Type of structure used frequently to commit suicide
This article is about bridges from which people commit suicide. For the novel, see Suicide Bridge.
A suicide bridge is a bridge used frequently by people to end their lives, most typically by jumping off and into the water or ground below. A fall from the height of a tall bridge into water may be fatal, although some people have survived jumps from high bridges such as the Golden Gate Bridge.[1] However, significant injury or death is far from certain; numerous studies report minimally injured persons who died from drowning.[2]
To reach such locations, those with the intention of ending their lives must often walk long distances to reach the point where they finally decide to jump. For example, some individuals have traveled over the 4.46-mile-long (7.18 km) San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge by car in order to jump from the Golden Gate Bridge.[3]
