a
skyway jumper survivor has an invention
that could possibly end skyway jumpers.

hanns jones jumped off the skyway
on may 30th, 2001 and lives to tell about it. he is now driven to prevent
further jumpers and has dedicated much time inventing a device that could
possibly end future skyway jumping or at least, severely cut down on them. he has sent us pictures describing his
invention and has a web site. will government see the potential of
this device or will it make too much sense to implement? you be the judge.
the Electro Safety Rail©,
otherwise known as the E.S.R.© device, rests as a rail on top of the
existing wall along the edge of the bridge. it's a hinged device that uses
high voltage and near zero amperage to shock potential jumpers when downward pressure
is applied, as a jumper pulls on the device to climb over it.
some may think
shocking someone like that may be cruel and unusual treatment. however, such
treatment is already legally applied when a
taser is used
to prevent someone from hurting themselves or others. the use of this device to
prevent a jumper from hurting them self has thus been established by law.
besides, what's worse, a quick electrical shock preventing a jump or having
another body floating in the channel? every day that this device is ignored by
those that govern, is another day they really do not care about stopping
jumpers. they spent $1 million on worthless cameras that have little power to
stop jumpers and about that much on solar powered phones that may stop
someone, if they actually use them. most do not. all jumpers would have to
deal with the E.S.R.©.
the
E.S.R.© also appears
to be bridge friendly. it has a low profile, would not add excessive weight
or wind resistance to the bridge structure, and still allows
acceptable scenic value. the visual addition would no doubt help calm many
bridge travelers that find the retaining wall too low and worrisome.
we propose that a section of
E.S.R.© railing be installed on
one side of the main span edge, known for most of the
suicide jumpers. this is the area contained within the solar powered phones. at the end of one year,
decide whether the side with the E.S.R.©
rail had more or less jumpers than the side without the device. the skyway bridge could very
well be the instrumental test bridge for this device, forever after acknowledged
as the bridge that got jumper prevention started, without costly
fences and nets. the governmental entity that encourages this device would
thus be known as the one that finally stopped or at least, severely limited further suicides
off the skyway, as well as any other structure that implemented the device.
there'd be parades, parties, hot babes for the whole staff, and, of course,
money to skim off the project. government entities expect that sorta stuff.
it is the
sole opinion of jumperpool.com, that this invention makes too much sense for anyone in
government to comprehend. we wish mr. jones much luck and success in implementing his
invention through a governmental bureaucracy that has it's collective head
shoved so far up it's own ass, that they can't find their way out and are
only skilled in making things worse to the detriment of we the people. |
