last nite on more4 i watched a programme about the golden gate bridge which is the single most popular suicide site in the world.the film was shot from various angles and caught on film half a dozen or so suicides from the 24 that took place in 2004,it interviewed friends and family of some of the jumpers and 1 who survived,
but what struck me the most was why the hell don't they just make the barrier a lot taller with inward curved railings at the top to make it almost impossible to climb.the barrier on the film was only about 4 feet high all they had to do was skip up and off they went.(anyone know if this has changed?)
The last jumper was the most bizarre.

They don't make the barriers because their is no point.
If your gonna jump your gonna jump, you will find a way.
If it ain't Golden Gate bridge it will be the Bay bridge 15mins away which is 3 times longer.

I question the ethics of crews that film people comitting suicide. In Scotland there is an anti suicide strategy and its known that many suicides can be prevented by encouraging someone to talk about their feelings. I agree with acid that some people will jump and have made their minds up to do it but there are many more who can be talked down. I'd like to know the details of any interactions (if any) between the film makers and people who jumped and if they encouraged people not to do it? Having spoken to many people who have attempted suicide, the vast majority are glad they got help and feel glad to be alive. I wonder if this film crew just stood back or tried to intervene?
