There should be no need to post a sign to not jump off a bridge. That should be obvious. It’s 60 feet to the water.

The only reason to jump off the bridge is to risk death. If that is what you want to do, sometimes death wins. How can you sue when you intentionally put yourself in jeopardy?

This should be treated like a suicide. Just because it has a low probability of success does not make it any less a suicide, because flirting with death was the whole point.

“This should be treated like a suicide.”

Mustn’t there be intent for it to be suicide? I would think more like accidental death. Semantics. Dead is dead, but still...

Death by “misadventure.” In other words, Darwin Award.
