Understanding scale is everything - a new world is possible through deep thinking and imagination. My purpose: helping others achieve their purpose









Yes, there’s a study done on this specific bridge. They followed up with survivors of suicide attempts. 94% did not go on to end their lives following the attempt. See below “… a psychologist named Richard Seiden decided to find out. Interestingly, a large number of people have either survived the fall from the Golden Gate Bridge or been stopped just before they jumped. So the universe of survivors is 515. When Seiden followed up on those 515 people, he was asking something very simple: How many of those 515 are still alive? And how many went on to complete suicide? If there’s displacement, then the people who are prevented from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge would’ve gone on to kill themselves some other way. But if suicide is coupled to the bridge, then the people who’d been stopped from jumping or survived should still be alive. The answer is that 485 were still alive, and 25 went on to kill themselves.”
