Geez it would be tempting to head down there and yell out - "Well, make up your mind, are you gonna jump or not?!"

I came close to hitting one on the M5 one afternoon (long before the bridge cages were put up).
I swerved just in time to miss the guy as he was mid-air ... poor woman in the Magna behind wasn't so lucky ... she ran over the guy and careered off the freeway through the grass and into a ditch.

It was averaging about one a week off the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane when it was first built but it was never reported. It now has a safety fence in place. |

Am surprised that they consider this a taboo subject for the media to broadcast.

Ask any journo, councilor or shrink. The media has to be SO careful about reporting suicides - for the exact reason of copycats. It's not just an unwritten rule in journalism, i think its actually in black and white.

While I agree it shouldn't be reported, I am amazed that the journalist are willing to abide by it when they report so much other crap that has a similar impact on some people. They prance around like they are above the law, and are often far from impartial. ps, TABOO - Something that is generally not talked about. A topic that makes people uncomfortable like death

Well the media doesn't seem to have any problem reporting suicide bombers, now does it? I don't see a rush on people in Australia going and strapping plastique to their waist and blowing themselves to kingdom come...
