Golden Gate Suicide Net
October 12, 2008
In their wisdom San Francisco council has decided to put a net on the Goilden Gate Bridge to stop people trying to kill themselves by jumping from the bridge.
It’s quite a problem apparently.
This goes to the same argument, do we stop building tall buildings because people will jump off them?
Surely there is a better way to spend that money, like counselling, mental health beds, more doctors to specialise in psychiatry? A net is not going to stop people jumping. They’ll just move to an easier more accessible place, or worse.
Think about the why not the how.
