Re: Suicide Jumpers From The Movie, The Bridge
I found this online on 1 survivor. Apparently if you attempt to jump in feet first there is a small chance you will survive. Probably why most people who commit suicide don't go in feet first  1 Kevin Hines San Francisco, California Picture 2-37 Location: Golden Gate Bridge (Over 1500 Suicides)  At the age of 19 Kevin Hines battle with bipolar disorder became so intense that he finally decided to end his life. In the year 2000 he attended his first class at school , and then took a bus to the Golden Gate Bridge, crying all the way. Hines picked his spot and stood there for 40 minutes. No one approached him to ask what was wrong and when a tourist came up and asked whether he could take her photo, Hines thought that was clear proof that no one cared. He took the picture, and then jumped. Instantly he realized he had made a mistake and thought to himself “God save me”. As he was falling Hines came up with a plan to save his life, and threw his head back and tried to hit feet first. Hines was hurtled 40 feet underwater but miraculously survived. Hines endured arduous physical rehabilitation after his near-death experience, but said dealing with his bipolar disorder had been far more difficult. He now lives by a strict schedule, and has found a combination of drugs and therapy that allows him to regulate his manic highs and depressions. Currently, Hines works with several mental health groups and suicide prevention hot lines. |

Re: Suicide Jumpers From The Movie, The Bridge
Whatever the consequences, I'm sure the last thing through their mind before they hit the icy water was, a) I can't hear anything with this dang wind whistling through my ears....What did you say? b) Dammit, I paid that guy with the "I teach bungee" sticker on his van 50 bucks....or c) "Lt. Dan!!!!!! Hey Lt. Dan!" |
