Caught a jumper attempting to suicide on my dashcam today

[Simaahoy]

Bath Salts?

Under the influence of alcohol? note the lcbo nearby

Either we're getting trolled by OP or that man. If he was really about that life he would've been more serious with it. Like cmon? pills? 4 story + jump at least?

I'm sorry to say that dude is an attention wh0r3. If I was there I would of let him jump. They're going to close a street down cuz of this? He'd be lucky to even break his legs from that height.

Bath Salts?

Wow man!! Nice pics. Good image quality for a dashcam. It's nice.

I encounter some of those basta*rds on the lions gate bridge here in Vancouver every once in a while. I just cannot get my mind around planning to do it on the narrowest of vancouvers bridges at rush hour. Like.. why not do it elsewhere.. :s just seems weird to me that'd they would want anger motorists yelling "get it over with and jump" at the guy for holding up everyone in gridlock

Really? are you a sales person?

No just delusional.

[Joshray]

Off to the mental hospital he goes.

OP, what dashcam is that?

OP, what dashcam is that?

The first thought that came to my head was, "wow that is a really good quality dash cam."

I used to inline skate across that area every school day back in high school and it seems like the kind of area where there are a lot of people with mental illness hang out so the suicide attempt doesn't surprise me. It's getting a bit better now with the new businesses coming in.

If I came across this I would do everything I could to sneak past the police and get close enough to talk to the jumper. I'm fairly certain I can convince anybody who's even thinking about killing themselves that they should live.

If I was close to a ledge, and had you telling me about your accomplishments, I'd be tempted to jump.

okay. what about a guy who just got out of jail with no prospect of good job, has a kid with cancer (just died) and girlfriend just dumped him and left him with HIV

talk him out of that!

sounds likea more challenging talk down, but I could definitely do it.

If I was close to a ledge, and had you telling me about your accomplishments, I'd be tempted to jump.

Obviously the key to talking with somebody in a state like this would be to ask them questions about themselves and help them come up with resolutions for their own problems. I wouldnt be talking about my awesome backflipping skills. You would be so overwhelmed by my awesomeness you might jump from jelousy

wheres the blood and crakced windshield?

The jumper looks high to me

Lol, my first thought was also about the dashcam.

Many people that attempt suicide can be fixed. Mind as well make an attempt to save a person's life.
