Also, how long would it take for one to stay conscious until they plummet to their death?

I was actually approached by cops on that bridge when I was just waiting for my family to catch up with me. Anyone alone and lingering around that area are probable targets for law enforcement. I'd say it's not the best site to pick for this reason it's likely you may just get caught before you even get a chance to attempt.There was a documentary a while back on people ctb from the Golden Gate Bridge, probably worth checking out if you're interested in going that route.
I'm not sure that it's actually easy to get out there and make the jump. I lived in SF briefly years ago and my understanding was that they got cops on the bridge pretty fast as soon as someone was spotted on the bridge who looked suspicious. Also I think that they've beefed up the physical barriers so it's not so easy to just jump these days, though I could be wrong about that. Definitely something worth investigating before going further with a plan.
Why would you pass out? It's just like skydiving, and I've been skydiving in freefall for much longer than a bridge jump. You're not going to pass out because you're weightless effectively and not experiencing G forces. The G forces start when you hit the water.As for being conscious when you fall, I've often wondered that. Some say you pass out at a certain velocity, others say this has no evidence behind it.
You'd potentially pass out if you jumped out of a commercial airplane at a cruising altitude due to the lack of oxygen at +30,000 feet, but otherwise I agree that free fall itself doesn't inherently cause you to pass out.Why would you pass out?

That was years ago. It is impossible now.I watched a document about people falling from high places, and they said that falling from 15 meters to water feels like hitting the concrete.
