Re: Suicide Jumpers From The Movie, The Bridge

Out of all the horrible videos on this site, there is something about that "Jean" guy at the end, who gets up there, stands and so gracefully falls to his death.

The person in leather with the long hair.

I cant imagine whats going on in these peoples lives or heads that cause them to do this. I gotta see the whole movie. I wanna know what went on behind this jean person that caused him to jump.

I cliff jumped from 100 feet. I broke two vertebrae and my tail bone. jumping from twice the height would undoubtedly end you..

Re: Suicide Jumpers From The Movie, The Bridge

So... I don't get it. Was this docu following the people around BEFORE they actually jumped? Is this why the forst two seem to be filmed form the same location? Otherwise, it would seem too random to be filming and people walk up and jump.

Perhaps I should watch the whole thing. :)

Great post though. THANKS!

No, Watch the whole movie. They filmed the bridge for a year straight. They always jump facing San Fran. And almost right in the middle, or on eithier side of the net that is in place to catch jumpers. Why dont they invest in a bigger net, I dont get why they dont.

I guess they figure if these people are that hardcore about dying, let em do it.

But to me I would be so scared of hitting and just being paralyzed and sinking and drowining fully awake. I could just never kill myself other than with a gun. I do understand the pain they go through that pushes them to this.

Will do. Thanks for the explanation!

But I agree... IF I ever had the balls to off myself, it'd be pretty damn quick.... and videotaped... and emailed to DR!
