Don't Jump! (A comment on the Golden Gate)

The Golden Gate Bridge is a popular little spot.
For Comitting Suicide.



Like really, it happens all the time.
There's a movie about it and it's widely known as the most popular bridge in the world to jump off.

HELLO PEOPLE, that's because it's EASY!!
Look at the barrier/human height ratio here:



You quite literally can jump off this thing. Unlike the very suicide-user-un-friendly setup of the Sydney Harbour Bridge...



This thing is literally a case of "hop on over". It's no wonder they have a suicide prevention system...(a button?! really?).



And look, I love the Golden Gate bridge, but this seems to me like a bad case of Californian image protection. God forbid they put an ugly fence up on their beautiful bridge...
