For decades, there had been an average of 30 each year. With a new deterrent in place, there were none in the second half of 2025.

One of the most (personally suicide-deterring) quotes I’ve ever read is from Golden Gate Bridge jump survivor Ken Baldwin.

I realized then that all of the problems in my life that I thought were unsolvable were in fact solvable—except for having just jumped.

There’s nothing more horrifying to me than the possibility of realizing that regret.

There’s also a documentary called The Bridge that recorded jumpers while they were filming. “During filming, on average, one person jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge every 15 days.”
