OT Golden Gate Bridge Jump.

[AllstarObsession]

A new kid at my school jumped off the golden gate bridge today.
on a school field trip.
just for the hell of it.

so now all of this drama is going on with my school and some reporters from a San Francisco newspaper, who is saying that the students from this class "urged" him to jump. Are you freaking kidding me!?!?!

I am terribly sorry. Wow.

 

[ACEDAD]

Wow. Can't believe he survived with almost no injuries.

 

[yougottabelieve]

i thought this would be about a suicide attempt (a topic that's close to me)... but woooow

 

[iluvcheer]

Wow... He did it for FUN? I just dont get why you would ever jump off a bridge for fun. Just saying.
So sorry this happened.

This was in the papers here in the UK as well!

Wow, I can only imagine what was going through everyone's mind immediately following the jump and even now despite the fact that he is thankfully safe. This incident is still disturbing to me...the article says he is a "recreational bridge jumper?" Sending lots of prayers to your entire school. I hope the student will clear up all rumors and take responsibility for his extremely dangerous/life-threatening jump.

im sorry your school has to go through this, but this boy needs to be put into a mental hospital and observed for at least 72 hours. this was extremely dangerous many people take their lifes on that bridge every year. its a miracle he survived let alone with minimum injuries.. prayers to your community.

I saw this when it was first reported, and just assumed that it was a suicide attempt. If my child ever did that, "just for fun", he may survive the jump-but he wouldn't survive momma.
