

Evidently this was shot before they ramped up efforts.
What an awesome capture! It was really cool how they caught the dude on camera before going over.

Maybe it is just common sense but in Philly on bridges and other areas where suicide is common they have have fence with it curved inward to prevent suicides.
