I never did understand jumping off bridges. You are more likely to break bones then die. (not that death isn't a significant risk) But unless you're jumping off a tiny building, it seems that a leap would be 99.9% effective.

Oh, and as I have mentioned, using a gun is far easier and quicker, and "should be" less painful. Point is, even without a gun, suicidal people will find a way to kill themselves regardless.

MY take on the article is that people who jump from stuff or try to OD are not very successful. I could see how letting go of a ledge would be harder then pulling a trigger and I guess people who try to OD just don't take enough stuff, puke, or are found.
