Taxpayer money at work.
Wut
did murica really do this
>>729181475
if you make the net sag enough to where they can't get out of it then It does work......
>>729181882
No but China did
>>729182003
this
plus, I'd wager a good number of people instantly regret jumping, so this net acts as a "2nd chance", so people can change their minds
just looked it up, the proposed "netting" is actually stainless steel, so pretty much a chainlink fence. I don't know if that's better or worse than a polymer that would sag. a polymer would more or less trap a person so they wouldn't be able to climb out, but a hard steel netting would hurt them enough that they may not be able to move, which I guess would be good too?

>>729181475
who's taxpayer money and where? Also your representation of the net is a strawman at best.
>>729182508
or the net could be shaped in way that wouldn't allow people to go over the edge of the net easily?
>>729182608
I'm not a lawyer, but I feel like they wouldn't be liable. if I jump off a bridge onto the asphalt below and break my legs, the city isn't liable for my injuries just because they own/constructed the bridge and the road
>>729182764
San Francisco transportation I believe is paying $211m for it, so most likely a combination of San Fran tax dollars plus state and federal loans
>>729182879
there's mockups of it out there and all of them look flat
>>729182608
You can't sue someone when you yourself are breaking the law.
>>729181475
Just build more nets underneath then
They should make them jump onto a big waffle. Pour syrup on top to make them stick
>>729182879
or made of spooder web
>>729182764
>>729182962
A mock-up isn't the real thing and it seems unreasonable to say that it's a waste of money based on how the mock up looks without knowing more about it. beyond that could you provide links to this project?

Just get a running start and superman over that bitch like fuck if I want to kill myself then move nigga I got shit to do
>>729182222
Noice numbers.
>>729181475
I can imagine people doing this just for the fun of it.
It works.
>>729182222
The net can be climbed out of. You nailed it though. It is a second chance net. the vast majority of jumpers that live say that they instantly regretted trying to kill themselves.
I've never understood why retards jump off of bridges into water. It's not like you're hitting something like concrete so you almost never die.
>>729186534
lol they instantly regretted the fear/impending pain
wouldn't happen if they gassed themselves with nitrogen
fucking retard, don't respond you're too dumb my iq is 215
>>729181475
They are investing in not being known as the place where lots of people kill themselves. It's about image.
>>729186534
No fucking shit it's absolutely terrifying even if you are suicidal of course you're going to regret it.
>>729182764
Shut the fuck up idiot
>>729186639
You should do some research on how water tension works. hitting water from really high up isn't that different from hitting concrete. Also its really much easier to jump off a bridge then it is to get to the top of a large building and then jumping off of it.

Caps lock only makes you look more retarded.
>>729187397
INTERNET TOUGH MAN! WHEW! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!
>>729183446
Nah they just starve to death while trapped in the net.
But the cause of death changes from suicide to starvation, so the stats are better.
>>729187497
ARE YOU NOT HAVING FUN? I THOUGHT THE WHOLE POINT WAS TO TRY AND INSULT EACH OTHER AND PISS EVERYONE YOU CAN OFF! IT'S NOT LIKE WE WERE EVER HAVING AN INTELGIBLE CONVERSATION, TO BEGIN WITH! JUST MORE YELLING AND NAME CALLING!

At least 20 people yelled "jump bitch" or something when I walked the golden gate last year and 20 more honked

Well this thread was interesting unril shouty mc big mouth started up.
Rip in peace thread, maybe some bridge jumping retards can continue the debate without a spastic caps typer

Will you 2 retards shut the fuck up
>>729183285
200 million dollars for a fucking net?
sounds like i should get in the net building business
Sheeeeit
>>729187906
did you somehow make yourself look suicidal?
i walked the golden gate a couple years ago and not a single person cared, which is exactly what i would expect
>>729189501
That's only the net figure check out the gross.
Also caps lock guy die in a fire please.
>>729183404
>Install giant fucking net under the walkways of Golden Gate to deter suicide
>Kill self any other way
>>729189717
I see what u did
>>729190102
yeah but then you didn't kill yourself on the golden gate bridge. That's all they care about. Plus some politicians friend who funds his campaigns gets a contract to build a net. Everyone wins.
>>729189717
ALRIGHT ILL GO DIE IN A FIRE! YOU GO DIE IN A WELL OF SELF PITY! FUCKING RETARD! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW SUICIDE NETS WORK!
>>729191358
Please demonstrate
>>729182222
quads NEVER lie
>>729186639
You should go give it a try.
Honestly what's the point of trying to stop people from committing suicide? It's their choice, why do we have priority over their wishes?
>>729186534
Also, if someone saw the net they wouldn't jump. They'd just find another way. The net is the most retarded idea ever. The jumper won't just jump and say "WHOOPS there's a net here, I have a second chance to make up my mind!" Whoever thought of the concept is a retard.
>>729194312
Sounds like you're suicidal. Wanna talk about it , bud?
>>729194419
I was. I made a deal with myself that if I didn't kill myself, I'll live the rest of my life without giving a fuck about my safety and disregard consequences of things (have no worries). It's gone pretty well since then.
>>729194629
Don't cut yourself on those edges, bud
>>729181475
Unless it's a public building, taxpayer money had nothing to do with it...
Further, those nets aren't there for suicidal fuckdonkeys; they're there to keep people who DON'T want to die from dying by slipping off the edge... Usually used in conjunction with helicopter pads on roofs...
>>729183040
This: >>729183288
That's why if you plan to use a firearm for home defense, be prepared to SHOOT TO KILL.... Because dead men don't hire lawyers... Also, it's why a firearm is 500x better for home defense than "non-lethal" options (like, say, a baseball bat or something). Bust someone up with a bat, and you stand the chance of going to prison for aggravated assault....... Even in your own living room, against someone who most definitely meant to do you and your family great harm...
