Matthew Mc., Sydney, Australia, I think this site is great. Suicide's funny, cause i don't know them. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SPLAT... i mean SPLASH. If they didnt want me laughing at their waterlogged corpses they should've jumped of the bridge.
John R., Clearwater, FL., It's sad but I feel there will be at least one more jumper this year. The holidays seem to bring out the worst in people that are
having problems. Besides back in October I lost a close friend to suicide, turns out he had big addiction problems and was ashamed and never sought out his friends for help. I just hope he is in a better place.
(the holidays are hard on many people. sorry
about your friend.) unknown, To anyone reading this, I want you to know that I knew a person who died there this year. At the time I wanted answers to many questions. I found this site while doing a search. At first it was very shocking that it exsisted, but I turn down the sound and read the entries and now try to understand, which you never will. It gave me many answers to the questions those of us who know these people are asking. To me this site has now become a place to grieve privately for everyone going thru this. I pray for everyone who sees someone, finds someone or knows someone on these pages. I now don't feel like the only person in the world who has to have this in their life.
(seems most everyone we know has had suicide in their life
at some point. it seems suicide is more common than most people realize.)
Jayme, Trinity, Florida, USA, Woo Hooo!!! Saddam should have manned-up and jumped himself!!!
(he did. in a hole.)
Kat, Kidderminster, UK., Dont jump in front of trains, I hate getting stranded miles away from home, while there trying to clean you off the tracks.
trish, arnold, md., usa, i think suicide sucks and would never do it but hey if they wanna then we can talk, read, or joke about it all we want.
Jayme, Dunedin, Fl., Well, I love death and depression so this is definitely the right place for me to be! I think jumping off the skyway is the right way to go about it. unless you take a massive amount of pills. I mean what other way do you live for about 10 seconds and its all over. Only 10 seconds (okay, maybe a minute) and WAM you're squished! Fabulous idea. I'll be sure to tell all my friends!
Danielle B., myersville, MD., USA, This is a pretty cool website. It may be wrong-but I found myself laughing at some of these jumpers.
(sometimes we do too.)
Servant of God, Suicide is a demonic spirit that works for depression, mental illness, rape or molestation. Murder or even poverty. The cure is Jesus Christ. Depression is not part of one's personality. It invades the soul through the realm of darkness. Jesus, the power of His name and faith in His name alone can and will set you free. Ask Him to remove the spirit of suicide and replace it with the spirit of Joy, believe that He can and watch Him set you free. Coninuing to FIGHT the demonic forces of suicide over this bridge and all people and PRAISE THE LORD there has not been another jumper since the 12th. A servant and prayer warrior for the Kingdom of Light.
(insert 'twilight zone' theme music here.)
R.Grim, I think your website is pretty good, maybe some pictures would be nice. Maybe something like Rotten.com or Orgish.com. I don't think this website is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I really enjoy your come backs towards the families when they write you to complain. And how would they find your website if they weren't looking for it, so they must have known what was
coming to them. Well good luck in the future. Take care.
will, tampa, i dont see any problem with this site. shit if someone jumps its all in the media anyways. all these people whining makes me wanna jump.
John R., Clearwater, FL., Tis the season for more jumpers FA-LA-LA-LA-LA LA.
Tab, think the site is a hoot. and yes. i have known someone who ended their life. keep up the good work.
Tanya, Wow Phil! Still a fine site. Sad people still jump but what a beautiful way to go! Nice pics too! It really is a gorgeous bridge!
(thanks, tanya, we try.)
Tom, Hah...this site is wrong...but I hope I'm right? Thanks for posting the -news- because truthfully, thats all it really is. Sure It looks at things in a different light, and may even be morally incorrect. but realistically speaking, this is no different than reading about x number of soldiers being shot down in Iraq.
Lee G., Bellevue, NE, USA, All these people emailing, and saying "how could you do this", and "go to HELL", must not be able to read disclaimers. It clearly says "it's not a fun site to visit if you have been affected by suicide in any way.
if you feel your visit to this site will offend you or cause you grief in any way, leave now." But no. They continue to read on, and guess what? They get offended. I have had 2 suicides in my family (cousin, and Aunt) and this site doesnt offend me. I loved them to death, but sites like this arent the problem, and people shouldnt be so quick to place blame on places where it shouldnt be. This is media, and this site lets people know what is really going on out there. You only have the person who commits suicide to blame, not those who report/talk/or in some cases joke about it. I dont get a kick out of this site in a humorous way at all. Im not sitting here laughing when I read this stuff. I just find it interesting, and I dont see whats wrong with anything here. Lastly, those who are offended should blame the person who took their life, because after all, if they cared about you, as much as you say you cared about them, then they wouldnt have done what they did. Suicide is one of the most selfish acts anyone could do, because that person doesnt care about how his family and friends will feel when they are gone. Later, and keep up the good work on the site.
(sorry about your suicide history. we seem to be on the
same page, suicide is very selfish. the site detractors cause us no loss of
sleep. we love them.
thanks for the good words.)
kayla, bradenton, florida, usa, i really hope theres not suicides this year people shouldn't do
that! they should have more respect for themselves! and by the way i love youre site its amazingly
helpful! but i dont like the whole im a blonde i need to start over ! im a blonde i made it threw on my first run threw thank you very much mr. or mrs. or miss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(kayla waves her blondeness like a flag.)
Jack S., St Pete, I really dont think the people who jump realize how many people they effect when they jump. Not only their family and freinds but the poor guys who have to pull their bodies off the rocks and outta the water. Its not a pleasant site to see fish eating at someones rotting flesh after being in the water for days. Also pulling a girl from the rocks. It is very disturbing. I am not condeming your site I just wanted people to know its pretty
f**ked up to see the aftermath. I actually put in a guess for the pool. I'll probably be picking them up this weekend if it does happen. Later
(thanks, jack. please feel free to input
anytime you do pull someone out of the water or off the rocks.)
Jim, St. Petersburg, FL., My wife and I visited your site for the first time tonight. We could not
believe some of the comments people are writing. We in no way feel that you are promoting suicide. If anything, it is more of a deterrent. I can guarantee that more than half of the people who posted negative comments spent a great deal of time on your site reading the stories and comments before they decided to ridicule you. Typical hypocrisy! I do
believe in some cases the person who commits suicide does not show signs that it is coming. However, the people who are commenting that their loved ones were very troubled and showed signs, should have spent their energy trying to help them. If they spent half as much energy trying to help their loved ones as they do harassing you guys, they might still be alive today and would never have found the site to begin with. You guys are hilarious, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
(we
are sure that most, if not all, of the friends and family of the potentially
suicidal person, sees a change in that person. it may be gradual, subtle, and
vague, but it's a change that is noticed. perhaps it's blunt and to the point,
but no one believes they will go through with it. maybe they are sure they will
do it, but are helpless to help them. i'm sure this is a major source of
frustration in these friends and family when the person actually goes through
with their suicide. the friends and family feel somewhat guilty in allowing it
to happen. "i should have done something". but what to do? it is our
belief that when a person decides to end it all, that there is nothing anyone
can do to stop it, as sad as that is. thank you for your kind words and thank
you for visiting our site.)
David B., Tampa, FL, I was pretty good guessing football games all last year. Maybe it's time for bridge jumps.
Merilyn, Oldsmar, Florida, USA, My mother comitted suicide ten years ago, and I guess I am still trying to figure out why. I think your site is very interesting and appreciate all the emphasis on GETTING HELP.
(we are sorry for your loss. the thought of the torment
left on our children if we were to end our own lives is repugnant. it's just not
an option. we hope it has made you a stronger person more able to enjoy the life
your mother was unable to enjoy.)
jimmy, bradenton, fl., i think more people should use the sunshine skyway bridge as there selected tool of demise. that is to say, instead of using other tools or forms ( i.e. guns, rope, pills, etc.). i'm saying people that were already going to commit stupidcide. cause the more people that jump off the bridge, the more reading material for
us. moreover, jumping has got to be so much more exhilarating than the other ways. you know, one last adrenalin rush. i'll bet about 1/4 of the way down they feel pretty good. in fact, i wish the death rate off the bridge wasnt that high, then the survivors would prolly be cured. well i guess dieing is a cure too, my
bad. my last comment was about having a web cam set up on the bridge, but further thought has lead me to believe that a camera at water level would be much more exciting. does that make me sick? MUHAHAHA
Casey, Carthage, Thank you for the helpful information and somewhat overripe amusement! Yes, you are sick. Much sicker than me.
(overripe amusement? what the hell does that mean?)
d., So, how does one get the "balls" to jump? Even suicidal, some just cant do it. Also, even if one got the "balls" to do
it, surviving is far more crappier then dieing. So why would anyone do it? I know there is no sure fire way to die. I think the Skyway is much riskier then other methods. Survival rate, is still too much a factor.
Richard M., Big Pine Key, Fl., THIS IS GREAT! I only wish I had found this site sooner. I enjoy reading all the "hate mail" and wonder if we could set up a mirror site here in the Keys. We don't have any bridges high enough to kill yourself, unless you jump in front of a car, but we could set up the same contest on when the next endangered Key Deer is going to get hamburgered on U.S.1 - Reading this site is a good way to laugh the stress off at the end of the day and thanks! (thanks
richard. know of any places to stay during fantasy fest this year without paying
a fortune?)
Fred T., Bradenton, www.skywayjumpers.com,
I think your site is pretty interesting, and some parts are funny as hell! You've done a lot of work collecting all this info. Keep it up, and don't let the humorless bastards bring ya down! And check our calender, we'll be adding more gigs soon.
Jeff, Ohio, USA., This jumper will aim for a boat, but will land on the soft rocks below.
Todd R., Stuart, Florida, Im an avid parapsychologist (ghost hunter) and I am
truly perplexed as to whether the dead spirits are still down in the water or eventually find a way to climb back on the bridge. There is a report of a woman in a white gown who haunts the bridge. Maybe she is the only one who found a way to climb back up.
Maybe a new category could be was ghost present or not. (todd
inserts an article with his comments): Florida Sunshine Skyway Bridge - This bridge was the scene of a tragic accident during the early 1980's. The bridge was struck by a boat and collapsed, killing a great deal of people. The ghost that haunts the bridge seems to be unrelated to the accident. He is a hitchhiker that will climb into peoples' cars at the bottom of the bridge. By the time the unlucky individual gets to the other side, the hitchhiker is gone. Also, There is a woman dressed in a nightgown that appears usually around 12am at the top of the bridge and hitches a ride with oncoming cars. One semi truck had his story printed in the paper
where you should verify this story, its maybe possible these people go across the bridge and somehow are influenced by ghost, That on female jumper was said to have "scouted" the bridge with her family before she
jumped ((The souls of the ones who have jumped gets into them (team spirit) and they are compelled to jump)) he said he picked up a young woman, dripping wet and she told him to drop her off on other side of bridge but as soon as he got there, she was gone. There were many sightings of this woman on the bridge who locals believe was a suicide victim, one of many jumpers on the bridge. The Skyway Bridge is 200 feet tall and connects St. Petersburg to Sarasota.
(very interesting stuff. we have heard of this ghost, but
have not read anything about her. if you have any sources on this, please
send them in.)
Todd R., Fla., According to this, 200 feet is very survivable: Extreme dives. The world's record high dive was from the cabin of a zeppelin in 1936, 394 feet into a German lake. The world's highest voluntary dive from a stationary platform is 206 feet.
(todd, you are a wealth of jumper info. thank you.)
Todd R., Florida, 1. Everyone flirts with suicidal thoughts at some point in there life. Lets face it. Some get further than others.
2. I think the picture of the bridges on your site are a great deterrent. I was thinking about jumping but after i saw the height, I'll stick with my gun.
3. To the retards who disagree with this site posting about death, a) Everyday I read CNN our country is boasting how we killed more of the "enemy" as if they were some kind of cattle and there deaths mean nothing b) we spend 20 times more as a country developing ways to kill people (weapons, war technology) than we ever spend on suicide prevention. As humans, death is what we are all about. Wake up.
4. My final statement is this and it's how the law looks at it and also how this site looks at suicide. I was ordered to trial after a suicide attempt and the judge said "If you wanna kill yourself there is nothing we can do."
5. I have seen sites that post many pictures of death, car hit and run victims all the way though to suicide they post pics of the people who died. This site is mild in
comparison. What if there was a site that guessed how many people would die when the next hurricane hit. What about a site when the next US soldier in IRAQ is killed? It's irrelevant, this site
doesn't kill people. Actually if you should be mad at anything it should be the ocean for being so dam hard when your going 75 MPH. DEATH TO THE SEA!!!
p.s. I think you should also add to the pool, Did they leave a car or walk and did they leave a note or not. Also one interesting fact. People who
intentionally jump sometimes live because they are more relaxed, yet people who accidentally
fall never live. (thank you for your kind words. we hope
all is well with you now and thoughts of suicide are past. there are many joys
of life to be had and we wish you your fair share. as for adding the additional
"bonus points" items, we rarely hear about people leaving notes and
there are no walkers to the top that we know of. walkers are normally picked up
quickly before they reach the summit. after all, it is a well watched interstate
highway and no pedestrians are allowed.)
Rachel F., Suicide is a very touchy subject most people try to avoid. I think it's a great idea that you have posted a web page about it. Most people that will visit are looking for answers on suicide, hopefully this site will
persuade them not to act upon it. I know I have acted upon it and glad it didn't kill me. I am very happy with life now. Keep the site going.
(thank you for your kind words. we are continually told by
suicide attempt survivors that this site is helpful to them and in their
opinion, helpful to those with suicidal thoughts. we hope that is true and we
hope you are a happy person now.)
Jim, Ft. Myers, Great site, I have shown it to many friends and my kids, in the hopes that it opens their eyes. I point out that while children around the world continue to starve, succumb to terrible diseases or become orphans when their parents die in wars, clowns in this country jump off bridges because their girl/boy friend, husband/wife broke up with them. Keep the site going.
(jim, thanks for the good words. we like to think we help
people realize the folly of suicide with this site. it perplexes us to see how
many wish to cover up and hide suicide, as if that would make it go away. it is
our opinion that suicide should be made folly of by everyone, including the
press. adults that insist on self elimination, despite offers of help, should be
given the tools to do so. who are we to tell anyone they have no right to die?) thanks. my friend is suicidal and you have helped me to learn about resources and ways to try to help. maybe you saved another life.
(it's nice to think we just might prevent a suicide. many
would have you think we promote suicide. we are glad to be of whatever help we
can and we wish you much luck with your friend.)
Kathryn, Tampa, FL., USA, This site isn't all about being offensive, it also gives anyone who may be thinking about it some places to go for help. Also, if anyone if doing a school report they can use this site and the info. (and I am blonde, ha)
(thanks, kathryn, while we appreciate and thank you for
your input, we ponder your blondness. is it true or boxed? does the carpet match
the drapes? oh, the wonders of the universe, the questions of mankind, the
incredibly rude nosiness of this webmaster.)
bonnie, tampa ,fla, usa, the milcharic jumper was a friend of mines cousin and by the way they were truly offended by the site i love it because in my own personal opinion people who stay are the tough ones any coward can jump luv the site and have been spreading the word.......
(thank you, bonnie.)
jim, bradenton, florida, u.s.a., would'nt it be much more fun to go postal 1st? you know, kill those who are causing you to feel sooooo bad. naw, just joking, then you would have to have a website called postal.com or something. wait, i never did look for that kind of website. maybe there already is one, how exciting i better go searching the web right now.
(jim, don't bother, postal.com is just a lame 'free'
e-mail service.)
Laurel, St Pete., I think this site is hilarious. If you love this site and it cracks you up constantly, you should read the book
"A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers. I think the author and the website authors must surely be related and have the same sarcasm genes! Keep up the good work.
PS. Do you guys have jobs? If so, do you have time to sleep? (thank
you very much for your kind words. yes, we do have jobs. the site does take some
time, but we have been at this since 1998. we mess with it during off time when
others watch tv. most of the content is submitted by visitors and posted from
publicly released text. we just piece it all together and add our comments. we
enjoy providing some entertainment to the visitors to this site. again, thank
you.)
jason s., fort stewart, ga., it is a halarious site. the only people that wouldnt think it isnt funny are the ones thinking of doing it
Gary, Hey guys, I am not here to say anything bad about your site. I am from that area and have always had an interest in the Skyway (not jumping from it myself though). I have stopped before and looked over the side of the new span. What a site! I remember inching my way to the side wall. I also remember me and my buddies jumping the fencing of the old Skyway and walking up the ramp of the old Skyway (the one which had been hit). We actually walked out onto the metal grate one night about 1 in the morning. We were about 20 feet away from where the metal roadway was demolished. Looking up that night at the red lights on top of the old bridge was freaky. And the thought of all those who had jumped was haunting as well. It was like you could feel them there with you. One could not help but to think that night that we were standing where many people made their final decision that they just could not face the world any more. I am a cop and seeing/reading death does not phase me. You do have some interesting reading I must say. It is sad that people think suicide is the only way out of their problems. They must feel a hopelessness that you and I have not felt. I would like to make one comment to you guys and please, take it or leave it, it's up to you and I leave it at that. There is a God. There is a Jesus. One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. You and I both will do this. Now, I'm not trying to "win you over", it's just a fact. Believe me though, if you die without accepting Jesus as your Savior... you will be reminded of this email that fateful day when you are bowing before Jesus... begging for His mercy on your soul and He says "depart from me you evil doer of eniquity, I never knew you". Your next stop will be hell. There you will remain not for a day, week, month or year. Not even thousands or millions of years, but for all eternity. And you think the pain the "jumpers" feel is bad? It would be pure pleasure compared to what non-saved people will feel. Like I said friend, I'm not trying to start an argument with you by no means nor am I asking you to discontinue your site. I just want to bring this truth before you. Accept Jesus today. Ask Him into your life. Have a good weekend bud.
Melissa, Memphis, Tennessee, I'm a psych nurse - deal with attempted suicides daily. I find it intriguing, as deranged as that sounds!
(how do you do what you do? doesn't the depression simply
crush you eventually?)
thebiggameover, phx,az,usa, dont do it. unless you really, really want to
Tim, Burnsville, MN., Grandma lives in Bradenton, love the bridge, looking up sites about the bridge and stubbled accross it. GREAT SITE.
yo dis a bull shit web sit yo yall trippin im trying to find the dam big fish fotos i want to see the 7feet 9shark some dude cout i was out there yo im out jump on player and wut da hell the old skyway look like yo
(yo mind was a terrible thing to waste.)
jessica, tampa fl usa, before you commit a homicide do us all a favor you should try suicide
Amy, St. Louis, Nobody likes you, just jump. (you
mean us or people in general?)
John R., Clearwater FL., I figure we are due for some crazed female to take the plunge and Memorial Day weekend seems appropriate, females always look for the most attention to stupid activities.
(ouch. no way will we publicly agree to your view of
females.)
Me, Unfortunatly, USA., First and for most. I love this site. LOVE. I find it so funny, and think its great. I beleive you dont promote suicide either. I think you just have found a way to mess with a touchy subject, and never intended on all the hits your site would get. Suicide is a selfish matter. But its up to the person themselves who take their own lives to do so. I strongly beleive in commiting this horrible act, because I myself know the pain of wanting to. I also know that sometimes, help is just not "available". So dont try to make it sound like, a few stays at a phscy ward is gonna help, or docs, or pills. Its all individual. And no one has any right to judge. With that said. I am an idiot. No one is gonna read this are they? Come on, really?
"Hurray for a child that makes it through, if theres anyway cause the answer lies in you, their laid to rest before, they've known just what to do. Their souls are lost because...They could never find..whats this life for..
(well said.)
Celia E., Binghamton, NY, USA, It's been way too long since I've been here. you guys rool. Hope 2003 is a better year for the unstable. Meanwhile enjoy your life by guessing another's end!
(by better year, do you mean more or less jumpers?)
Ricky K., Michigan, USA., Hey whats goin on. My honest opinion about this website was that it was pretty cool and I got quite a few laughs out of it. I used to live in a city near the skyway. But then today I got recent news of a pretty good friend of mine committing suicide from the bridge. And now I kinda think it's sick and disturbing to sit here and laugh about all this. I will admit I've gotten quite a few kicks out of this site. But from now on I dont think I will be laughing. To all the people that view this site, have fun while it lasts, but think if you were in my shoes or the family's shoes. Its kinda sick. Thank you.
(we are sorry to hear about your friend. having had a
suicide in the family, we appreciate your honesty and opinion. obviously your
friend was suffering and chose to end it. very sad for those that loved him.
hope you feel better soon.)
Kinzley, Anderson, IN., I kinda want to kill myself... But one of my best friends want to kill herself to... I want to help her but I cant... when I want to do the SAME thing! I dont know wut to do... I dont want her to leave me and she hasSOOO much to live for! Email me
and tell me wut you think... Thanks... Kinzley (seems a
lot of you young people want to end it. beats us. when we were growing up, we
would wonder what ending it all might be like, as death is something everyone
thinks about sometimes in their life, but we were too busy living life to
actually end it. we had shit to do and dying wasn't an option. young people now
seem to have everything, yet nothing. blame it on the break up of families, too
many 'things', not enough or too much parental love, stupid tv, pressures to succeed in
life, idiot friends, depressing crap music, trying to keep up with the endless
fashion/accessory/money demands, peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, whatever. bottom line, we have trouble
understanding your desire. if you really want to help your friend, help yourself
in the process and live your life for you. get away from whatever it is that
brings you down. end any bad habits. if your circle of friends isn't doing it for you any more, cut
them loose. if you are failing at living the lifestyle you think you need to
live, change it. be original and screw what others think. do something about
your life. do something about hers. killing yourself is the pussy way out. fight
for your right to party, i mean, fight for your happiness. it's not always easy.
it wasn't meant to be. good luck.)
we get e-mail responding to our reply to kinzley:
05.16.03, Ken S., Tampa, Dude. Not going to rip the site..but when some disturbed A-hole emails you telling his/her intent is to do something stupid I feel it is your obligation to at least point them in the right direction. I am not by any means saying it is your responsibility for what these people want to do, or actually do, but for God's sake please point them in the right direction.
I find this very recklesss. I'm not sure of your qualifactions, but a to advise (or attempt to advise) this person on their email is insane. Probably as insane as the person that sent the email. God willing the next time you receive and email of this nature you will direct them to the proper forum that can help them with thier concerns and hopefully save a life. God bless freedom of speech, God bless doing the right thing, and God bless America!
hello ken, one of the first things we do when
those that want to end their lives contacts us, is to send them to the help
section of the jumperpool. it's located at the bottom of the home page. there is
another page of help links as well. we are currently helping two young females
hell bent on ending their lives and we try to do so without the use of idiot
doctors, shrinks, and meds. those conversations are private and will remain so.
our qualifications are simple: we too can be depressed and have a shit load of
problems, but we choose to remain alive. in our opinion, our advice to kinzley
was answered properly. we always advocate the help section throughout the site
and individually in e-mails to those that write to us. the only thing we would
add to our response to Kinzley would be to mention once again the help
section. after all, Kinzley is the only person on the planet that can keep
him from ending his life.
you know, running this pool
has gone from being done as a joke, to getting involved in helping those that
ask for help. however, there is only so much we can do.
thank you for your concern. we will be changing the help section
and after reading your e-mail, we will include a link to it on every page. thank
you very much for your input. Jim b., Odessa, Flordia, Funny Site, even though people think it is horrible, i think its the funniest thing ever! You really need a good sence of humor to love this site. I quess that means i have a good sence of humor
(you have a good sense of humor too. thanks for the good
words.)
i think its wrong that yall poke fun at suicidal people, however i do think that if someone is stupid to do it that they should be mocked. AND IM BLONDE! BLONDES ARENT ALL DUMB! U ASS
(we be da assest.)
Dan B., St. Pete., This sucks that I can't win if I, you know... win. If I win this pool but don't win because I can't win because I was the winner. Jeez, thinking about it just makes my head spin. Spinning across the ice. Smashing into the boards. Head spinning. Can't win. Gotta win. I WANNA WIN!!!
(dan, do problems with alcohol run in the family?)
Haydn B., Nelson Mid Glamorgan, I have been living as a man for two years but I have had enough, I am going back to Akansas to be the queen of the silver dollar, it is so troubling being a man.
(we are at loss for words here. you make up your own
jokes.)
Rob W., Bradenton, (If i could just get an audience with the DOT) It's a tourist state, why don't we build an observers tower with those telescopes... I think we should put a parking lot with a kiosk to take admissions and build a lane for foot-traffic to the top where a diving board could be useful. Also lets put a camera up there with e-mail so that someone might send a loved-one (or a not so loved-one) a card (CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!) maybe webcast; pay-per-view. This could Produce jobs all around.
Kim, Clearwater, Thanks for the laughs. You are so creative, you ought to write a book. You have such a fun way with words. Lord knows what your book would be about.
(we blush under the praise. you have no idea how much we appreciate your kind words.
doing a book would be something, finding people to read it would be something else.
many have another description of our "fun way with words".
thanks for the picture of your ass.
you have a nice ass, to be sure. we'd like to ride it, but your ass would be
hurting if we did, as we're too big.) Joseph B., Mississippi State, MS., USA, Some may say it's a damn shame that we talk about these people, but I say it's a damn shame that these cats jump off this bridge and take the easy way out instead of facing their problems. Greedy
bastards!
Crazykaty, Australia, scary, i'll do it one day.
Jenny, GA., Hey, I think your site is purty neat, people who do commit suicide don't have nothing wrong with them, they just want attention because they dont get enough, so if a person is going to commit suicide then they should be made fun of. This is good, dont listen to other
people!!
Mark Q., Aurora, Co., is there a way i can post a ad on the bridge? cuz if they are jumping and going to commit suicide, they would probably sell the car that they used to get there really cheap, and i could use a car.
debbie, tampa, fl., i love your site. tell me are you as hot as that woman says. i am looking for a man to spend sometime

michael j., Occidental, CA., 05.10.89, I jumped of the golden gate bridge and it was a mad rush. After a half a second I blacked out and I then awoke in a car. It was so crazy. Nothing was wrong. just some bruses. I loved it. Amanda D., Pinellas park, Florida, Suicide is a very bad thing and it doesnt't just hurt you. It hurts everyone around you!! So if u are contemplating suicide don't do it!
(seems suicidal people don't give a rat's ass about
themselves, much less those around them.)
John R., Clearwater, FL., I figure Valentine's Day would be appropriate for some loser to make the big leap. Besides we have had 1 jumper for every month of the new year, so let's see if the trend holds up.
kate, England, im actually real bored so thanks for givin me smthin 2 do. (next
time you get bored, send us provocative poses.)
Bob "the analyst" S., St. Pete, FL., Now that I live on Sunshine Skyway Lane, I will be more active in participating. Whenever I hear sirens head up the bridge (excepting fire engines. A ladder truck isn't very useful with potential jumpers) I check the page the next day. Looking forward to winning a guess.
(keep your eyes open, bob, you just might win.)
Glenn P., Clearwater, Fl., Love the Web-site, I have forward it to so many people and they love it to! You guy's are the best! Just one question, do you guy's/girl's "if there is any" have any product's for sale like a tee shirt or anything like that, I would love to buy one from you and let other people that you guy's/girl's " again if there is any" are out there. Please E-Mail me back. Again I love your web-site and I will let other people know about it.... Take care!
(glenn, thanks for the good words. sorry, we have no t-shirts, mouse pads, ball caps, bumper stickers, pencils,
miniature ponies, shrunken heads, dancing girls, or any other skyway bridge
jumperpool articles for sale or lease. we wish we had something, maybe in the
future.)
emily, near the skyway, florida, basically, this site is wonderful. i do not advocate suicide, but i also do not think that people should be forced to live. i believe that human beings have always had a preoccupation with escaping the inevitable and trying to achieve immortality. it does not happen. suicide may be a sad and sometimes disrespectful thing to those that are left behind, but death happens to everyone in one way or another. so why not laugh about it? keep up the good work, a psychology student. (heh.)
(emily, thank you for your input. you can write to us
anytime.)
Jeff Y., Harrisburg, PA., Valentines Day...broken heart leads to Jilted Lover's Leap and a broken body.
Young, Harrisburg, PA., Valentine's Day....the next jumper takes the plunge. Broken heart leads to a broken body.
(i think young knows jeff y.)
Alvin S., st.petersburg, dude this website is cool as shit, keep up the good work
fellas! by the way,can i get a job?
(thanks, we'll try, and no.)
justin, bradenton, fl., does it count if i throw a family member off the bridge on my guessed day and collect the pool prize?
(no, rules state emphatically that you may not
"volunteer" others to jump in order to win this pool.)
chris, St Pete Fl., I further predict that bullsharks and pelicans will eat all the remains except for 2 ribs from the left side. Big Tim's is supplying the sauce!!!
(yum!)
M. Hawkins, Bradenton, FL., I am a blonde and I did not need to start over. I hope that my guess is wrong. This is one pool I don't wish to win.
Kathy Z., Hayward Ca., Jump Martha Stewart! Jump! (it's
nice to dream, isn't it?)
J-Red, Kearney, Nebraska, Damn funny. Last time I shot myself in the head, I said "Not enough gun." Now how do I top that?
(2 guns.)
Chesney N., Leetonia, OH., this is the sweetest page since Real Ultimate Power! and when i say sweet, i mean TOTALLY AWESOME!
(dude!)
Jeff W., St. Petersburg, FL., It's the hollidays, things should be picking up soon.
brian k., St.petersburg Fl., I am retired Coast Guard and was the engineering petty officer stationed at St.Petersburg and used to pull the bodys from the water. We actually had a guy crawl over the rail while we were in a boat below to recover him and I thought he might jump in the boat. The police finally talked him down.
(feel free to discreetly input anytime.)
