The net does what now

Published by SJ under General

Top of the morning to you.

I notice that plans muted earlier in the year to build a net under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are coming to fruition. I remember at the time this was first suggested that I thought it was quite interesting. Interesting for a number of reasons, one being that San Francisco is pretty much understood to be the homosexual capital of the world, second of which it is has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Why is that?

Anyway, back to the net

If you want to commit suicide, and you jump off a bridge, and you land in a net, did you suddenly lose the will to continue the suicide attempt?

I think if you were committed to the cause wouldn’t you just crawl to the end of the net and role off the end? I mean, even if you for some reason break your leg and you are lying in that net in pain, surely you must think that you have even failed at suicide, making you even more determined to ‘do the deed’.
