I've been on this one:

It is the bridge across Royal Gorge in Colorado it is 960 feet to the river below.

In the middle of the bridge when I was there many years ago were a couple of these signs:

Glad you posted that - I was going to. I went across that sucker in about 1968. IIRC it sways and you can look through the boards down to the Colorado. Crazy and well worth it.

When I was there way back when there was an Ex Vietnam Helicopter Pilot that flew a Tour in a Hughes 500 I believe. He flew it under the Bridge.

I’ll have to check and see if he’s still there. I couldn’t talk my Brother into doing the Tour with me but there was a two person minimum so it was a no go.

My Brother was an A & P Mechanic. If it doesn’t have Wings, he won’t get near it.

The signs on Golden Gate says that jumping form this bridge may be fatal, ya think? They also have a hotline to crisis counselors.
