Double FAIL! Who the hell would go to a payphone while having a usable cellphone? And that must make chances of commiting suicide rise by at least 20 %.. Most depressing sight ever!

The “dispatcher may return to the line” means the dispatcher who answers the phone and routes you (to either the suicide hotline or other service if you have a car breakdown or something) may come back on the line while you’re talking to the suicide hotline. The would want to do that because they likely are going to be sending cops and an ambulance to get you while you’re talking to the hotline people.

At least suicidal morons are spared the indignity of being put on hold before death.

“For safety reasons, the dispatcher may return to the line at anytime’

Please make the call before the jump. That gives us the time to start our web cams to capture your moment of ‘Extreme FAIL.’

Actually, they put fence up along the bridge over the fort to keep tourists from chucking garbage over the side onto people’s heads.

The Marin side still doesn’t have that fence, and is probably rockier…

Actually the first 1/4 mile is over rocks.
Rocks=certain death ocean=possible rescue.
When I lived in SF 10 yrs ago the 10,000th person had jumped.
Popular spot!

That’d be 1-800-DEY-DEAD, but if you’re just going to blubber about how you didn’t mean to 911 works just fine.

This would be funny, but in light of recent events…all humor has been sucked out of this fail.

I’m calling this a personal-timing fail.

You think that anyone seeing somebody prepare to jump should pick up a phone and call help that is at least some miles away? I’d say that would be epic empathy fail…

I assume anyone jumping off this bridge already knows it’s fatal, or they’d jump off of something else. Saying fatal and tragic means it’s bad for you (fatal) and bad for someone else (tragic).

I think it’s a way of saying that someone cares, even if it’s a lie meant to trick them into not jumping, preventing someone from filling out boring paperwork.

They are jumping into the ocean. The fish take care of the cleanup. No muss, no fuss.

I think it’s not for the people who are going to jump, it’s for people who see people getting ready to jump. People who truly intend to jump won’t bother.

By: E

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:40:35 +0000

I think there’s cause for emphasis. I’ve seen a show on it and that jump is a pretty bad way to die and a pretty bad thing for people to have to clean up.

“The consequences of jumping from this bridge are fatal and tragic”

– wouldn’t “fatal” probably be enough of a consequence? Did they really need to add “tragic”?
