If all your friends jumped off a bridge, then would you?

Was there a sign saying “Don’t jump off the bridge?” If not, I smell a lawsuit!

we cannot stress enough the importance of paying attention to advisories and signage which are put in place to ensure your safety," said Siacamous RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Murray McNeil.

He can't stress it enough - that's obvious since stressing it achieved nothing.

The problem for the nanny state red-tape finger-waggers is that they have drowned the world in advisories and signage. Warnings are issued for every little thing, especially glaringly obvious conditions like wet pavement after a rainstorm. They have cried wolf repeatedly and have the brass neck to wonder why their cries are ignored.

To claim that signs 'ensure' safety is to have an irrational belief in their power. But, as this episode demonstrates, irrational people will ignore the magic signs especially when they are running with the crowd.

Bridge? 2AM? I wonder if alcohol might have been involved.

What’s with the British (Canadian, new Zealand etc) seemingly hate of the article “THE”.

When I get sick I go to THE hospital. Perfectly cromulent English word.

3 out of 4 jumpers agree - it’s perfectly safe.

Police say there is nothing criminal about the death.

Just criminally stupid.

Sad for the girl and family.

Made the mistake of keeping my legs open on a 40’ jump into the water once.

Sang soprano for an hour.

If this were the USA, the city would be sued for putting a dangerous nuisance in the way of the innocent group of people.

When I was a teen, hold my beer, and jump. Not as high but it was a bridge and you would go deep.

Might start a thread on this incident - where a girl was pushed off the bridge by a ‘friend’. Washington State.

“If all your friends jumped off a bridge, then would you?”

All those tats out there says these little girls absolutely would!

“If all your friends got tats head to toe, would you??”
