Golden Gate Bridge

[sincerely dead]

I am going to San Francisco this weekend. My flight leaves in less than 12 hours. Is this a feasible way to go? I am terrified, but I feel I must.

the problem i have with deliberating these sorts of methods is that there is plenty, plenty of time to regret what youre about to do.

there's no turning back, whereas with a gun you can think about it up until the point you pull the trigger.

but yeah, giving yourself the only option to jump while youre stressing tf out is no way to go.

if you feel it's worth going through that sort of pain, you mind as well just live, life is full of those lessons of "the pain is worth it".

yes it is almost always fatal but most of it is netted already i'm not sure which parts you can still jump from if someone who lives in sf can answer

Last time I was there a huge fence was on the outer edge of the walkway for the bridge.. I know people have jumped before. Some were successful, others ended up living with traumatic injuries.

They've built a suicide prevention net on the GGB, so it's not a great place to CTB anymore.

The tragedy of the Golden Gate Bridge’s $400 million anti-suicide net

Spending $400 million to save 30 people a year in a country where more than 48,000 die annually by suicide is a misuse of funds.

I'm a local; the netting isn't quite finished being installed yet but may be relatively soon, maybe within a few months
