And here I was thinking that people who jump off bridges are psychiatricallly sound with no intent whatsoever on killing themselves.

Yeah, like they are just the adventurous type. They aren't near any mountains to climb, so a bridge will do.

I was thinking they didn’t finish the sentence, people who jump off bridges are obviously more intent on suicide than people who use uncertain methods. When you jump off a bridge you are not hoping that someone will see it as “a plea for help”, you really must want to die when you do that as opposed to someone who swallows a few pills in a place where someone is certain to try to save them. Hitting water from a great height is almost as certain death as hitting concrete from the same height.
