facebook post, comments: 02.19.26, Dennis A., I saw him there yesterday around 1am sad 02.19.26, Virginia Y., This is pretty insensitive. Let's share a photo of a individual at the lowest point of his life. • we get that a lot. we will still post images of people performing newsworthy actions in public places. 02.19.26, Scott N., The fence doesn't work i looked at it. I knew people could climb it. • of course people can get over the fence. don't let the fact it has prevented what would normally be around 30-40 jumpers historically so far, alter your opinion. 02.20.26, Andrea T., I hope he reads these comments one day and realizes that his life is worthy of living. Bad days come and go but $uicide is forever. disagreement |

while some wishing to self-cancel their existence do manage to circumvent the
barrier, much to the joy of the barrier detractors, the jump records since
2021 continues to prove that
the barrier
has been a positive deterrent to people jumping off the bridge. we will update as things come along. new additions to this site will be listed here. feel free to contribute. if you are having trouble dealing with life and everything that comes with it, make the effort to find and use the help that is available to you. life is indeed worth living. remember, you are responsible for your own well being. love who you are and who you can be. always maintain an effort to improve upon yourself and allow no one to affect that. rid yourself of those that hold you back, no matter who they are. be they stranger, friend, or even family, lose the destructive forces tearing you down. end your addictions, be they drugs, alcohol, love, social media, and/or whatever consumes you to a negative degree. better yourself. associate with those that care about you. become stronger and healthier in body and mind. by all means, talk to people that can help you. do keep an eye on your friends and family members that may be despondent and depressed. check in on those that need checking in on. a few kind words and a helping hand, may be all it takes to send them down a better path. be well, everyone. |

sure, the barrier detractors will still cry
their "the suicidal will just find
another way!" tears of despair. however, self-deathers will not be performing their public display of self-elimination on the public skyway bridge, to anywhere near the extent as the pre-barrier years. that, my dear detractors, is the sole purpose of the barrier. |
